Li Auto's insurance registrations last week were 11,700, Xpeng 3,600, Zeekr 5,700, Leapmotor 8,200 and Aito 6,500.
Major electric vehicle (EV) makers mostly saw insurance registrations in China slip last week, as vehicle deliveries were typically slow at the start of the month.
For the week of November 4 to November 10, Nio (NYSE: NIO) branded vehicles had 3,000 insurance registrations in China, down 31.82 percent from 4,400 in the previous week, according to data shared today by Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI).

Onvo launched its first model, the L60, on September 19, and deliveries began on September 28.
