Analysis of the Operating Capacity of New Energy Electric Vehicles Industry-Taking NIO as an example

Spurred by the global climate crisis, nations worldwide are accelerating energy-structure adjustments and promoting the low-carbon transformation of the transport sector through policy incentives. Concurrently, the deep integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence is reshaping the automotive landscape, driving the joint evolution of electric powertrains and intelligent-driving capabilities and laying the technological foundation for smart mobility solutions.Amid this shift, an emerging cohort of next-generation automakers has entered the market. This study focuses on NIO Inc. as a representative firm within the global new-energy-vehicle (NEV) segment. Its primary objectives are to evaluate NIO’s operational efficiency against industry benchmarks and to propose actionable recommendations for the operational challenges identified. Using a mixed-methods approach-systematic literature review, content analysis, and quantitative assessment-key performance indicators (accounts-receivable turnover, inventory turnover, and total-asset turnover) were examined for the 2019-2023 period and compared with prevailing automotive-manufacturing averages. The comparative analysis highlights specific weaknesses and informs targeted solutions that can enhance performance at both company and industry levels.
