NIO (09866) completes delivery of its 130,000th new ES8 car.

On July 22, the 130,000th new car of NIO (09866) ES8 was delivered at the NIO delivery center in Jindong, Jinhua, Zhejiang. The model delivered to the user this time was the ES8 five-seater version. Since its launch in late September 2025, NIO ES8 has achieved the milestone of delivering 130,000 new cars in 305 days. The user of the 130,000th ES8 new car, Mr. Guo, has been a longtime supporter of NIO. He highly appreciates NIO's original design and the energy service system that allows for charging, swapping, and upgrading. As a technology company founder and a father of two children, Mr. Guo has specific needs for his daily transportation. He said, "I have always wanted a larger and more flexible five-seater SUV, and the ES8 five-seater version perfectly meets my needs. Especially when the second-row armrest is folded down, it can accommodate four passengers, satisfying both business and daily use scenarios." When talking about the product experience of the ES8 five-seater version, he particularly praised the spacious interior and the flexible loading experience with separate passenger and cargo space. According to market data, in June, the sales of pure electric three-row SUVs continued to rank first among all energy forms for the tenth consecutive month, surpassing extended-range electric vehicles. In the market for five-seater SUVs, the sales of pure electric products in June nearly tripled compared to April, surpassing extended-range electric vehicles for the first time and consistently surpassing gasoline-powered models. With models like the NIO ES8 five-seater version leading the way, the dominance of pure electric SUVs is rapidly expanding from the three-row market to the five-seater market. At the same time, the overall passenger car market has reached a historic turning point towards pure electric power. In June, retail sales of gasoline, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range electric vehicles all saw significant declines compared to the previous year, with a 31.9% decline in the sales of extended-range electric vehicles. Pure electric power has become the only form of power showing growth. In all submarkets, pure electric power has become consumers' top choice, and the trend of structural evolution in the market is irreversible. According to data from the China Passenger Car Association, from January to June 2026, NIO ES8 has accumulated retail sales of 78,618 units, ranking first in the sales of large SUVs and vehicles in the 400,000 RMB price range for the first half of the year. From January to June this year, the cumulative sales of pure electric three-row SUVs exceeded 185,400 units, ranking first among all power forms, while the sales of extended-range electric three-row SUVs ranked last, only accounting for 60% of pure electric sales. In June 2026, the average transaction price of the NIO brand reached 443,000 RMB, surpassing traditional luxury brands and ranking first among all brands. Currently, the automotive market in Shanxi province is entering a period of brand "clarification," and NIO has successfully established a strong presence among high-end users and secured its position in the ranks of first-line luxury brands with its unique system capabilities and technological innovation. Currently, the ES8 has built a strong product lineup covering high-end five-seater and three-row SUVs, and through an excellent product experience, NIO continues to solidify its dominant position in the high-end pure electric SUV market, leading the way for large SUVs to fully enter the era of pure electric power.
