The whole of 2020 saw deliveries top 43,728 compared to 20,565 in 2019.
Despite the positive quarter, NIO CEO William Li warned that a shortage in chips and batteries will force production to slow to 7,500 vehicles per month in Q2 from 10,000 per month.
NIO’s shares have fallen over 7% to $45.85 following the comments.
In a statement accompanying the Q4 results, Li said: “NIO concluded a transformational 2020 with a new quarterly delivery record of 17,353 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2020.
“The strong momentum has continued in 2021 as we achieved a historic monthly delivery of 7,225 vehicles in January and a resilient delivery of 5,578 vehicles in February, representing strong 352% and 689% year-over-year growth, respectively.”
