Nio Sales
Nio reported August deliveries of 5,880, up 48% vs. a year earlier but down 26% from 7,931 in July. Nio cited record new orders but blamed supply-chain issues, almost certainly including chips, for hampering production. It cut its Q3 delivery target to 22,500-23,500 from 23,000-25,000. Fellow EV startup
Xpeng (
XPEV) delivered 7,214 EVs, mostly its P7 sedan, up 172% vs. a year earlier. That's down 10% from 8,040 in July. Xpeng will begin deliveries of its smaller P5 sedan, first production car with Lidar, in October.
