“The automobile industry and the AI industry are grabbing raw materials such as copper and silver. The increase in raw material prices has not yet been transmitted to terminal sales prices. Currently, within the acceptable range, NIO still has some margin to take on this matter.” At the media conference on the 6th, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO, said. Li Bin said that the biggest cost pressure in 2025 is not raw materials, but memory, and the automotive industry needs to grab this component with various industries such as AI, computing power centers, and mobile phones. “In short, the increase in raw material prices and memory prices are putting a lot of cost pressure on the automobile industry, so everyone can consider buying a car earlier.” On the morning of the same day, NIO's 1,000th mass-produced car went offline at NIO Advanced Manufacturing's Xinqiao No. 2 plant in Hefei, Anhui. At the media conference after the event, Li Bin answered questions about NIO's 2025 performance and target completion, 2026 plans, and hot events in the automotive industry. Regarding NIO's 2025 performance, Li Bin said, “There is some gap between the results at the end of 2025 and the goals at the beginning of the year, but overall we have achieved our strategic goals.” According to data disclosed on NIO's official website, sales volume in 2025 was 326,000 units, an increase of 46.9% over the previous year. At the beginning of 2025, Li Bin set an annual target of 440,000 vehicles for NIO.
