The company&#8217;s sub-brand Firefly, which focuses on compact electric vehicles, announced an early rollout of its battery rental sales model. Originally planned for Aug. 1, the debut of its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) offering comes earlier than expected, likely reflecting efforts to bolster demand and improve sales performance, CnEV Post <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/24/nio-firefly-launches-baas-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Under the new plan, the base model of the Firefly EV will now be offered at RMB79,800 (approximately $11,120), down significantly from the previous price of RMB119,800 with an included battery.
The report adds that this marks a roughly 33% price cut aimed at boosting affordability through battery leasing.
The aggressive pricing update affects multiple trims of the Firefly EV. A higher-tier version has also seen its price slashed from RMB125,800 to RMB85,800, which is a 31.8% drop.
Customers who opt for the BaaS structure will pay a monthly fee of RMB399 for battery usage, separating battery ownership from the vehicle itself.
One of the key benefits Firefly emphasized is the mitigation of depreciation risks tied to battery degradation.
Because consumers do not own the battery, they're shielded from the reduced resale value typically associated with older EVs, CnEV Post adds. Additionally, battery-related maintenance and warranty concerns are covered by the leasing provider, removing another pain point for prospective buyers.
With the early launch of its BaaS model and aggressive price cuts, Firefly aims to strengthen its foothold in the affordable EV segment and respond to mounting sales challenges.

What's Going On With NIO Stock Today?

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) is reportedly moving forward with plans to spin off its semiconductor division into a separate company, a step that could enable the EV maker to supply chips to other automotive firms, CnEVPost <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/19/nio-chip-spin-off-to-pave-way-supplying-other-automakers/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing reports from local media.
The new unit will become an independent entity as part of the company&#8217;s broader strategy to diversify operations and build a standalone business model in the chip sector.
A recent spin-off report indicates the new chip-focused venture will now accept orders from external clients.

The move reflects NIO&#8217;s ambition to tap into the growing demand for automotive semiconductors and position itself as a competitive supplier.
The newly established company, called Anhui Shengji Technology Co. Ltd., was formally registered on June 17, the report further adds.
Bai Jian, Vice President at NIO, is listed as the legal representative. With a registered capital of RMB 10 million (approximately $1.39 million), the firm will focus on chip design, distribution, and related services, according to filings from the Chinese corporate database Tianyancha.
NIO reportedly intends to maintain control of the new venture while bringing in select strategic investors, per CnEV Post.
The chip division, which currently functions as an internal unit, will now transition to an independent structure with the autonomy to collaborate with outside clients.
The spin-off news arrives as NIO accelerates its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45981160/nio-shifts-gears-in-europe-adopts-distributor-sales-for-wider-reach" rel="noreferrer noopener">expansion into European markets</a>.
The automaker is adopting a distributor-led approach to enter Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, and Bulgaria while deepening its existing presence in Denmark. These efforts are part of a strategy to scale its global reach and boost brand visibility.
Reflecting a more favorable outlook, Goldman Sachs analyst Tina Hou recently upgraded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NIO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">NIO&#8217;s stock from Sell to Neutral</a>.
Meanwhile, the company has emphasized its commitment to supplier relations by speeding up payment cycles, a move it says <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/45888676/chinese-automakers-unite-nio-becomes-latest-to-promise-faster-payments" rel="noreferrer noopener">will help ensure consistent product quality and user satisfaction</a>.

8 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Chinese EV manufacturer NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) is reportedly extending its European footprint with a new distributor-based sales strategy, aiming to enter five more markets between 2025 and 2026.
NIO will expand into Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, and Bulgaria while strengthening its presence in Denmark, where it already operates, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/17/nio-expands-into-more-european-countries/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The news coincides with Goldman Sachs analyst Tina Hou upgrading NIO&#8217;s rating from Sell to Neutral, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NIO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reflecting a more optimistic outlook</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/45888676/chinese-automakers-unite-nio-becomes-latest-to-promise-faster-payments" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese Automakers Unite, NIO Becomes Latest To Promise Faster Payments</a>
NIO plans to introduce five vehicles in the upcoming markets. These include the EL6 (formerly known as ES6), EL8 (previously ES8), the ET5 sedan, the ET5 Touring (ET5T), and the debut model from its new sub-brand, Firefly.
This rollout is designed to serve both mass-market and premium EV segments in Europe, CnEV Post adds.
Moving away from its direct-to-consumer approach, NIO will now rely on regional distribution partners.
In Denmark, it has partnered with the Nic Christiansen Group, a well-known mobility provider in the Nordic region. Vehicle deliveries under this new arrangement are scheduled for 2025.
In Portugal, NIO will work with the JAP Group, a veteran firm in the European automotive sector with more than 120 years of experience.
NIO previously entered the Danish market with its ET7 sedan in late 2022, using a direct sales model.
The transition to distributor-led sales marks a shift toward greater scalability and better localization as NIO adapts its approach to meet diverse European consumer expectations.
Despite broader EV market headwinds and share price volatility, NIO continues to pursue international growth.
Its focus on building strategic partnerships indicates a more adaptive and region-specific strategy to unlock opportunities in Europe&#8217;s competitive EV landscape.
According to&nbsp;Benzinga Pro, NIO stock has lost over 21% in the past year.
Price Action: NIO shares are trading lower by 1.7% to $3.47 at last check Tuesday.

