In comparison with February 2024, NIO’s February 2025 gross sales rose 62.2%. In whole, 13,192 autos have been delivered, versus 8,132 in February 2024.

Extrapolating 13,192 gross sales throughout 12 months, that may be an annual price of 158,304 gross sales for the Chinese language sensible EV firm. Nevertheless, February is a really sluggish month for the Chinese language auto market, so count on a lot greater gross sales figures because the yr progresses.

NIO additionally offered some stats on different features of its enterprise. Highlighting the large quantity of journey across the Chinese language New 12 months vacation, NIO famous that it offered greater than 1.7 million battery swaps from January 22 to February 5, 2025! At its busiest station, it carried out as many as 180 swaps per day.

Exhibiting simply how well-liked battery swapping is, the corporate proclaimed that “over 80% of our users’ energy replenishment on highways was accomplished through power swaps.” Additionally, “over 21,000 flexible battery upgrades were provided, further enhancing the long-distance travel experience.”

It appears to me that NIO nailed it with this selection, however I assume the jury is out to a point till NIO turns into worthwhile.
