NIO's sales in October increased by 60% year-on-year, but there are news of layoffs

According to news on November 4, NIO achieved significant sales growth in October, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 60%, with a total of 16,074 vehicles sold. However, there has been news of layoffs recently. Weilai plans to lay off about 10% of its employees. Despite the strong sales performance, there are still a series of challenges behind this decision, including pressure from competitors and the impact of price wars on profitability. In addition, Chinese consumers are increasingly turning to plug-in hybrid vehicles, with sales in this market growing by as much as 84.5%. To address this challenge, NIO is taking steps to improve efficiency and reduce costs, including postponing or cutting long-term investment projects.

According to the editor’s understanding, NIO and Li Auto have different market positionings. NIO has always adhered to the high-end route and targeted high-end consumer groups. Li Auto, which competes with it, seems to have a better understanding of the needs of the Chinese market and has even successfully entered the US market. Although both companies face their own challenges, the future direction of NIO is currently unclear
