#Leapmotor's profit per car is razor-thin, so you'd need to sell around
93 Leapmotor vehicles to match the profit generated by just
one $NIO ES8.

โข Leapmotor (2025)
โข Earns approximately CNยฅ905 profit per vehicle.
โข Average selling price is around CNยฅ103,900.
โข NIO ES8 (Q4 2025)
โข Delivers roughly a 20% gross margin.
โข Starting price of approximately CNยฅ406,800.
โข Estimated gross profit per vehicle: CNยฅ84,000.

In other words, it takes about 93 Leapmotor vehicle sales to generate the same profit as one NIO ES8 sale.

โข Leapmotor: High-volume, low-margin strategy focused on maximizing unit sales.
โข NIO: Premium positioning with significantly higher profit generated from each vehicle sold.

While delivery numbers often dominate headlines, profit per vehicle matters just as much. A company selling fewer vehicles can still create substantial shareholder value if each sale generates meaningful profit.
Based on these figures, a single NIO ES8 contributes roughly the same profit as 93 Leapmotor vehicles, highlighting the power of NIO's premium-margin strategy.
In other words, those numbers don't mean sh๐ฉt
High value profit is what counts
A quick breakdown of NIO's Gen 5 power-swap stations:
Speed: Swapping takes 1 minute and 48 seconds, a 30% improvement, with the entire process completed under 3 minutes.
Capacity: Equipped with 21 to 28 adjustable battery compartments, improving turnover efficiency by approximately 30%.
Daily Peak: Maximum daily capacity exceeds 550 swaps, up about 16%.
Compatibility: Supports models from Firefly up to the NIO ES9, featuring an adaptive wheelbase mechanism.
Sensing: Upgraded station-side perception for precise positioning, significantly reducing fault rates.
Design: Modular integration substantially cuts costs and improves site adaptability.
Large-scale deployment is set to begin in July, with a monthly production capacity of 150 stations.

10 min waiting + 40 min charging at 32 ยฐC = only 380 km real highway range. Queues of Teslas, BMWs and others piling up like gas stations in the 1970s.This is why we need #NIO $nio
Battery #swap in under 3 minutes. One station serves 400+ cars daily!

Last month at Auto China, Robin Zeng, founder of CATL had stopped by the NIO booth to experience the ES9. We said we'd catch up again over tea sometime โ and now, we finally made it happen.๐
It was Robin's first time brewing and enjoying tea in a car, and he said it felt great!
Join us on May 27 for the NIO ES9 Launch Event. Stay tuned!
Let's Power Up! Let's Jiadian!โก

Nio reports Q1 operating profit, marking its second consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability
Nio reported an adjusted operating profit (non-GAAP) of RMB 66.8 million ($9.7 million) for the first quarter of 2026. https://t.co/QlNpr3oBNT ๐
William Li responded to criticisms about its battery swapping stations at a forum, making his stance clear: battery swapping has never been a bleeding point, it's just still in the early investment phase. He calculated that NIO handled nearly 3 billion kWh of electricity last year, and is aiming for 4 billion kWh this year; with 5 million vehicles in the future, that would be 20 billion kWh annually.
