NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles in May 2021, representing a solid 95.3% year-over-year growth.

As of May 31, 2021, cumulative deliveries of the ES8, ES6 and EC6 reached 109,514 vehicles.

In May, the Company's vehicle delivery was adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments. Based on the current production and delivery plan, the Company will be able to accelerate the delivery in June to make up for the delays from May. The company maintains and reiterates the delivery guidance of 21,000 to 22,000 vehicles in the second quarter of 2021.
