2022 was the fastest year of expansion for Nio Houses, with the total number growing to 99 from 38 at the end of 2021.

Zeekr is offering a 140-kWh Qilin Battery option for the single-motor version of the Zeekr 001, but it is limited to just 1,000 units and will cost consumers an additional RMB 103,000.

Xpeng G9 delivered 4,020 units in December, up 160 percent from November, the first time it exceeded 4,000 units.

Zeekr delivered 71,941 vehicles in 2022, reaching its goal of delivering 70,000 vehicles for the year.

Deliveries of Li L9 and Li L8 both exceeded 10,000 units in December. Li Auto delivered 46,319 vehicles in the fourth quarter, up 31.51 percent year-on-year.

The joint venture will focus on the production of several of BYD's best-selling models, including the DM-i super hybrid models, and related parts.

Nio today put 11 new battery swap stations into operation in China, bringing the total to 1,305.

That means Zeekr has delivered about 9,400 units so far this month. Delivery figures for December are expected to be announced on Sunday, January 1.

Tesla's Model S and Model X are both expected to be priced at more than RMB 1 million in China and are expected to make a limited contribution to deliveries.

In addition to the 10 battery swap stations already online, Nio has seven new stations that will soon be operational in Europe.
