Key investment points:

The price rise is difficult to curb the strong demand, and the sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles is only – 5.9% month on month, showing stronger toughness. In a single month, the company sold 90268 passenger cars in February, up + 336.2% year-on-year and slightly – 5.2% month on month; Among them, the sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles was 87473, with a year-on-year increase of 764.1%, a month on month increase of – 5.9%, and the penetration rate of new energy was 96.9%. From January to February, the cumulative sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles was 180399, a year-on-year increase of 501.5%, and the new energy penetration rate of passenger vehicles was 97.3%, an increase of 49.5pcts compared with the same period last year. On January 21, 2022, Byd Company Limited(002594) automobile officially released the adjustment of the official guidance price of new energy models related to dynasty.com and ocean.com from February 1, with an increase range of 1 Jiangnan Mould & Plastic Technology Co.Ltd(000700) 0 yuan, involving all its new energy models. The sales volume of the company’s new energy passenger vehicles in February was only – 5.9% month on month, showing stronger market toughness than its peers and less affected by the price rise, which is in line with our previous expectations, which fully reflects the company’s strong product power and brand influence. In contrast, the sales volume of new forces in February was generally about – 40% month on month, with Xiaopeng – 51.8%, Weilai – 36.5%, ideal – 31.4% and Nezha – 35.4%.

In February, the sales volume of plug-in hybrid models was – 4.8% month on month. The price of raw materials upstream of the battery soared, amplifying the cost performance advantage of plug-in hybrid models. The sales volume of the company’s new energy vehicles was – 451.73% year-on-year, compared with that of the company’s new energy vehicles in February; There were 44300 DM-I models, with a year-on-year increase of + 1836% and a month on month increase of – 4.8%, which also reflected the strong terminal demand of the company’s hybrid products. As the company’s fourth generation PHEV technology, DMI has outstanding product power and significantly lower price than the previous generation of DM models. Compared with the same level of fuel and hybrid competitive models, DMI has a very high cost performance, and has become the biggest driving force to promote the growth of the company’s automobile sales. In addition, the price of lithium carbonate rose from 53000 yuan / ton at the beginning of 2021 to 275000 tons at the end of 2022, and reached 495000 tons on March 4, 2022. The sharp rise in the price of upstream materials of batteries will put greater pressure on the cost of pure electric vehicles than hybrid models. It is expected that the terminal discount of pure electric vehicles will be narrowed step by step, and the possibility and range of price increase will be greater, The cost performance advantage of hybrid models will be further amplified. In 2022, the company will launch a number of new hybrid models, including Dynasty network models such as Han DM-I and Ocean network models such as destroyer 05, which will promote the continuous and rapid growth of the sales volume of the company’s hybrid products.
