Investment suggestion: the overall production and sales of new energy vehicles will increase significantly from January to March 2022. Although in April, affected by the epidemic, some car companies stopped production or reduced production, which will inevitably affect the production and sales of new energy vehicles, we believe that vehicle electrification is still the general trend. The epidemic only delays its process to a certain extent, and we are still optimistic about the long-term development of the new energy vehicle industry chain. It's highly recommended to focus on: 's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) 35.
Risk tip: the production and sales of new energy vehicles are less than expected, and the price of raw materials fluctuates sharply, which will affect the demand of the industry, the risk of epidemic and other emergencies.
