NIO has shared its unaudited Q2 financial results for 2024, which detailed record-high EV deliveries that helped the automaker snag an even larger portion of the overall market in China. NIO also surpassed the expectations of financial gurus on Wall Street with its quarterly earnings.
Time and again, NIO ($NIO) continues to demonstrate why it is one of the significant BEV players in China and the overall global market. The automaker currently sells nine all-electric models in China, many of which have already entered or are entering new markets worldwide, including Europe (despite newly enacted import tariffs) and, soon, the United Arab Emirates.
Additionally, NIO is the worldwide leader in battery swap implementation, eclipsing 50 million total swaps last month while providing hard evidence that the charging alternative is not only viable but also preferred by many EV drivers.
Not to mention the advancement of nascent EV technologies like solid-state batteries and its own line of branded smartphones. NIO is showing no signs of slowing down, and its recent delivery numbers support that notion. The Chinese automaker achieved record delivery numbers this past May, June, and July, hitting the 20,000 mark for three consecutive months.
Now, NIO’s full Q2 2024 report is in and those monthly tallies have contributed to more records as well as continued earnings growth.
