Leapmotor's higher-priced C-series models contributed more than 83 percent of April deliveries.

Zeekr aims to be one of the leading brands in the European EV market by 2030, an executive said.

The P7i, which was launched in March, continues to gather strong order momentum and the company is significantly ramping up production, which will accelerate customer deliveries in the near future, Xpeng said.

In April, most deliveries went to the ET5 and ES7, while Nio has been upgrading its product from NT 1.0 to NT2.0, it said.

From January to April, Neta delivered 37,256 vehicles. The company is aiming to deliver 300,000 vehicles this year.

From January to April, GAC Aion sold 121,320 vehicles, up 120.24 percent from 55,086 vehicles in the same period last year.

April was the first full month of deliveries for Li Auto's cheaper five-seat SUV, the Li L7.

Nio aims to grab market share from Volkswagen by introducing a model priced below 30,000 euros to the European market, a German magazine quoted William Li as saying.

On April 28, Nio saw a record 62,746 battery swap services provided in a single day, with the stations along highways providing 104 percent more service than the previous day.

Disgruntled ES7 owners have asked Nio to offer additional benefits as compensation, but have been denied.
