So far this year, cumulative retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China totaled 12.088 million units, up 3 percent year-on-year.
This means that China's NEV penetration at retail stood at 52.59 percent from August 1-11 and 36.29 percent year-to-date.
China's retail sales of NEVs in July were 878,000 units, the first time penetration has exceeded 50 percent on a monthly basis, according to data released by the CPCA earlier this month.
Since mid-to-late July, manufacturers and dealers have been rolling back promotions and stabilizing prices to maintain channel stability, the CPCA said in the report today.
In early August, hot weather vacations for car companies were seen more intensively, leading to more volatile sales trends, according to the report.
Recently, manufacturers have reduced production and sales pressure at the beginning of the month due to pressure on dealers and market price changes, and sales should pick up in the second half of August, the CPCA said.
In the first week of August -- August 1-4 -- China's average daily retail sales of passenger cars were 41,015, up 2 percent year-on-year and up 5 percent from the same period last month.
In the second week of August -- August 5-11 -- average daily retail sales of passenger cars in China were 50,984, up 10 percent year-on-year and up 23 percent from the same period last month.
