Key investment points:
The concentration of brands and models continued to improve. Compared with last December, in February 2022, new energy vehicle enterprises Cr5 increased by 7.4pct and CR10 increased by 5.6pct; The new energy model Cr5 increased by 3.8pct and CR10 increased by 6.8pct. We believe that this is related to the impact of the collective price rise of new energy vehicles. Since the beginning of this year, various auto enterprises have successively raised the price of their new energy vehicles to cope with the pressure of rising costs. The increase is generally in the range of 5% – 15%, and the market share of leading auto enterprises has further increased. At present, the delivery cycle of Tesla Model3 and modely is further extended to 20-24 weeks and 10-14 weeks, and the orders on hand continue to grow Byd Company Limited(002594) 2 months, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 87473, with a total of 180574 from January to February, a year-on-year increase of 490.6%. We believe that the collective price increase will be a stress test and reshuffle of the new energy vehicle market, and the market share will be further concentrated to the leading vehicle enterprises.
