Deliveries

Neta's flagship sedan Neta S delivered 1,517 units in January, for a cumulative total of 3,722 units since deliveries began in late November.

Nio said it delivered 2,190 SUVs and 6,316 sedans in January, without providing a breakdown of specific models.

Zeekr's factory resumed production on February 1 after a 21-day shutdown, the company said.

The month's vehicle deliveries reflected a seasonal slowdown during the Chinese New Year holiday that began in mid-January, Xpeng said.

Li Auto's deliveries in January were down from December due to the negative impact of the Chinese New Year holiday, a seasonal factor.

Nio has started deliveries of the EL7 in the Netherlands, and deliveries of the SUV model in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway are also about to begin.

A facelift of the Xpeng P7 is expected to debut in March, the new SUV G7 is expected to be unveiled at the Shanghai auto show, and an MPV model is scheduled to begin mass production in September, according to local media.

In the second week of January, China's NEV sales, as measured by insurance registrations, were 99,000 units, up 37.51 percent year-on-year and up 28.61 percent from the previous week.

For the full year 2022, China's NEV sales were 6.887 million units, up 93.4 percent year-on-year, accounting for 25.6 percent of all vehicle sales.

The Tesla Model Y sold 315,314 units in 2022, which is 2.11 times that of the second-place Mercedes-Benz GLC.
