The shooting brake variant of the Nio ET5 will debut in Europe, where there is a large market for the model, according to Qin Lihong.

The agreement involves technical cooperation for new brands, projects and markets, as well as overseas business expansion, CATL said.

In the second week of January, China's NEV sales, as measured by insurance registrations, were 99,000 units, up 37.51 percent year-on-year and up 28.61 percent from the previous week.

From January 13 to February 5, all of Nio's battery swap stations along highways are open to vehicle owners for free and unlimited use.

The new EC6 could be the equivalent of a trimmed-down and thus more affordable version of the EC7, but the model could be still a long way off from an official launch, according to a well-known auto blogger.

The EC7, like the new ES8 and the new ES6, includes CALB in addition to CATL as a battery supplier.

It's worth noting that the new ES6's battery supplier includes CALB, in addition to CATL.

All models on the list except the ET5 and ET7 are traditional fuel models, with the BMW 3 Series coming in at No. 1 with 18,533 units.

Nio vehicles registered 2,818 insurance units in China last week, including 1,794 ET5s.

From January 2 to January 8, China NEV insurance registrations were 77,000 units, down from 163,700 units the previous week.
