In comparison, Nio's April deliveries were up 180.7% year-over-year and recovered well above the industry average.

In Nio's announcement, Nio founder Li Bin and CFO Feng Wei attributed April's results to Nio's aggressive resumption of supply chain operations, high reputation for its products and services, expanding sales network, and user community recognition of the power conversion model.

Li Bin said in the April announcement, "In April this year, we achieved the highest monthly delivery of the Nio ES6 since June 2019, and delivery of the new ES8 went well."

"These are the results of the restoration of our capacity and delivery capability. At the same time, we are also seeing strong order growth, which is due to our product strength, excellent customer service, and switching technology that is increasingly receiving recognition from existing and potential customers."

As of May 6, 2020, Nio has opened 105 stores nationwide, including 22 Nio Centers and 83 Nio Houses, with a sales network covering 71 cities nationwide.
