Delivery time for Onvo L90 devices extends to 8-10 weeks; over 70% of customers choose Backend-as-a-Service plan.
In a remarkable turn of events, Nio's Onvo L90, one of the few models under Nio Inc's umbrella to face production shortages in recent years, is currently experiencing a surge in demand that has extended delivery times[1][3][5].
Despite the Hefei factory operating at full capacity, running around the clock with multiple shifts and overtime, it is working tirelessly to meet the high demand for the L90[4]. As a result, delivery times for most configurations of the L90 have increased from the initial 4–6 weeks at launch to 8–10 weeks[2][4]. New orders placed in mid-August can expect deliveries between early and mid-October. For the seven-seat variant, deliveries are set to start in late September as initially planned[2][4].
This increase in waiting times is a testament to the strong market momentum that the L90 has gained, setting records for Nio’s sub-brand Onvo[1][3][5]. In the first three days of launch, nearly 2,000 units were delivered, and over 4,000 units within the first 10 days. This strong sales performance has pushed waiting times longer as new orders continue to come in rapidly[1][3][5].
Under the BaaS battery rental plan, the Onvo L90 has a starting price of RMB 179,800, with a monthly battery rental fee of RMB 899[2]. Over 70 percent of customers opted for this battery rental purchase scheme when purchasing the Onvo L90[8]. Among the different variants, 55 percent of Onvo L90 owners chose the six-seat Ultra variant, while 43 percent opted for the six-seat Max variant[9]. Nearly 50 percent of Onvo L90 customers chose black as the exterior color, nearly 40 percent chose silver and brown exteriors[7].
Meanwhile, the delivery wait times for Nio's other models, such as the ET5, ET5 Touring, ES6, and EC6, remain at 2-3 weeks. The ET7 is at 3-4 weeks, and the EC7 and ET9 are at 4-5 weeks[6].
In other news, William Li, Nio's founder, chairman, and CEO, announced that Nio's third factory will start production in September[10]. Onvo president Shen Fei shared a video on Weibo showing the factory working day and night to ship L90 vehicles[3]. Nio will unveil the next-generation ES8 later this month and officially launch the SUV at Nio Day 2025 next month[11].
