Huawei has introduced an unmanned robotic arm for electric vehicle charging, allowing cars to autonomously park and connect to chargers without driver intervention. The Maextro S800 sedan demonstrated this capability, utilizing a 600 kW supercharger that can deliver 100 kWh in just 10 minutes. Mass production of the robotic charger is expected to begin in Q2 2025, with compatibility across various EV brands in Huawei's Supercharging alliance.
Major indexes fell but rebounded on Friday, with leading stocks like Nvidia flashing buy signals. Tesla's Q4 deliveries missed expectations, leading to a sharp stock decline, while BYD outperformed in EV sales. GM and Ford reported strong Q4 sales, with significant growth in EV sales for both companies.
UBS has downgraded XPeng Inc. to "sell" from "neutral," citing that the stock's recent rally is overextended and does not fully account for downside risks. Despite raising the price target to $8.80, analysts believe the current valuation is inflated compared to competitors like Nio and Li Auto. The firm highlights that while XPeng's new models and cost optimizations are promising, these positives are already reflected in the stock price, leaving investors exposed to unpriced risks.
UBS has downgraded XPeng Inc. to "sell" from "neutral," citing that the stock's recent rally is overextended and does not fully account for downside risks. Despite raising the price target to $8.80, analysts believe the current valuation is inflated compared to competitors like Nio and Li Auto. XPeng's stock has surged over 50% since September, driven by strong demand for its new models, but concerns remain regarding valuation and dependency on subsidies.
Chinese automakers BYD, Leapmotor, and Xiaomi have exceeded their annual delivery targets ahead of schedule, reflecting strong market demand. BYD delivered over 504,000 vehicles in November, while Leapmotor and Xiaomi surpassed their targets of 250,000 and 100,000 deliveries, respectively. Other brands like Zeekr and Xpeng also reported significant growth, with Zeekr delivering nearly 195,000 cars this year and Xpeng achieving record deliveries of nearly 31,000 in November.
Plugin vehicles in China achieved a record 53% market share in October, with over 1.19 million sales, marking a 57% year-over-year increase. BYD dominated the market, securing eight of the top ten spots, led by the BYD Song, while Tesla's Model Y ranked sixth. The overall market is projected to approach 50% electrification by year-end, with significant growth in both BEVs and PHEVs.
Qualcomm anticipates $4 billion in PC chip sales by 2029 as it diversifies beyond smartphones, aiming for an additional $22 billion in revenue from new markets. CEO Cristiano Amon highlighted the company"s strategy to leverage existing technologies in sectors like automotive and virtual reality, with a total addressable market of $900 billion. Despite potential losses from Apple ceasing component purchases by 2027, Qualcomm expects growth in automotive and industrial chips to offset this impact.
Zeekr reported a remarkable 92% increase in EV deliveries in October, reaching a record 25,049 vehicles, surpassing its previous high of 21,333 in September. The Geely-backed automaker aims for 230,000 deliveries in 2024, needing over 31,000 in the final two months of the year. Meanwhile, Xpeng also achieved a personal best with 23,917 deliveries, while Li Auto delivered 51,443 cars, slightly below its September record.
Li Auto Inc. reported a strong third-quarter performance, achieving an adjusted net income of 3.9 billion yuan ($541 million), surpassing analysts' expectations of 3 billion yuan. The automaker's cost controls and efficiency measures contributed to this profitability, making it the third new-energy vehicle manufacturer to reach this milestone after Tesla and BYD.
PHEV sales in China are surging, driven by advanced models from BYD and favorable economic conditions, including lower electricity prices and incentives for electric use. In contrast, European company car benefits and high fossil fuel subsidies limit the appeal of home charging, impacting PHEV adoption. As competition grows globally, the market dynamics may shift, with potential implications for electrified vehicle strategies in other regions.
