China's state planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), is predicting an intensified price war among electric car and plug-in hybrid manufacturers in the country due to issues like oversupply. The NDRC estimates that more than 110 new energy vehicle models will be launched this year, increasing competition. However, the market demand for new energy vehicles is expected to be 2.1 million units, while the top NEV brands plan to deliver 2.3 million units in 2024, indicating oversupply. Falling battery costs and economies of scale will also contribute to price cuts of 5% to 10% in NEVs.
