Figures released earlier this month by the CPCA show that Tesla sold 75,842 China-made vehicles in April, including 35,886 units exported.

That means Tesla delivered 39,956 vehicles in China in April, with 47.32 percent of the vehicles produced at the Shanghai plant being exported.

The US electric vehicle maker's plant in Shanghai currently only produces the Model 3 as well as the Model Y. Including exports, the two models sold 26,783 and 49,059 units in April, respectively, according to the CPCA.

Today's figures mean that Tesla's Shanghai plant exported 13,587 China-made Model 3s and 22,299 China-made Model Ys in April.

In China, Model Y sales in April were up 2,687.50 percent from 960 units in the same month last year, but down 51.29 percent from 54,937 units in March.

Model 3 sales in China in April were up 2,290.58 percent from 552 units a year ago, but down 39.26 percent from 21,726 units in March.

These changes are due to the fact that Tesla's sales in China fell sharply last April due to the Covid lockdown in Shanghai, and its pattern of producing vehicles primarily for export in the first half of each quarter.

In the rankings released today by the CPCA, the Model Y was the third best-selling new energy SUV in April.

BYD Song and BYD Yuan Plus were the top 2 best-selling new energy SUVs in April with 33,007 and 28,931 retail sales, respectively.

From January to April, the Model Y sold 121,407 units, up 60.5 percent year-on-year, and was the second best-selling new energy SUV during this period, according to the CPCA's rankings.

The BYD Song was the top-selling new energy SUV from January to April, with 174,422 units, up 83.0 percent year-on-year.

Among the top 10 new energy sedans in April, the Tesla Model 3 came in at No. 7, while NIO's (NYSE: NIO) ET5 sedan failed to make the list.

April 11, 2023

From January to March, Tesla Model Y retail sales in China were 94,647 units, second only to BYD Song's 141,415 units.

The Model Y typically sees good results in an SUV ranking in China when Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) delivers more vehicles to local consumers at the end of each quarter.

The Model Y sold 54,937 retail units in China in March, placing it at No. 1 on the list of best-selling SUVs in the country, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on April 11.

Sales of the Tesla SUV in China last month rose 38.28 percent from 39,730 units a year earlier and 115.22 percent from 25,526 units in February, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

BYD Song was the second best-selling SUV in China in March with 40,114 units sold at retail, according to the CPCA's ranking. BYD Yuan Plus ranked third with 27,907 units.

The BYD Song remained the best-selling SUV in China from January to March, with 141,415 units sold at retail, up 91.9 percent year-on-year.

The Tesla Model Y ranked second with 94,647 retail sales in China in January-March, up 26.7 percent year-on-year.

BYD Yuan Plus ranked third with 62,528 retail sales in January-March.

Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that produces the Model 3 sedan as well as the Model Y. Its pattern is to produce cars for export in the first half of each quarter and for the local market in the second half.

Tesla delivered 76,663 units in China in March and exported 12,206, according to data released by the CPCA on April 10.

Model 3 retail sales in China in March were 21,726 units, down 16.52 percent year-on-year and up 158.74 percent from February, according to the CPCA's latest figures.

This puts that Tesla sedan in 5th place in the March new energy sedan sales rankings, with BYD Qin in first place with 43,230 sales and BYD Dolphin in second place with 27,687 units.

From January to March, the Model 3 sold 42,782 units in China, up 27.3 percent year-on-year, making it the fifth best-selling new energy sedan in China during this period.

China / CPCA / CPCA Ranking / Electric / eMobility / eV / EV Data / Monthly Data / Nio / NIO ET5 / NIO ET7 / Top EVs
April 11, 2023

The models ahead of the ET5 are all from German luxury automakers Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. | NIO US | NIO HK | NIO SG

The ET5, which has been the main seller for NIO (NYSE: NIO) in recent months, saw its position unchanged in a premium sedan ranking last month.

With 6,437 retail sales in March, the ET5 ranked No. 7 in China for premium sedan sales starting at more than 300,000 yuan ($43,560), according to a list released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

The ranking is the same as in February, when the ET5 sold 6,471 units at retail, as previously reported by CnEVPost.

The ET5 is the least expensive of the NIO product array, with a starting price of RMB 328,000. Deliveries of the model begin on September 30, 2022.

NIO delivered 10,378 vehicles in March, including 3,203 SUVs, and 7,175 sedans, according to figures the company announced on April 1.

Considering that NIO's sedans are only ET7 and ET5, this means that ET7 delivered 738 units in March.

The ET7 delivered 649 units in February. Earlier today, NIO announced that in addition to the new ES6, it will launch the 2023 ET7 on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18.

Except for the ET5, none of the other models in the premium sedan sales ranking are battery-electric vehicles. The models with higher sales than the ET5 are all from German luxury car companies Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.

