Nio’s sub-brand Onvo registered 1,900 units in China in the third week of the year, data shared by Li Auto showed on Tuesday.
The family-oriented brand, set to launch two new SUV models this year, saw registrations increase by 100 units week over week but remained below the levels recorded at the start of 2025, when registrations totaled 2,300 units.
January car sales are expected to decline from December levels, reflecting the typical year-end sales surge and lower production during the eight-day Spring Festival holiday in China which will take place from January 28 to February 4.
In December, Onvo delivered 10,528 units fulfilling its promise of delivering over 10,000 units for the first time. The management aims now to double its monthly figures to 20,000 units in March.
Deliveries began last September, with the brand adding a new battery supplier in early December to tackle supply disruption that limited deliveries in both October and November.
Nio group deliveries increased 38.7% in 2024 to 221,970 vehicles. This year, the EV maker aims to double its sales numbers mainly driven by its sub-brands Onvo and Firefly.
In a Q&A shared on its official app last weekend, Nio’s sub-brand, which has over 1,000 Onvo-compatible battery swap stations in China, addmitted that “some stations may not yet have full battery reserves.”
Onvo said it “aims to replenish available batteries extensively before the Lunar New Year” — which starts on January 29.
