Chinese EV Leaders Surge: Nio, Li Auto, and XPeng Triumph
China's Electric Vehicle Giants Soar in Delivery Numbers
In an exciting revelation from the electric vehicle (EV) landscape, three prominent players—Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO), Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: LI), and XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV)—have achieved record-breaking delivery figures recently. These outstanding results come amid intensifying competition and increasing consumer demand.
Nio Inc.: A Record-Breaking Month
Nio has made its mark with 40,397 vehicles delivered in a single month, setting a new company record and reflecting a significant year-over-year growth of 92.6%. This record includes deliveries from its premium Nio brand, the ONVO family lineup, and the FIREFLY small high-end segment.
Cumulative vehicle deliveries now stand at an impressive 913,182 units as of October 31. The ONVO L90, in particular, has become a bestseller, consistently topping 10,000 units for three consecutive months, appealing to buyers seeking spacious three-row SUVs. Nio's leadership in the fully electric SUV segment is becoming increasingly evident.
Li Auto Inc.: Expanding Internationally
Li Auto's performance is equally impressive, reporting 31,767 deliveries in October and pushing total lifetime deliveries to 1,462,788 vehicles. The demand for the newly launched Li i6 has surpassed expectations, with over 70,000 orders received, prompting the company to accelerate its production to address the backlog.
Li Auto is also expanding its geographical footprint, having opened its first authorized store in a new market. Plans are in place to inaugurate additional stores in Kazakhstan soon. The company's focus on growth in regions such as Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific is a testament to its ambitions.
As of late October, Li Auto had established a robust infrastructure with 551 retail locations, 554 service facilities, and over 3,500 fast-charging stations across China.
XPeng Inc.: Consistently Setting New Records
XPeng has also joined the ranks of record performers, logging 42,013 deliveries in October, which marks a remarkable 76% increase from the previous year. This achievement represents the second consecutive month in which XPeng exceeded the 40,000 mark in deliveries, showcasing a total of 355,209 units delivered in the first ten months of the year.
The company is rapidly expanding its global presence, having entered several new markets across Europe, Asia, and Africa, including Lithuania, Estonia, Morocco, and Qatar. XPeng has also reported significant adoption of its cutting-edge driver-assistance system, XNGP, which has seen substantial use in urban settings.
On November 5, XPeng plans to host its annual AI Day in Guangzhou, where executives will present advancements in 'Physical AI', robotaxi development, and various other innovative technology initiatives.
Stock performances for these companies indicate strong investor interest, with NIO's shares increasing over 42% in the last year, while XPeng saw a remarkable gain of over 103% during the same period. Investors looking to diversify their portfolios can consider various ETFs that include these stocks, such as the Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ: PGJ) and Carbon Collective Climate Solutions U.S. Equity ETF (NASDAQ: CCSO).

This surge in deliveries and expansion demonstrates how Nio, Li Auto, and XPeng are not just responding to the growing demand for electric vehicles but are also setting new standards in a highly competitive market.
