NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SunCar Technology Group Inc. (“SunCar” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SDA), a leading provider of digitalized enterprise automotive after-sales services and online auto insurance intermediation services in China, announced that it has launched its online insurance solution for customers of Li Auto Inc.’s (Nasdaq: LI) new energy vehicles (NEV). Accessible via the Li Auto car owners’ app, SunCar can offer various online insurance solutions, including H5 on the mobile, so car owners can quickly and conveniently compare and purchase auto insurance and other services.
Mr. YE Zaichang, Chairman and CEO of SunCar commented, “We are very pleased to announce this deal with Li Auto, one of the largest NEV manufacturers in China. Li Auto has delivered over 244,000 cars year-to-date through September 2023 and has recently received new orders for over 40,000 cars per month, representing a highly attractive potential market for our insurance products. SunCar has always been committed to solving substantive problems for customers with industry-leading products and services. Although there are many auto insurance options for drivers, including SunCar’s insurance offerings in the Li Auto app should make it the default choice for all Li Auto customers. We believe that SunCar’s continued cooperation with Li Auto will expand our customer base and begin a new avenue of significant potential growth for the Company.”
SunCar has already achieved the largest market share for after-sales services in the NEV space by utilizing a nationwide service supplier network. China is the largest car ownership market in the world, with an estimated 11% compound annual growth rate (2017-2023E). The Company believes that expanding its auto insurance offerings will grow its business and provide synergies with its existing online automotive services offerings. Auto insurance requires regular renewal, thus creating more return users of SunCar’s online services and a more stable, subscription-based revenue stream in the future.
