Q3 Guidance and Future Models

It also forecasts Total Revenues between RMB 8.91 billion and RMB 9.631 billion – an increase of approximately 96.9% to 112.8% compared to Q3 2020.

William Bin Li, its founder, chairman and CEO acknowledged the global supply chain uncertainties but commented that "we have been working closely with our partners to improve the overall supply chain production capacity"

He also announced that the company aims to deliver three new models in 2022 including the ET7 premium smart electric sedan.

European Entry

During the reported period, NIO ES8 smart electric flagship SUV obtained European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA), for mass production and license plate registration in all EU countries.

This gave the Shanghai-based firm the ability to move forward with its plan to step overseas, as announced in the May "NIO Norway Press Conference", with the first batch of ES8s for user delivery having beeen shipped from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port to Norway last month.

Stock Reaction

NIO.us had registered a more than 36% rise during the second quarter, but July ended with losses below $45.00. Despite Wednesday's strong quarterly report, NIO.us dropped on Thursday and registered a more than 6% decline last week (August 9-13), closing just above $40.00 on Friday.
