Registered in Thailand

4 NIO Firefly were registered in Thailand in October 2026.

24 registered in total, across 6 months of official data from May 2026. The last 12 months account for 24.

Compared over 12-month windows, not month to month: Thai registrations are seasonal — January runs about twice an average month, because Motor Expo sales are registered then. Source: Department of Land Transport new-car registration statistics, matched by model to evchu’s catalogue.