The Audi A6L topped the list, with 15,614 retail sales in March, while the Mercedes-Benz C-Class ranked second with 14,145 units and the BMW 3 Series third with 13,924 units.

In January-March, the NIO ET5 ranked seventh with 18,703 units sold at retail. The model was No. 6 on the January-February list with 12,266 units sold.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was the best-selling premium sedan in China in the first three months with 40,261 units sold. The Audi A6L ranked second with 40,246 units. The BMW 3 Series ranked 3rd with 37,151 units.

As in March, the premium sedans that sold more than the ET5 in January-March were all from German luxury car companies.

BYD Song was the best-selling SUV in China in February with 51,592 retail sales, and the Model Y ranked No. 2 with 25,526 units.

TSLA.US

The Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y was the No. 2 best-selling SUV in China in February, with the BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) Song taking the top spot by a significant margin.

Model Y retail sales in China in February were 25,526 units, up 37.3 percent from 18,593 units a year ago, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

That puts the Tesla SUV at No. 2 on the list of best-selling SUVs in China, according to the CPCA's list.

The BYD Song topped the list with 51,592 retail sales in February, up 110.3 percent from 24,532 units in the same month last year.

BYD Yuan Plus retail sales in February were 20,279 units, up 349.1 percent from 4,515 units in the same month last year, and ranked third on the list.

In January-February, BYD Song retail sales were 101,301 units, up 115.6 percent year-on-year, making it the best-selling SUV in China for the first two months.

The Tesla Model Y came in second on the list with 39,710 units in the same period, up 13.6 percent year-on-year, and the Changan CS75 came in third with 35,030 units.

Notably, this is the first time the CPCA has not placed the Model Y in the ranking of high-end SUV sales with a starting price above 300,000 yuan ($43,080).

In the CPCA's previous lists, the Model Y has appeared in the premium SUV sales rankings, even though its starting price has been below RMB 300,000 after two major price cuts.

Tesla Model 3 sales in February were 8,397 units, up 82.3 percent from 4,607 units a year ago, according to the CPCA.

This puts the Model 3 at No. 7 among the best-selling new energy sedans in February.

The BYD Qin was the best-selling new energy sedan in February, with the NIO ET5 ranking 10th on the list with 6,471 units sold.

In January-February, the Tesla Model 3 retailed 21,056 units in China, placing it at No. 6 on the list of best-selling new energy sedans.

The NIO ET5 sold 12,266 units in January-February, ranking No. 9 on the list.

China / CPCA / CPCA Ranking / Electric / eMobility / eV / EV Data / Monthly Data / Nio / NIO ET5 / NIO ET7 / Top EVs
March 9, 2023

NIO ET5 ranks No. 7 with 6,471 retail sales in February, surpassed by Audi A4L with 6,935 sales.

NIO.US | 9866.HK | NIO.SG

NIO's (NYSE: NIO) ET5 electric sedan slipped in a China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) sales ranking of premium sedans, as it was passed by the Audi A4L last month.

With 6,471 retail sales in February, the ET5 ranked No. 7 in China for premium sedan sales starting at more than 300,000 yuan ($43,080), according to a list released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

The ET5 ranking dropped one spot from January as the previously No. 7 Audi A4L outsold the ET5 with 6,935 units in February.

In January, the ET5 ranked No. 6 on the list with 5,795 retail sales, while the Audi A4L was ranked No. 7 with 4,943 units.

The ET5 is the cheapest in the NIO product array, with a starting price of RMB 328,000. Deliveries of the model began on September 30, 2022.

NIO delivered 12,157 vehicles in February, including 5,037 SUVs, and 7,120 sedans.

Considering that NIO's sedans include only the ET7 and ET5, this means that ET7 delivered 649 units in February.

The ET7 has failed to make the list for the past two months, and the flagship NIO sedan had 1,379 deliveries in December, when it ranked No. 10.

The Audi A6L was the best-selling premium sedan in China in February, with 12,167 units sold, and the top spot on the list in January was the BMW 5 Series.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Mercedes-Benz C-Class came in second and third with 12,153 and 11,869 units respectively in February.

The BMW 5 Series and BMW 3 Series ranked fourth and fifth in February with 9,609 and 8,868 units respectively. The BMW 3 Series BEV ranked 8th with 2,976 units.

In January-February, the NIO ET5 ranked 6th with 12,266 units sold.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was the best-selling premium sedan in China in the first two months, with 26,696 units sold. The BMW 5 Series ranked second with 25,737 units.

The Audi A6L was No. 3 with 24,632 units, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was No. 4 with 17,762 units and the BMW 3 Series was No. 5 with 16,627 units.

The Audi A4L ranked 7th with 11,878 units sold in January-February and the BMW 3 Series BEV ranked 8th with 6,600 units.
