Based on the search results available, I can provide information about EV registrations in China for week 15 (which appears to cover the period you’re asking about, April 7-13, 2025).
During the second week of April (week 15), several Chinese EV manufacturers saw changes in their registration numbers:
– Nio registered approximately 3,500 vehicles, which represents a 95% increase[1]
– Tesla registered around 5,400 vehicles, showing a 50% increase[1]
– Xpeng registered about 6,700 vehicles[1]
– BYD saw a 20% increase in registrations[1]
These figures represent new vehicle registrations in China, which serve as a useful indicator of sales performance. Tesla’s numbers are particularly interesting when viewed in the context of their Q2 strategy, as they typically allocate Giga Shanghai’s production to exports at the beginning of each quarter before focusing on domestic deliveries later in the quarter[3].
It’s worth noting that Tesla has been facing some challenges in the Chinese market, with wholesale sales dropping 21.8% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025[4]. This has reportedly led to intense pressure on sales staff, who are now working extended hours (13-hour shifts without days off) to boost sales numbers[4].
The broader context shows that China’s NEV (New Energy Vehicle) market is expected to see retail sales of around 900,000 units in April 2025, which would represent a 9% decrease from March[2].
