As the brand slowly increases its presence in Europe, it’s also making waves in the UK. Before an imminent announcement that it would join the UK market, the new ET5 saloon (likely a model that will launch here, as well as the ET5 Touringestate) will make an appearance at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Nio’s Euro-spec range has started with t...
Remember Nio? The Chinese electric car maker shot to fame in 2017 with the launch of the EP9, a hotshot supercarthat went on to claim the lap record for EVs at the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife. But there’s much more to Nio than just super-fast race cars masquerading as eco transport. The EP9 and Nio’s Formula E team are the Trojan horses for a deadly...
Proof that Nio should be taken seriously was provided at the 2019 Shanghai show by the global debut of the new ET Preview (pictured above), the precursor to the ET7 production car. And, no, it doesn’t look very much like a concept car to us. This smoothly styled, production-ready 5.1m-long saloon is a warning shot across the bows of the Tesla Model...
Nio’s Swedish R&D chief Roger Malkusson told CAR there was more to come from the brand’s original electric car architecture: ‘We will still launch one or two more products on the current platform. We already have two SUVs in China; our third and fourth vehicles will be something else. We are staying around the size you see here, 4.7-5.1m. The curre...
Nio has pinpointed a primary obstacle to electric car mass adoption in the coming years: most prospective owners don’t want to sacrifice the long range and ease of refuelling they’re used to with combustion engines. This is tricky with current lithium-ion battery technology, so Nio is working hard on a suite of battery solutions, as well as factori...
Founder William Li (above) told CAR back in 2019 that Nio was perfecting its product and systems in China before going global. We’re now seeing the fruits of that preparatory work. ‘It will be a few years, not decades,’ he told us. ‘Now our priority is to sell in China – it’s still the world’s biggest car and EV market. When we are ready, we will e...
‘Battery performance improvements will be linear in the next two to three years, and after that we expect a step change,’ predicted engineering boss Malkusson back in 2019. ‘We are working with battery suppliers on what that will be – whether it’s solid-state or some other tech advance. Our battery range is 510km (320 miles) today; soon it’ll be 60...
Nio aims to make owning its cars more like a private members’ club. Users can visit 13 Nio Houses dotted across the major cities in China (and now Norway, too), where they can use cafes, auditoriums, libraries and hot-desking areas for work or pleasure. You win Nio points for advocacy and recommending friends; points can be swapped for drinks, merc...
Nio says the Nordschleife-slaying EP9 (above) was no one-off. The British-built supercar was a calling card for Nio’s performance ambitions, according to Nio UK’s former MD Angelika Sodian. ‘We will continue to develop it and could have our own performance line in the road cars. It would be a logical next step to keep the connection with our Formul...
Dec 29, 2023 · Backed by an enthusiastic group of drivers, Nio has overtaken Audi in sales in Shanghai as the market share of foreign carmakers in China has collapsed. Today, Nio users can directly message Li...
