EV Deliveries in China: Leapmotor Shines Amidst Price Wars
EV Deliveries Reach New Heights
EV deliveries in China have taken a pivotal turn with Leapmotor leading the charge. The company reported record deliveries of 30,305 units, outpacing its previous best by 37.2%. As Li Auto stumbled with a 5.6% drop, the need for aggressive marketing strategies became apparent.
Escalating Competition in the EV Market
While Leapmotor celebrates its success, Nio and Xpeng are locked in fierce competition, fueled by a price war that is shaking the industry. Nio reported 20,498 deliveries, reflecting a small monthly decline, whereas Xpeng saw a 26% increase with 14,036 units delivered.
- Leapmotor: 30,305 deliveries
- Li Auto: 48,122 units, down by 5.6%

Incentives Fueling Sales
China's EV market continues to thrive, with over 878,000 hybrids and electric vehicles sold in July alone, marking a significant moment when EVs outsold petrol cars. Yet, overcapacity concerns loom as sales tactics become increasingly aggressive.
As competition heats up, only a few manufacturers, including BYD and Li Auto, manage to stay profitable amid this tumultuous environment.
