<\/div>\n

China\u2019s electric vehicle (EV) sector recorded a strong rebound in August as sales recovered from a mid-year slump, as per a CNBC report.<\/p>\n

Leading automakers BYD, Nio, Xpeng, and Leapmotor posted delivery records following a challenging period of price cuts and intense competition. <\/p>\n

The upturn signals renewed demand after months of volatility, with several new model launches and sub-brand expansions driving momentum.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some companies struggled with declining deliveries amid public controversies. <\/p>\n

The August numbers highlight how pricing strategies, product innovation, and brand perception continue to shape China\u2019s crowded EV market.<\/p>\n

BYD, China\u2019s largest EV maker, shipped 371,501 vehicles in August. That marked nearly 22% growth compared with the same period a year earlier. <\/p>\n

The figure underlined BYD\u2019s ability to hold ground in the price war that unsettled the market during the summer.<\/p>\n

Nio sets new record with 31,305 shipments<\/h2>\n

Nio reached a new monthly record with 31,305 deliveries in August. This marked a sharp recovery after July\u2019s slowdown. <\/p>\n

Much of the growth came from its family-focused sub-brand Onvo, which made 16,434 deliveries in August compared with just 5,976 in July.<\/p>\n

Alongside this, Nio opened pre-orders for its ES8 SUV, priced from 308,800 yuan ($43,305), with deliveries also scheduled for later this month.<\/p>\n

Leapmotor and Xpeng post all-time highs<\/h2>\n

Leapmotor delivered 57,066 vehicles in August, up 88% year on year and an increase on July\u2019s 50,129 units. <\/p>\n

The surge followed the July 24 launch of the B01 model, which sold more than 10,000 units in its first month.<\/p>\n

Sales were further supported by a new colour release of the B10 model. <\/p>\n

This was Leapmotor\u2019s strongest monthly growth since March, when deliveries climbed from 25,287 in February to 37,095.<\/p>\n

Xpeng also reported a record month with 37,709 deliveries in August. <\/p>\n

Its new P7 model, launched on 28 August, was priced competitively from 219,800 yuan.<\/p>\n

The lower price point positioned it among the most affordable EVs in the market, fuelling strong early demand.<\/p>\n

Mixed results for other EV makers<\/h2>\n

Xiaomi maintained over 30,000 deliveries in August, though the company did not disclose exact figures. <\/p>\n

The result followed momentum from the YU7 SUV launch in July.<\/p>\n

Geely-owned Zeekr recorded 17,626 sales in August, slightly above July\u2019s 16,977 units after plateauing in earlier months.<\/p>\n

Li Auto, however, marked its third consecutive month of decline, delivering 28,529 vehicles in August versus 30,731 in July. <\/p>\n

The fall came despite the launch of its Li i8 model on 29 July.<\/p>\n

The company faced criticism after a video showed a collision test between the Li i8 and a truck from Dongfeng Liuzhou. <\/p>\n

Online backlash suggested the test conditions were unfair.<\/p>\n

Although Li Auto initially defended the marketing strategy, it later issued an apology to the truck maker.<\/p>\n

Huawei-backed Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, which includes brands Aito, Chery, and Maextro, also saw weaker results. <\/p>\n

The alliance delivered 44,579 vehicles in August, down from 47,752 in July. No brand-specific breakdown was released.<\/p>\n
