Price war fears grip China’s EV market after woeful July sales figures

China's electric vehicle (EV) market faces growing concerns over potential price wars following weak July sales figures from three major premium EV manufacturers. Xpeng, Nio, and Li Auto all reported month-on-month sales declines, marking the end of previous growth trends. Xpeng saw a 5.2% drop in deliveries to 38,027 units, while Nio experienced an 11.5% decline to 35,934 units. Li Auto recorded its fourth consecutive month of falling sales, dropping 1.4% to 30,468 units. Although some larger EV companies showed slight month-on-month improvements, their annual comparisons remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels, reflecting broader challenges in the sector.
