After not having great sales growth — or any — in recent months, NIO finally bucked that trend and got its sales to spike in August.
NIO delivered 31,305 vehicles in August 2025, up 55.2% over August 2024. Across the first 8 months of the year, NIO had 166,472 vehicle deliveries, which is a 30% increase year over year.
Interestingly, the company experienced a notable crossover in August. The new “family-oriented” ONVO brand scored more sales than the original NIO brand — 16,434 deliveries versus 10,525 deliveries, respectively. Furthermore, another 4,346 vehicles were delivered from the FIREFLY brand, which is made up of small but high-end electric cars and is even newer than the ONVO brand.
Since the company launched, it has sold 838,036 vehicles. One million is still several months off, but one can see it on the horizon now!
