- The large all-electric SUV is expected to reach the milestone this week as it approaches the first anniversary of deliveries.
- ES8 deliveries totaled 99,948 in the first 8 months, accounting for 62.21% of the main Nio brand's total.
Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) is set to reach 150,000 deliveries of its third-generation ES8 this week, as the large all-electric SUV (sport utility vehicle) approaches the first anniversary of deliveries.
Yang Bo, Nio's head of user operations, announced the upcoming milestone in a Weibo post on Monday, without specifying a delivery date.
The third-generation ES8 went on sale in China on September 20, 2025, with deliveries starting the following day. If completed as planned, the model will reach 150,000 cumulative deliveries within 1 year.
The model reached 140,000 deliveries at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 21. Reaching the new milestone this week would mean the latest 10,000 deliveries took about 1 month.
The ES8 has become a mainstay of Nio's sales. Deliveries across the lineup totaled 11,001 in August, up 6.93% from July and exceeding 10,000 for the second consecutive month, according to China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data compiled by CnEVPost.

At launch, the 5-seat version started at 382,800 yuan ($56,550), including the battery pack, 5.9% below the launch price of the 3-row version.
Under the BaaS (battery as a service) plan, the 5-seat version's launch price started at 274,800 yuan, with battery rental fees charged separately.
The ES8 and the more upscale ES9 together recorded 17,480 deliveries in August, accounting for 82.55% of the main Nio brand's total and underscoring the importance of large all-electric SUVs to its sales.
