BYD is firmly in the top spot with a market share of 15.4%, leaving Tesla in second place.This is not a surprise. To me, this is a reflection of strength.
Tesla? Ranked third, brother!
12.6% market share sounds good, but compared with BYD… the gap is a bit obvious. I remember that Musk was so glorious two years ago, but now? He has been surpassed by Wang Chuanfu, a “tech geek”.
Xiaopeng Motors ranks sixth, which is really impressive.Why? Just because of the Mona M03! I have driven this car myself – the price is just over 100,000 yuan, it comes standard with laser radar, and the XNGP intelligent driving system is quite good.
To be honest, when Xiaopeng was almost “cool”, who could have thought that it would be like this today?
Geely followed closely behind and ranked third, SAIC-GM-Wuling ranked fourth… To be honest, Chinese brands occupy 6 seats in this list, and this report card is very proud!
But what shocked me the most was Xiaomi!
With only one model, SU7, it made it to the eighth place. Lei Jun made a ruthless move. I have test-driven SU7. It has 800V high-voltage fast charging, self-developed motor, and smart cockpit… It is really good. 135,000 vehicles were delivered in the first year, directly threatening the position of Model 3.
Mobile phone manufacturers really understand how to make cars.
Leapmotor ranked ninth… This brand was still unknown a few years ago, but now it has made it into the top ten. C11’s high-end and low-price strategy has really captured the hearts of young people.
Global pure electric vehicle sales reached 2.67 million, a year-on-year increase of 45% – behind this number is a major reshuffle of the entire industry.
Among non-Chinese brands, except Tesla, only Volkswagen ranked fifth, BMW ranked seventh, and Hyundai ranked tenth… The days of old car companies are really not easy.
Volkswagen’s sales in the first quarter increased by 41% year-on-year, which is a good performance. But BMW? Poor performance in the Chinese market, all supported by the European market… This is a bit embarrassing.
To me, the biggest highlight of this list is not who ranks first.
But the change of the whole pattern!
Chinese new energy vehicle companies have changed from “chasers” to “leaders”, behind which is the accumulation of technology, advantages in the industrial chain, and accurate grasp of market demand.BYD’s blade battery, Xiaopeng’s smart driving, Xiaomi’s ecological integration… Each company has its own killer.
What about Tesla? Aging models, price war pressure, increasingly strong competitors… Musk has to rethink his strategy.
Although Model Y can still be sold, facing the impact of rising stars such as BYD Seal and Xiaomi SU7, its advantages are indeed shrinking.
The most interesting thing is Xiaopeng Mona M03, nearly half of the sales are contributed by it-a car supports the growth of a brand, which is rare in the car circle.
I have driven this car, and the support of laser radar has indeed taken the intelligent driving experience to a higher level. At a price of just over 100,000, you can buy this configuration, and the cost performance is really nothing to say.
To put it bluntly, the current pure electric vehicle market is no longer a competition of “who does it first”, but a competition of “who does it better, cheaper, and understands users better”.
Wuling Hongguang MINIEV can still maintain its top spot in the mini car market… With a starting price of 32,800 yuan, its penetration rate in the sinking market exceeds 60%. This is the charm of Made in China – making good things cheap so that more people can use them.
Leapmotor C11 comes standard with dual-motor four-wheel drive and a range of 700km+… How much did this configuration cost before? Now it can be done for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The result of the industry’s “involution” will always benefit consumers.
But then again, this list also reflects a trend – if traditional fuel car companies do not accelerate their electrification transformation, they may really be left behind.
Although Hyundai ranks tenth, it is mainly driven by the US and European markets… In China, the world’s largest new energy vehicle market, it performs mediocrely.
In the next few years, this list will change even more, and the advantages of Chinese brands may be further expanded.
The advantages of the industrial chain are there, and the speed of technological iteration is also faster.
If you ask me, now is a good time to buy a pure electric car. There are many choices, mature technology, and reasonable prices… If you wait and see, you may miss the best opportunity to buy one.
