In the last week of June, the China EV market sent mixed signals, with sales up for most automakers. Nio was up 17%, Xpeng was up 32%, Tesla was up 50%, while BYD was down 6% compared with the week before.

Onvo registered 1,670 units, Firefly 820, bringing Nio Group registrations to 6,280 units, up 20%. In the first four weeks of the month (June 2-29), Nio Group registered 20,480 vehicles in China.

Key events to watch:

• Xpeng, Leapmotor and Xiaomi reached their highest weekly registrations in their history
• Tesla is up 49.9% WoW and 46.7% YoY, marking a strong close to June
• Onvo is up 15.2%, having the best week in the last 17 weeks, despite sales still being far from expected
• Firefly up 70%, after three weeks of being flat
• Li Auto got outsold by Aito, Xpeng, Leapmotor and Xiaomi – a rare moment

The weekly sales were published by Li Auto. However, Li Auto ceased publishing them in March 2025 after the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) “recommended” that Li Auto, media and any third parties end it. CAAM says weekly data “undermines the industry order” and “fuels vicious competition.” Since then, Li Auto has published only its own weekly EV registration.

The weekly data are used by consultants, analysts, or investors to see the sales trend and forecast monthly deliveries. They show how many cars were registered for road traffic, which can be later compared with automakers’ self-reported monthly sales, which, unlike registrations, include cars for showrooms, test cars, and other uses.

Most of China’s media have followed CAAM’s recommendation to stop publishing weekly figures. CarNewsChina continues to publish weekly insurance registrations, based on China EV DataTracker data.

The numbers are rounded and present new energy vehicle (NEV) sales, the Chinese term for BEVs, PHEVs, and EREVs (range extenders). To be completely precise, it also includes hydrogen vehicles (FCEVs), but their sales are almost non-existent in China.
