Nio EV growth and delivery milestones

Overview

Nio’s order book continued to expand, reaching roughly 294,000 vehicles by mid‑July 2026, with weekly totals of 86,183 in May and 78,636 in June. The surge helped Goldman Sachs upgrade the stock to Buy with a $7 target, and the share price rose about 3 %. In July the company added an export‑focused sales subsidiary in Zhoushan, capitalised at 10 million yuan, to support overseas logistics. The premium brand’s average selling price climbed 14 % to 443,000 yuan, driven by strong ES9 deliveries that hit 10,000 units within a month. Smart assisted‑driving usage hit close to 200 million km in June, with city‑navigation mileage up 65 % after a world‑model update and over 330,000 safety incidents avoided. Product launches included the five‑seat ES8 (July 9) with 102 kWh batteries and BaaS pricing, the Firefly “Halo” design edition (July 20) priced between 119,800‑125,800 yuan, and the Onvo L90 reaching 60,000 deliveries on July 19, reinforcing its lead in the three‑row SUV segment. Shanghai deliveries surpassed 150,000 units, and the third‑generation ES8 hit the 130,000‑unit mark on July 22, confirming Nio’s dominance in the city’s large‑SUV market. Analyst sentiment broadened: Zacks upgraded to “strong buy” and raised EPS forecasts, Sanford C. Bernstein set a $6 target, while Goldman Sachs kept its $7 target. In August, Nio reported a 71 % YoY jump in July deliveries (35,934 vehicles) and announced that cumulative battery‑swap services exceeded 120 million, coinciding with the opening of its 4,000th swap station – the first fifth‑generation site – bringing the network to 4,006 stations nationwide. July 2026 deliveries of 35,934 vehicles included 20,008 Nio brand units, 10,155 Onvo units, and 5,771 Firefly units. The five-seat ES8, launched July 9, accounted for 10,286 units, representing 51.4% of Nio-brand deliveries.
