NIO’s Weekly Sales Top 10,000 Again, with ONVO Contributing 45%

NIO’s sales ramp-up continues for a third week above 10,000 units, matched by positive developments on the production side.

Last week (October 27-November 2), NIO’s weekly sales reached 10,100 units, marking the third consecutive week that the company has achieved sales exceeding 10,000 units.

Within this total, the NIO brand contributed over 4,000 units, the ONVO brand accounted for 4,500 units, and the Firefly brand surpassed 1,600 units, demonstrating the significant synergistic effect of the three brands working in concert.

Amidst the sales acceleration, positive reports are also emerging successively from the production side.

On November 1, the 300,000th NIO ES6 officially rolled off the production line, setting a new record for the fastest production milestone for a Chinese brand’s pure electric model priced above 300,000 RMB.

On the same production line, the new ES8 also achieved its 10,000th delivery within 41 days, breaking the speed record for reaching the 10,000-delivery mark among pure electric SUVs priced above 400,000 RMB.

According to Ma Lin, Assistant Vice President of NIO’s Brand and Communications: In November, deliveries of the new ES8 will further accelerate, with production capacity expected to increase by approximately 70% compared to October.

Behind this production ramp-up is a continuous expansion of orders. Official data shows that in October, NIO delivered a total of 40,397 new vehicles, a significant year-on-year increase of 92.6%, setting a new historical record. The share of ES8 within this total rapidly rose to about 25%.

Feedback from the sales channel indicates that the waiting period for the new ES8 currently remains at 4-5 months. The Hefei factory has already initiated 24-hour double-shift operations, targeting to increase ES8 monthly production to 15,000 units by December to meet the backlog of orders.

It is worth noting that the brand’s momentum is simultaneously extending to the international stage.

At the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) that opened on November 5, a fleet of 80 NIO vehicles officially became the designated official reception vehicles. The fleet includes ES8, ES7, ET7, and ONVO L90 models, and will provide “zero-emission” shuttle services for exhibitors during the exhibition period. This marks the first time CIIE has adopted pure electric premium models on a large scale as courtesy vehicles, and it is NIO’s renewed collaboration with the expo since 2021.
