NIO's Firefly sells out limited-edition EV in under eight hours

NIO's small-car brand Firefly launched an 8-bit-themed limited-edition EV on June 10, capped at 333 units and priced at 135,800 yuan - about 13% above the base car - and sold out the run in under eight hours. The push comes as Firefly delivered 5,663 vehicles in May, up about 54% year over year, and after the brand passed 60,000 cumulative deliveries less than two months after hitting 50,000. NIO is also opening its fifth-generation battery-swap stations to Firefly owners for the first time this month.
