Nio has reached the milestone of delivering its 30,000th third-generation ES8, about three months after the large electric SUV's launch.

The Onvo L60 Violet Edition starts at RMB 214,900 ($30,520) including the battery pack, 3.87 percent higher than the base version.

CATL will prioritize supplying Voyah with cutting-edge battery technologies and deploy production capacity near the EV maker's manufacturing facilities.

The move expands Li Auto's overseas footprint to four markets, including Uzbekistan.

The updated SU7 is said to see a price increase of RMB 20,000 ($2,840), positioning it to compete with the Tesla Model 3 at nearly identical pricing.

Starting December 22, newly produced ES8 cars will utilize a new temporary solution for the rear-seat entertainment chip to ensure deliveries.

This marks one of Nio Inc's intensively launched new limited-edition models, aimed at expanding marketing reach at lower costs and boosting brand visibility.

The Tang L, rebranded as the BYD Atto 8, has been launched in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar, with upcoming launches in the UAE and Bahrain.

Nio rolled out new limited editions for the ET5 and ET5 Touring featuring an exclusive purple exterior package, limited to 555 units.

Li Auto has secured L3 autonomous driving road test permits in Beijing, its headquarters city, and has been conducting regular road tests.
