Nio vehicles saw a record 6,700 insurance registrations in China last week, up 24.07 percent from 5,400 the week before.

Multiple electric vehicle (EV) makers saw insurance registrations increase in China last week, as the end of the month usually has a pulse to the upside.

For the week of May 27-June 2, Nio (NYSE: NIO) vehicles saw a record 6,700 insurance registrations in China, up 24.07 percent from 5,400 in the previous week, according to data shared today by Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI).

Li Auto stopped sharing weekly insurance registration numbers earlier this year, after doing so for about 1 year. In early May, it resumed sharing those numbers.

Last week included the last 5 days of May and the first 2 days of June. Vehicle deliveries usually see a pulse upwards at the end of the month, and are usually lower at the beginning of the month.

Nio delivered 20,544 vehicles in May, surpassing the 20,462 vehicles delivered in July 2023 for a new record high, according to figures it announced on June 1.

That’s an increase of 233.78 percent from 6,155 vehicles in the same period last year and up 31.52 percent from 15,620 in April.

In the January-May period, Nio delivered 66,217 vehicles, up 50.99 percent year-on-year, CnEVPost’s calculations show.

May’s deliveries were Li Auto’s highest for a single month so far in the year, though still well below last December’s record 50,353 vehicles.

So far this year, Li Auto has delivered 141,207 vehicles, up 32.54 percent year-on-year, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.

On May 24, Reuters reported that Tesla’s Shanghai factory planned to cut Model Y production by at least 20 percent between March and June.

It’s unclear whether the production cuts will extend into the second half of this year or the Model 3, and whether Tesla’s factories in the US and Germany are taking similar production cuts, the report noted.

BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) vehicles saw 53,400 insurance registrations in China last week, down 2.91 percent from 55,000 the week before.
