Chinese car buyers continue to drive EV sales

  • XPeng, Li Auto, and NIO set a record for EV deliveries in November
  • XPeng deliveries almost tripled from a year ago
  • Combined sales of the three companies reached 77,030 units in November
  • Year-to-date deliveries for the three companies are up about 80%
  • Stock prices of XPeng and NIO were down, while Li Auto’s stock rose

In November, XPeng, Li Auto, and NIO achieved record-breaking deliveries of electric vehicles (EVs). XPeng’s deliveries almost tripled compared to the previous year, while Li Auto set a new record with 41,030 units delivered. NIO delivered 15,959 units, showing a significant increase from the previous year. Together, the three companies delivered a total of 77,030 units, marking a monthly record for combined sales. Year-to-date, the three EV makers have seen an 80% increase in deliveries. Despite the positive delivery numbers, stock prices for XPeng and NIO were down, while Li Auto’s stock rose. This indicates that other factors may be influencing the stock market performance of these companies. Tesla, another major player in the EV market, also experienced a decline in stock price. However, the deliveries from competitors are not the reason for this, as Tesla recently started delivering its Cybertruck. Investors will have to wait for Chinese sales data from industry associations to get a clearer picture of the market. Overall, the record-breaking deliveries by XPeng, Li Auto, and NIO demonstrate the continued growth and demand for EVs in China.
