Firefly, the premium compact electric vehicle brand under Nio Inc, said on Friday it has reached 30,000 cumulative deliveries, seven months after launching its first and only model, the Firefly EV. The announcement was made at the opening of the 2025 Guangzhou auto show.
The latest milestone suggests Firefly has delivered 3,758 vehicles so far in November, based on earlier cumulative figures of 26,242 units through October. The brand recorded close to 6,000 deliveries in each of the past two months. Firefly said it aims to accelerate its expansion outside China after beginning deliveries in the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium earlier this year. “We will significantly ramp up our efforts in countries without tariff barriers in the short term,” Firefly president Daniel Jin told Reuters earlier this week, citing Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia as priority markets.
The company plans to add 17 more countries across Europe, America and Southeast Asia, though it did not disclose the specific markets. Firefly officially launched in December 2024 and introduced the Firefly EV in China in April. The brand started European deliveries in August, and Nio said earlier this week that mass production of right-hand-drive models has begun, with Singapore set to receive the first batch.
Jin said Firefly is also in discussions with local distributors in the UK and Thailand as it targets greater presence in right-hand-drive markets that are not subject to heightened duties on Chinese-made electric vehicles.
