Stars
ONVO's L60 shifted NIO from niche to volume: mid-2025 deliveries topped 20,000 units/month, driving ONVO's share in the high-growth family SUV segment and denting Tesla Model Y volumes-NIO captured ~4.5% of the China midsize SUV market by June 2025.
The NIO ET9, with its 900V architecture, commands roughly 60-70% share of China's $100k+ EV segment and lifted NIO's 2025 ASP by about 18% to ¥378,000 (≈$52,000); it drives brand halo among HNWIs, supports NIO's premium margin expansion (2025 gross margin ~22.5%), and remains a high-growth Star as the ultra-luxury EV market grows ~28% YoY.
By late 2025 NIO's Power Swap Station Network 4.0 reached over 3,500 deployed stations, driving swap volumes to ~18 million swaps year-to-date and positioning the network as a Star in NIO's BCG matrix.
Partnerships with OEMs like Geely and GAC turned the network into a revenue platform-NIO reported swap service revenue of RMB 1.9 billion in FY2025-competitors now pay to access stations.
The system still consumes capex-RMB 2.4 billion expansion spend in 2025-but creates an unmatched moat via speed (3-minute swaps) and geographic density across 250+ cities.
NIO Power Cloud SaaS
NIO Power Cloud SaaS drives 40% YoY licensing growth to third-party energy providers in FY2025, generating roughly RMB 1.2 billion (≈USD 170M) in SaaS revenue and leveraging 6.5 petabytes of vehicle-grid data to optimize charging for non-NIO EVs.
It holds a leading market share in Energy-as-a-Service with >25% share in China's smart-charging market and supports 1.8 million charging sessions monthly, signaling a Star in NIO's BCG matrix.
