In 2021-25E, we project NEV sales volume to increase from 1.37mn units in 2020 to 6.21mn units in 2025E at a CAGR of 34.2%. We also expect NEV sales penetration rate to expand from 5.4% in 2020 to 20% in 2025E. We think there are solid fundamentals to support NEV’s extraordinary growth path in China. At the micro level, we observe significantly increasing consumer recognition of NEV, with evidences of NEV consumption upgrade towards mainstream B/C class vehicle models. Evolving NEV technologies, such as improving mile range as well as increasing smartness has boosted consumer demand for better user experiences. At the macro level, we also see strong government policy supports to sustain NEV market’s long-term growth. Chinese government had laid out NEV development plans for 2021-2035, and non-monetary policy tools will replace subsidy-driven stimulus from 2023E. With respect to China’s passenger vehicle sales market overall, we expect sales to resume growth track after consecutive declines in 2018-20 due to various reasons. We expect passenger vehicles to achieve a high growth rate of 12-14% in 2021E on back of stimulus policies, such as “boosting rural auto sales (汽车下乡)”. We also believe luxury cars will gain larger market shares as Chinese consumers have increasing consumption power. We think a new round of automobile demand growth is coming, and NEV is in a perfect position to catch the surging wave. Passenger vehicle (PV) sales to resume growth track China's PV sales declined 4%/9% in 2018/19 respectively. In 2020, due to impacts of COVID-19, PV sales in China read a third year consecutive decline by another 6% to 20.18mn units. Sales decline had squeezed auto manufacturers’ margins, and caused continuous market consolidation. To boost PV sales, China State Council re-initiated “boosting rural auto sales” in Dec 2020. We think the stimulus policy will encourage demand from first time buyers in rural areas, which will likely support PV models targeting mass market. We expect leading auto manufacturers’ operating leverage will improve steadily as sales volume increases. Thanks to stable sales and policy support, we expect China PV sales to resume growth track with a double digit growth rate of 12-14% in 2021E. We believe 2021 is a milestone year for a new PV growth cycle.

The number of cars per 1,000 people in China was estimated to be about 190 by 2020E, which is still significantly behind the level of 400-600 cars in Japan and South Korea according to the World Bank’s statistics. We expect China resident’s disposable income will expand with continuous economic growth, and that will drive up automobile consumption for personal transportation demand in medium-long term. Luxury cars are gaining market share In contrast to overall PV sales trend, the sales volume of luxury vehicle (priced above RMB 300k) in China was 3.24mn units in 2020, a growth of 6.5% YoY, according to CADA. The broad sense of luxury vehicle (including Tesla, NIO and LI) recorded total sales volume of 3.46mn units, up 11.4% YoY. The market shares of luxury brands continued to rise from 10.7% in 2019 to 13.1% in 2020. We expect the share gain of luxury brands will continue as Chinese consumers have increasing purchasing power with steady economy growth at mid-to-high speed. Within the luxury segment, BBA (BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Audi) has occupied about 70% market shares. Tier 1 and tier 2 cities accounted for the majority of luxury car sales with YoY growth pace of 12%/9% respectively, while tier 3 and tier 4 cities also read considerable sales growth at 9%/8% respectively in 2020.

    LE 17H00 26/11/2020 ATHLON FRANCE TRAVAILLE AU DÉPLOIEMENT D’UNE OFFRE DE MOBILITÉ Opérationnelle aux Pays-Bas, l’offre Athlon Flex, anciennement ChangeMyCar, sera testée en France en 2021 auprès d’un client pilote. « Athlon International avait conclu après une longue étude que les conducteurs avaient besoin de beaucoup plus de flexibilité, de pouvoir changer de voiture beaucoup plus souvent, alors que les contrats de LLD courent généralement sur trois ou quatre ans et bloquent tout changement sur cette période. Or il se trouve que la vie des conducteurs peut changer, ils peuvent par exemple avoir des enfants et avoir donc avoir besoin d’un véhicule plus grand », explique Gérard de Chalonge, directeur commercial et marketing d’Athlon France. L’idée centrale d’Athlon Flex est que les employés choisissent et modifient les solutions qui correspondent à leurs besoins de mobilité changeants. Un jeune diplômé qui commence tout juste son premier emploi peut combiner une voiture, un vélo et les transports en commun. Les employés peuvent conduire à une voiture électrique au quotidien tout en conservant la flexibilité nécessaire pour revenir à une voiture thermique pour les vacances. Les jeunes familles peuvent quant à elle passer à une voiture familiale pour s’adapter à leurs enfants. Il s’agit en quelque sorte d’un budget mobilité dernière génération qui repose sur une application mobile. La prochaine étape sera un déploiement sur le marché français. Gérard de Chalonge précise que l’offre sera testée en 2021 auprès d’un client pilote, l’objectif étant « d’adapter le dispositif à notre culture, au contexte et aux besoins locaux car la maturité des Pays-Bas sur les questions de mobilité est plus avancée que la nôtre ».

The monthly penetration of electric vehicles in Germany jumped from 7% to 20% in half a year and is expected to hit 12% in 2020, up 220% year on year; Norway reported an 80% market share of EVs in November, which is projected to exceed 70% for the whole year, topping the global ranking. Multiple consultancy firms foresee a comeback of global sales growth and a continuance of NEV boom in 2021 as coronavirus eases. 2. China's auto market as a whole is expected to remain stable in 2021, 1 with a strong boost in NEV sales. In 2020, China spearheaded global NEV market growth with record sales of 1.367 million units.

By way of comparison, the S&P 500 was up approximately 0.6% while the Russell 2000 was up approximately 0.7%.

As always, investors will receive the fund’s exact performance figures from its outside administrator within a week or two; meanwhile I continue to waive the annual management fee until the entire fund regains its high- water mark. The fund was absolutely massacred this month, and it was primarily due to our large short position in Tesla, to which I added on each new piece of negative news, much of which was indicative of the kind of outright fraud (see below) that would immediately send a “normal stock” into a death spiral, and yet for most of the month Tesla’s stock kept levitating.
