Xpeng and NIO, two Chinese EV startups, recently reported their August sales numbers. Xpeng delivered 14,036 EVs in August 2024, representing a 3% year-over-year increase. However, this marked a significant 26% growth over the previous month. In the first 8 months of the year, Xpeng delivered 77,209 EVs, showing a solid 17% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Extrapolating from the August sales, the annual sales rate for Xpeng could reach 168,432 units, indicating promising growth potential, particularly with the introduction of the new M03 model.
On the other hand, NIO experienced a 4% growth in August 2024 with 20,176 deliveries, compared to the same period in 2023. The total deliveries in the first 8 months of 2024 reached 128,100, showing a 36% increase over the previous year. With a cumulative sales figure of 577,694 vehicles, NIO is on track for continued growth. By multiplying the August deliveries by 12, an annualized rate of 242,112 deliveries could be achieved, potentially leading to the milestone of 1 million vehicle sales within two years. Given NIO’s upward sales trajectory, this milestone could be reached even sooner, possibly before the end of 2025.
Both Xpeng and NIO demonstrate positive sales trends, despite the modest growth rates in August. Xpeng’s focus on Smart EVs and the potential impact of their new model suggest promising developments ahead. Similarly, NIO’s consistent sales growth and impressive cumulative sales figures indicate a strong market presence and potential for further expansion. With the EV market continuing to evolve and demand for electric vehicles increasing globally, both companies are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and continue their upward trajectory.
