On May 19, deliveries of the 2023 Nio ET7 began in several cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Hefei, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Changsha.

Show cars of the new ES6 are already available at Nio stores, and those interested can visit Nio Houses to check out the model, Nio said.

The pack is based on Gotion's new L600 LMFP cells with an energy density of 240 Wh/kg and will be in mass production in 2024.

Nio has acquired a 19.9 percent stake in Neo Fusion and Nio Capital has acquired a 10.1 percent stake.

The new ES6 will be Nio's fastest model from official launch to delivery, and the company is marketing the model with unprecedented intensity.

The Firefly is Nio's smaller model project that is expected to debut in Europe in the third quarter of 2024, company executives previously said.

Of the 8,051 orders received on launch day, the average price exceeded RMB 240,000, with 35.9 percent of consumers ordering the model with a range of 200 km, BYD said.

This is BYD's latest move to further expand its market share by launching revamped models to make prices lower, following the launch of the 2023 Han EV, as well as the 2023 Seal.

There have been no discussions between Volkswagen China and other companies about operating system licensing, local media quoted the German carmaker as saying.

The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has risen 66.67 percent in China and 111.11 percent for industrial-grade lithium carbonate since the rally began late last month.
