Li Auto had 12,300 insurance registrations last week, Xpeng 6,300, Zeekr 6,000, Leapmotor 8,500 and Aito 7,200.
Major electric vehicle (EV) makers mostly saw insurance registrations in China rise last week, as opposed to weakness earlier in the month.
For the week of November 11-17, Nio (NYSE: NIO) branded vehicles saw insurance registrations of 3,800 units in China, up 26.67 percent from 3,000 in the previous week, according to data shared today by Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI).
Li Auto stopped sharing weekly insurance registration numbers earlier this year, after doing so for about 1 year. In early May, it resumed sharing those numbers in the form of weekly rankings.
The figures Li Auto shares are by brand, and in Nio's case do not include sales of sub-brand Onvo.
Onvo failed to make the list shared by Li Auto as before, though according to figures shared by several car bloggers on Weibo, the Nio sub-brand had around 1,000 insurance registrations last week, up 21.95 percent from 820 the week before.
Onvo launched its first model, the L60, on September 19 and deliveries began on September 28.
Nio Inc delivered 20,976 vehicles in October, up 30.50 percent from 16,074 a year ago while down 0.97 percent from 21,181 in September.

Li Auto on October 31 guided fourth-quarter vehicle deliveries to be between 160,000 and 170,000 vehicles, implying a year-on-year increase of 21.4 percent to 29.0 percent, just slightly higher than the 152,831 vehicles delivered in the third quarter.
The guidance implies that Li Auto's monthly deliveries for the last two months of the year will likely be at just over 50,000 units.
