On January 6, Li Bin, the founder of NIO, made an announcement at an event, revealing that NIO has stepped into its third phase of development, which focuses on high-caliber growth. He mentioned that NIO aims to enhance the synergy among its three brands, expand its market share across different segments, and maintain an annual growth rate of 40% to 50%.

Moreover, the company is set to keep investing in infrastructure, with an ambitious plan to have over 10,000 battery swap stations and charging stations each by 2030. The recent spike in memory prices has captured the attention of various industries. Li Bin foresees that this will introduce more uncertainties into the automotive market this year.

When questioned about whether the sharp hike in memory prices would impact the purchase prices of consumer vehicles, Li Bin responded that the current market scenario is still within the company's acceptable limits, and the price increases have not been transferred to end consumers yet. Nevertheless, the future trend of vehicle prices is still up for observation.
