In the sixth week of the year, China’s EV market was mostly up as the Chinese New Year holiday ended. Xiaomi was up 83%, Tesla was up 24%, BYD was up 50%, and Nio was down 15%.

Week 6 (W6) of 2025 was between February 3 and 9.

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. Insurance registration is reported by regulator-related automotive associations, while sales are mostly self-reported by automakers and might include show cars and other instruments.

BYD got the first spot with 28,900 vehicle registrations, up 50.5% from 19,200 units the week before. Those numbers do not include BYD’s brands, Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang.
