This week, ESS battery cell prices remained largely stable. The main reason was the rise in prices of key materials such as graphite anode material and SBR, leading to a slight increase in ESS battery cell costs in the short term, though the growth was limited. According to SMM calculations, as of last Friday, the theoretical cost of a 280Ah battery cell was 0.298 yuan/Wh, while that of a 314Ah battery cell was 0.2823 yuan/Wh. Looking ahead, ESS battery cell market demand is expected to gradually recover by late Q1 to early Q2. However, due to the relatively small fluctuation in battery cell costs and the completion of the capacity transition for 314Ah ESS battery cells, product supply is sufficient, and mainstream 314Ah battery cell prices are expected to remain largely stable. Meanwhile, 280Ah and 100Ah battery cells may face a risk of slight price increases in the short term due to tight supply, as low-cost inventory from earlier periods has been depleted.

In January, national passenger car producers' new energy wholesale estimates reached 900,000 units, up 1% YoY.

According to the latest data from the Passenger Car Association, in December 2025, producers with new energy wholesale sales exceeding 10,000 units accounted for 93% of the total wholesale sales of passenger NEVs that month. Based on preliminary January data, these producers achieved sales of 830,000 units in January. As most producers have already locked in their major sales figures, by applying the structural proportion from the previous month to the current month's data, the estimated wholesale sales of passenger NEVs nationwide in January were 900,000 units. According to comprehensive preliminary monthly association data: the estimated wholesale sales of NEVs by national passenger car producers in January 2026 were 900,000 units, up 1% YoY.
