CPCA identifies three core drivers of strong June new-energy passenger-vehicle
growth. First, sustained high retail fuel prices—tightened by Strait of Hormuz
shipping disruption—pushed running costs for internal-combustion cars sharply
higher, accelerating consumer switching to NEVs and creating rigid demand
support. Second, OEMs accelerated ICE-to-NEV production shifts and released
capacity, lifting wholesale volumes MoM by over 10% in June and speeding the
supply-side response. Third, elevated international oil prices triggered a surge
in overseas demand for low-energy, high-value NEVs; Chinese domestic brands’
mature electrification and cost advantages are substituting for ICEs abroad,
expanding exports and reinforcing domestic production and sales.
