Electric vehicle manufacturer Nio has achieved a significant milestone with its Firefly model, completing 10,000 delivery transactions. Expansion into the European market with deliveries set to commence shortly.
NIO Inc has delivered its 10,000th Firefly vehicle, marking a significant milestone for the electric vehicle manufacturer. The first Firefly deliveries began on April 29, 2025, and since then, the company has seen a steady increase in production and delivery volumes.
In the past few months, Firefly has delivered 2,157 units, with 231 units in April, 3,680 units in May, and 3,932 units in June. This suggests a strong ramp-up in production and delivery volumes, with delivery wait times reduced to 2–4 weeks by mid-2025, indicating increased production capacity and efficiency.
Regarding the European launch timeline, Nio planned to launch Firefly in Europe between June and August 2025. A 15-day road test had been conducted in Europe prior to the launch, and by the end of 2025, Firefly is expected to enter about 20 overseas markets, including Europe. The right-hand drive versions are anticipated to be ready by October 2025 at the latest.
Looking forward to the end of 2025, while exact forecasted Firefly-specific delivery numbers were not detailed, overall Nio vehicle deliveries are projected to range between 72,000 and 75,000 units in Q2 2025, with a strong growth trajectory. Given Firefly's rapid pace and milestone of 10,000 deliveries by July, total Firefly units delivered by the end of 2025 can reasonably be expected to well exceed 20,000 units, especially considering ongoing production line upgrades and international market expansion.
The Firefly model offers two trims, with starting prices of RMB 119,800 and RMB 125,800, and the BaaS (battery as a service) purchase option for Firefly became available on June 24. Deliveries of Firefly in Europe will begin soon.
