Just weeks after debuting the NIO ET7 electric sedan, NIO has officially broken a record for the most sales it has achieved in a single month.
NIO set a new monthly sales record in November, delivering a total of 10,878 units for a 105.6 percent year-over-year increase, according to a press release.
The deliveries show a rebound from October, when only 3,667 deliveries occured, “significantly impacted by reduction in production volume as a result of the restructuring and upgrades of manufacturing lines and the preparation of new products,” said NIO at the time.
In the same month, NIO says it sold 2,683 ES8 electric SUV units, 4,713 of the ES6 electric SUV and 3,482 of the EC6 electric sedan units.
The news comes just months after NIO and other Chinese automakers saw delivery surges in September, before NIO’s sales took a dip in sales in October amidst shifting company goals and a short break in production.
NIO delivered 10,878 vehicles in November 2021, a new monthly record. 2,683 ES8s, 4,713 ES6s, and 3,482 EC6s. This is the best monthly performance so far for the EC6. YoY growth of 120.4%. NIO has delivered 156,581 vehicles to date. Read more: https://t.co/RUFrASTSMg pic.twitter.com/jTVlkcTThx
