China’s EV market was mostly up in the third week of February, with several exceptions. Nio was up 30%, BYD was up 26%, Xiaomi was down 7%, and Tesla was down 7%.

The weekly sales are published by Li Auto, and despite Li’s not explicitly saying it, they are based on insurance registration data. The numbers are rounded and present new energy vehicles (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. Onvo registrations are not published by Li Auto but come from China EV DataTracker.

Keep in mind that insurance registration and sales/deliveries are different datasets. Regulator-related automotive associations report insurance registration, while delivery data are self-reported by automakers, which might include show cars, test cars, and other instruments.
