Nio (NYSE: NIO) has ended beta testing of NOP (Navigate on Pilot) Plus, its assisted driving software, and started accepting paid subscriptions as planned.

Along with the release of Nio OS Banyan 2.0.0, NOP+ Beta will be upgraded to the official version, the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced today.

Starting July 1, NOP+ will start accepting subscriptions at RMB 380 ($52) per month, and free access benefits for new car buyers will be handed out at the same time, Nio said.

As of June 30, NOP+ Beta has been in a free trial for 185 days and has accumulated 42.86 million kilometers, adding 2.1 million kilometers per week, the company said.

More than 52,000 users participated in the NOP+ Beta trial, and the software achieved rapid iterative updates, it said.

On the official version of NOP+, Nio brought a new BEV (Bird's Eye View) and occupancy network perception model and switched to the same technology stack as NAD (Nio Autonomous Driving), it said.

The BEV perception architecture can display richer information including dynamic models, road elements, vehicle taillights, and turn signals, allowing assisted driving to reduce the frequency of degradation by 80 percent, resulting in a smoother NOP+ experience, Nio said.

In the second half of 2023, NOP+ will be extended to cover battery swap scenarios in highway service areas, and gradually cover battery swap stations in highway service areas nationwide, it said.

In the future, Nio will continue to optimize the assisted driving experience based on BEV and occupancy network awareness model, it said.

NOP+ will be pushed to vehicles with the Banyan 2.0.0 CN release, and users who do not receive the push in time will get 1 month of free access, Nio said.

The new ES6 already comes with Banyan version 2.0.1 CN software, and the ET5 Touring and new ES8 come with Banyan 2.0.0 CN on delivery, it said.

Nio announced on April 10 that customers who purchase ET7, ES7, EC7 and ET5 customers before June 1, and the new ES8 before August 1, will receive 2 years of free access to NOP+.

Customers who have previously purchased Nio Pilot software will receive at least 5 years of free NOP+ access if they purchase a new model of Nio's Banyan-based system again, Nio said at the time.

On May 31, Nio announced that all customers who purchase a new Nio vehicle will receive 1 year of free use of NOP+, with an expiration date for the benefit to be announced in the future.

In the first half of the year, Neta delivered 62,417 vehicles, down 1.13 percent from 63,131 units in the same period last year.

Neta has been seen as a budget EV maker since its inception in October 2014, as its vehicles have been priced primarily to target the lower end of the market over the past few years. The Neta V and Neta U currently start at RMB 83,900 (11,570) and RMB 118,800 in China, respectively.

The Neta S, its first effort at the premium end of the market, hit the market in China on July 31, 2022, with a current starting price range of RMB 202,800 to RMB 341,800.

On March 10, 2023 Neta laid the foundation stone for its factory in Bangkok, Thailand, which will be its main manufacturing base for building right-hand drive electric vehicles for export to ASEAN.

Leapmotor delivers record 13,209 vehicles in Jun as pivot to EREVs seems to be paying off-CnEVPost

Leapmotor delivered a record number of vehicles last month, as the company's move to add extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) offerings appears to have worked to boost sales.

The company delivered 13,209 vehicles in June, surpassing the previous record of 12,525 vehicles last August, according to figures released today.

That's up 17.32 percent from 11,259 units a year ago and up 9.55 percent from 12,058 units in May.

Leapmotor delivered 33,993 vehicles in the second quarter, up 11.76 percent year-on-year and up 223.47 percent from the first quarter.

In the first half of the year, the company delivered 44,502 vehicles, down 14.41 percent from 51,994 in the same period last year.

By the end of June, Leapmotor had delivered 206,171 vehicles since its inception, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

In June, Leapmotor's flagship C-series model delivered more than 11,600 units, contributing more than 87 percent of total deliveries, the company said today.

Of the total, more than 8,900 units of the flagship SUV model, the C11 series, were delivered, it said.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Zhejiang, Leapmotor's models on sale include the mini vehicle T03, the coupe model S01, the flagship SUV C11, and the flagship sedan C01.

Leapmotor has been seen as a budget EV maker for the past few years, with sales mainly contributed by the inexpensive T03, which currently has a starting price range of RMB 59,900 ($8,260) to RMB 89,900.

The C11, which went on sale September 29, 2021, and the C01, which went on sale September 28, 2022, are Leapmotor's flagship models, targeting the RMB 150,000 to RMB 300,000 range.

Deliveries of Leapmotor declined significantly starting in the fourth quarter of last year, falling to 1,139 units by January of this year, the lowest since March 2021.

To reverse the sales decline, Leapmotor announced plans last year to release an EREV model to target the market for larger plug-in hybrids. All of Leapmotor's previous models were battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

On March 1, Leapmotor officially launched the C11 EREV and offered 2023 models for the previously available BEVs, allowing for lower starting prices. Deliveries of the C11 EREV began in March.

Leapmotor will release an EREV variant of its flagship sedan, the C01, in July-August of this year, the company's founder, chairman and CEO Zhu Jiangming said previously.

Starting with the B-series models, all future new Leapmotor models will be offered in both BEV as well as EREV versions, Zhu said.

In late March, Leapmotor management said the company was targeting 200,000 units in 2023, nearly double the number of units sold in 2022.

Leapmotor delivered 111,168 vehicles in 2022, up 157.80 percent from 43,121 in 2021.

Nio deliveries rebound to 10,707 units in Jun as new models bring relief

delivered 23,520 vehicles in the second quarter, above the lower end of the guidance range of 23,000 to 25,000 vehicles.

Nio (NYSE: NIO) deliveries rebounded to more than 10,000 units as new models, including the new ES6, ET5 Touring and new ES8, began to be delivered.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker delivered 10,707 vehicles in June, up 73.96 percent from 6,155 in May, although down 17.39 percent from 12,961 in the same month last year, according to data released today.

The delivery included 6,383 SUVs, and 4,324 sedans, Nio said, without disclosing figures for specific models.

In the second quarter, Nio delivered 23,520 vehicles, down 6.14 percent from 25,059 in the same period last year and down 24.23 percent from 31,041 in the first quarter.

The second quarter deliveries were slightly above the lower end of the guidance range of 23,000 to 25,000 vehicles it provided on June 9. Nio guided at the time that total revenue for the second quarter would be between RMB 8.742 billion ($1.2 billion) and RMB 9.37 billion.

In the first half of the year, Nio delivered 54,561 vehicles, up 7.35 percent year-on-year.

As of June 30, Nio's cumulative vehicle deliveries reached 344,117 units.

Nio management previously mentioned that the company's goal is to double deliveries this year from last year's 122,486 units.

The figures released today mean that Nio will need to deliver an average of about 32,000 vehicles per month in the second half of the year if it is to achieve that goal.

Nio's delivery rebound in June was helped by the start of deliveries of several new models, particularly the new ES6, which is crucial to it.

On June 15, Nio launched the ET5 Touring in China, priced exactly the same as the regular ET5 sedan, which currently starts at RMB 298,000. Deliveries of the model began on June 16.

Hours after the ET5 Touring was launched in China, Nio rolled out the model as well as the EL6, known as the new ES6 in China, in Europe .
