The company has thus far hosted four Nio Days, at which it has made several key product and services-related announcements. The company unveiled its ET7 sedan at the Nio Day held in January.

The Hefei city is the capital of the Anhui province in China, where Nio China is headquartered. It is the local government of Hefei that helped the company when it was facing a severe financial crunch in the second half of 2019. Since then, the company has initiated many projects here, including the construction of a smart EV city named Neo Park.

Suzhou is a city situated west of Shanghai, China's business capital. It is the economic center and an industrial and logistical hub of the Jiangsu province.

The Xi'an city is the capital of the Shaanxi Province in central China.

Nio shares, which saw some slackness this year after peaking in January, has picked up some momentum in June.

The stock closed Friday's session down 0.98% at $50.40 but is up 3.4% for the year-to-date period.
