The weekly sales are published by Li Auto, and although Li does not explicitly say so, they are based on insurance registration data. The figures have been rounded and reflect sales of new energy vehicles (NEV), the Chinese term for BEVs, PHEVs and EREVs (range extenders). To be completely precise, it also includes hydrogen vehicles (FCEVs), but their sales are virtually non-existent in China. Onvo registrations are not published by Li Auto but come from China EV DataTracker.