In an announcement making a significant push into the European market, XPeng has rolled out redesigned versions of its G6 and G9 electric SUVs in Europe, showcasing significant improvements in design, technology, and performance. 
The announcement was made in Amsterdam on June 12, 2025, as part of the company&#8217;s ongoing expansion strategy.
These next-generation electric vehicles come equipped with advanced hardware and aesthetic improvements, offering European drivers faster charging capabilities, intelligent features, and bold new styling. 
The G6 and G9 now run on XPeng&#8217;s proprietary 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform, paired with upgraded 5C lithium iron phosphate batteries.
With this launch, XPeng aims to deepen its presence in Europe, offering a strong alternative to legacy automakers and emerging EV brands. 
Customers in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and France can register interest ahead of mid-July order availability. A display of the new G6 is currently live at Le Mans Village in France.
Alongside its vehicle announcements, XPeng is also taking significant steps to expand its charging infrastructure. The company and BP Pulse marked a key milestone in their January partnership by launching their first jointly developed EV charging station in Guangzhou, featuring 30 stations, 50 charging guns, and a peak capacity of 480 kW, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/13/xpeng-bp-pulse-open-first-joint-charging-station/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The automaker said its priority remains delivering a premium user experience while embracing technological leadership and operational transparency.
The Chinese EV firm, alongside Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), announced that it would honor invoice payments within 60 days or less, a step aligned with efforts by regulators to stabilize the country&#8217;s automotive ecosystem, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/11/nio-xpeng-li-auto-pledging-pay-suppliers-60-days/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
This move mirrors commitments made earlier by several prominent players in the Chinese auto market.
Companies such as BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely Auto, Xiaomi EV, Leapmotor, and Chery have already pledged to adopt more transparent and timely payment practices, the report adds.
So far, nearly 15 automakers have publicly joined the initiative.
Mounting concerns over extended payment cycles to suppliers have drawn criticism in recent years, especially amid intensified pricing battles across China&#8217;s EV sector.
Delayed payments have posed risks to smaller component makers, potentially straining supply chain security and sustainability.

Chinese Automakers Unite, NIO Becomes Latest To Promise Faster Payments

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets closed higher this week, buoyed by a stronger-than-expected May jobs report. The economy added 139,000 jobs, surpassing forecasts and easing recession fears. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.2%. The Russell 2000 outperformed with a 3.2% increase, reflecting optimism in domestic small-cap stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.51%, as investors moved away from bonds amid improving economic sentiment.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced significant volatility due to the public feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. After Musk criticized Trump's spending policies, Tesla's stock plunged 14%, erasing $150 billion in market value. However, the stock rebounded 3.7% on Friday as tensions appeared to ease. Despite the rebound, Tesla remains down 27% for the year. investopedia.com
Trump celebrated the strong jobs data but renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, citing concerns over borrowing costs. The Fed has maintained current rates, citing inflation concerns tied to trade policies. Meanwhile, upcoming U.S.-China trade talks in London are anticipated, with investors hopeful for progress that could further stabilize markets.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Looking At NIO's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) will cut its spending by over 25% to meet the Q4 break-even target as the company gears up to expand into Europe.
What Happened: "We have majorly merged the R&amp;D resources of the NIO brand, Amo brand, and the Fly brand to further improve the overall efficiency of our R&amp;D activities," company CEO William Li said at Nio's earnings call with Investors on Tuesday.
He then went on to say that the company's efforts to improve efficiency by consolidating teams, as well as roles, will result in "much tighter control over spending."
"In Q4, as we also have the breakeven target, we aim to control our R&amp;D expenses to be within 2 to 2.5 billion Yuan (about $278 &#8211; $347 million) per quarter. That represents a 20 to 25% year-over-year decrease from last year." Li said.
The CEO also touched upon Nio's global plans. "In international expansion, NIO has partnered with more than 10 local partners in over 15 core markets worldwide," before adding that the company will introduce the Firefly EV by Q3 in "various markets" throughout the globe.
Why It Matters: Nio reported a 40.1% YoY increase in deliveries at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45745834/nio-stock-drops-after-q1-results-and-outlook-disappoints-the-street-margins-shrink">the earnings call</a>, delivering 23,900 vehicles in April 2025 and 23,231 vehicles in May 2025. However, the automaker reported a 38.9% decline in revenue.
The company also reported a 13.1% increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45717955/chinas-nio-clocks-13-deliveries-growth-in-may-tesla-lags">monthly deliveries for May</a>, including 13,270 vehicles from Nio as well as deliveries from subsidiaries Onvo and Firefly.
The Firefly EV, which was supposed to launch earlier, has been delayed by the company and Nio is also said to be developing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44915240/tesla-rival-nio-delays-the-european-launch-of-firefly-ev-report">right-hand drive variants</a> of the car for the UK and SEA.
Price Action: NIO gained 2.27% in Pre-market and is currently trading on the NYSE at $3.61, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.
