Nio also set a single-month delivery record of 15,815, a year-on-year increase of 51 %, with the full-year number climbing 34% to 122,486, the automaker said on January 1.

Xpeng Motors shipments slid 29% to 11,292 NEVs in December from a year earlier, the company announced on January 1. Last year, its deliveries grew 23% to 120,757.
