Among them, Xiaomi Auto is the new energy manufacturer with the largest increase, with a year-on-year increase of 305.0%, mainly because Xiaomi Auto’s first model was launched at the end of March 2024, and delivery did not start until April, resulting in a low overall base. However, the monthly sales of 28,600 vehicles are already a good performance in the new energy vehicle industry, for a car company that has just been listed for a year.

Judging from the sales list in April, the competition in the new energy vehicle market has just begun. The rise of Leapmotor, Xiaopeng Motors and Xiaomi Motors has shown us the competitive pressure in the Chinese electric vehicle market. From the current perspective, the sales threshold for new forces has been raised to more than 30,000 vehicles, and 20,000 vehicles should gradually become the life and death line.
