On September 3, Li Bin, the founder of NIO, highlighted at the media briefing for the second-quarter financial report of 2026 that NIO possesses three key strengths that the market currently underestimates. Firstly, NIO boasts long-term competitiveness in its full-stack technology, which encompasses self-developed chips, operating systems, and foundational AI capabilities—a holistic approach that sets it apart. Secondly, in the era of smart electric vehicles, NIO's brand stands out for its scarcity value, offering a unique proposition in a crowded market. Thirdly, NIO's business model, centered on the growth of its existing user base, is unparalleled. Notably, NIO's revenue from services and community businesses surpassed RMB 10 billion in 2025, and it has continued to grow and achieve profitability in the first half of this year.
