Extended-range models support the continuous expansion of the 40,000-unit monthly sales camp
Entering June, domestic new energy vehicle companies have successively handed in their sales results for May. Overall, the sales of most car companies in May achieved both year-on-year and month-on-month growth, and some new car-making forces have achieved monthly sales of more than 40,000 vehicles. Among them, Leapmotor led the way with a delivery of 45,000 vehicles, achieving the "three consecutive championships" of the monthly list. Ideal Auto's delivery volume increased by more than 20% month-on-month, becoming the runner-up on the list; Wenjie Auto delivered more than 36,600 vehicles in May, ranking third. It is worth mentioning that as the top three in the list of new car-making forces' delivery volume in May, the sales of Leapmotor, Ideal Auto and Wenjie are all supported by extended-range models. The extended-range models, which were once regarded as "backward" technology products, are becoming the biggest boost for new energy vehicle companies to increase sales. Kang Bo, vice president of Seres Group, told reporters that in the short term, when the bottleneck of power battery technology is difficult to truly break through, the extended-range is an important solution to solve the anxiety of battery life. "The extended-range also has better flexibility and testability, and is more compatible with the system of traditional industries, which is more in line with the usage habits of existing users."
