Reasons for consumers to choose NEVs
Domestic consumers' demand when choosing NEVs is primarily around "core performance + cost-driven“. Meanwhile, as consumers are having more and more clear understanding about their own vehicle usage scenarios and practical needs, blindly following the trend is no longer the norm, rational, individualized, and need-based purchasing is gradually becoming the standard. Therefore it’s shifting automaker’s competing landscape from merely on specifications and marketing activities towards a better fit to real usage scenarios.
Key Focus Areas for NEV Improvement

Domestic consumers’ needs for NEVs are also becoming increasingly diversified. It’s been shifting from a "means of transportation" to a "smart mobile living space“, with core demands being comfort, intelligence, and safety, while the traditional performance metrics have been stepped back to a secondary position.
