Nio was founded in Shanghai on November 25, 2014, as one of China's earliest EV startups. The company celebrated its 100,000th production vehicle rolling off the assembly line on April 7, 2021, when Tesla CEO Elon Musk congratulated it, calling it a "tough milestone."
On May 9, 2024, Nio marked the production of its 500,000th vehicle. The company launched its Onvo brand on May 15, 2024, and unveiled its first model, the L60, on September 19, 2024. Onvo's second model, the L90, went on sale on July 31, 2025. The Firefly brand was officially launched on December 21, 2024, with its sole model currently available hitting the market on April 19, 2025.
