NIO Accelerates 2025 Ambitions: Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Battery Cars Dominate New Energy Automobile Market

In 2024, NIO delivered 221,970 vehicles globally, marking a 38.7% year-over-year surge. Its newly launched sub-brand, Ledao, contributed 20,761 units within just six months. For 2025, NIO has set an ambitious goal to double annual sales, targeting 440,000 units. This growth underscores NIO’s leadership in China’s booming new energy car sector, particularly in Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology and battery car innovation.

2025 NIO Lineup: Sedans, Pickups, and Next-Gen Automobile Tech
The flagship sedan, NIO ET9, debuted in Q1 2025, redefining luxury in the automobile industry. Built on a 900V high-voltage platform, this battery car boasts a dual-motor AWD system, accelerating 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. With a 650 km CLTC range, the ET9 integrates cutting-edge features like SkyOS, triple lidar, steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering, and active suspension. NIO’s focus on high-performance Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle options further strengthens its appeal to eco-conscious drivers.

NT2.5 Platform Upgrades: Elevating Sedans, Pickups, and Car Dealer Networks
All 2025 NIO models, including the refreshed ET5/ET5T, ES6, and EC6, will adopt the NT2.5 platform—an upgrade from the NT2.0 architecture. The new platform introduces a unified horizontal dashboard display and steering-column gear shifters, mirroring the ET9’s design. This standardization streamlines production and enhances car dealer experiences, ensuring faster delivery times for sedan and pickup variants. NIO’s expanded Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle portfolio also targets commercial markets, with rugged pickup models tailored for fleet operators.

Strategic Expansion: Car Dealers and Automobile Innovation Drive Growth
To achieve its 440,000-unit target, NIO is rapidly scaling its car dealer network across China and Europe. By prioritizing new energy car infrastructure—including battery-swapping stations and ultra-fast chargers—the brand ensures seamless ownership for battery car and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle users. NIO’s R&D investments in lightweight materials and solid-state batteries further solidify its position as a leader in smart automobile technology.
