As we all know, not long ago, several new energy vehicle companies were rushing to release sales data for January 2024, and Huawei, Wenjie, and Li Auto once again became the biggest winners.
The following is Huawei's Wenjie, with sales reaching 33,000 units, a great increase in year-on-year and month-on-month sales, which is also the best performance in the history of Wenjie. Then there was Li Auto, which sold 31,000 units, up 106% from the same period last year, but down slightly from the same period last year.
Judging from the sales data of other brands, both Wenjie and Ideal are leading.
If the sales volume of Ideal this year is 800,000 and the sales volume of Wenjie is 600,000, then we can draw a conclusion that Ideal and Wenjie will maintain a leading position for a period of time in the future.
M5, M7, M9, L9, L8, L7 are all on sale, and L6 is also on sale.
So, what does it mean for Li Auto and Wenjie to sell well? In my opinion, it's actually quite interesting, it's called "backward technology", the victory over "advanced technology".
The so-called "old" refers to "new energy vehicles" and "new energy vehicles".
When Ideal first launched the extended range version, many people scolded it, saying that this car was too old and nonsense.
Technically, this is a hybrid system, consisting of a fuel tank, an engine, and a motor, and this engine and a fuel tank can provide energy for the "power bank", which is then powered by the electric motor, which is a very simple system.
Other car manufacturers will focus on "series-parallel" models, the advantages of this car are fuel-efficient, fuel-efficient, fuel-efficient, and the structure is more complex, which can be pure electric, direct drive, series connection, etc.
Everyone felt that this engine would soon be phased out and could only be plug-in hybrid, not plug-in hybrid. 
But in the end, everyone's high-tech is not as good as an old one, whether it is a person who understands a car or a person who has bought a car, they are full of praise for the new car.
For consumers, the extended-range car can be fuel or electricity, there is no need to worry about the range, and their acceptance is very high, and there is a refrigerator, a large colored sofa, which is an irresistible consumer demand.
In this regard, Ideal and Huawei have their own advantages, so the sales of Ideal and Wenjie will get better and better, and pure electric vehicles and other hybrid models cannot be compared with them at all.
This shows that there is no advanced technology, there is no backward technology, and there are only the needs of users. However, the sales of range extenders do not mean that the future will be very good, range extenders are only a transitional product, but whether it is for car manufacturers or consumers, it is the best choice.
