Nio (NYSE: NIO) founder, chairman and CEO William Li disclosed at a Friday media briefing — a day after Nio launched the five-seat ES8 on July 9, 2026 — that the ES8 SUV's per-vehicle cost has risen by nearly 20,000 yuan ($2,950) due to surging raw material prices, according to Sina Tech.
Li said Nio is working with supply chain partners to find ways to offset some of the added costs and is striving to keep vehicle prices stable, as rising raw material costs create sustained pressure for China's EV makers.
Li also noted that in May 2026, Nio's sales surpassed Germany's three major luxury brands across 48 cities and regions in China.
