EXPANSION IN EUROPE
The Chinese carmaker, however, does not intend to stop only in Norway. Within a separate event, NIO stressed that it intends to also land in 5 other European countries . Which are not & egrave; was said but & egrave; It is easy to think that on this list there are, at least, the United Kingdom and Germany. More details will surely arrive over the next few months when the Chinese brand continues; with its launch project in Norway.
For NIO, the landing in Europe will not be; however easy since it will have to; face fierce competition led by Tesla. In addition, it will have to make itself known and create a reputation as a reliable builder as it aims at the premium market. All tasks that will be entrusted to Marius Hayler , the person to whom & egrave; responsibility has been delegated; of the brand in Norway. The expansion plan & egrave; certainly very ambitious, especially considering that NIO intends to bring to the Old Continent the battery swap service that was successful in China but which in Europe is; a novelty; absolute.
Sar & agrave; therefore very interesting to understand if NIO will succeed; to find a niche in the market. We won't have to wait too long to find out as the first sales will already start; in September. In this regard, it is recalled that initially the manufacturer will bring; its electric SUV ES8 with 100 kWh battery pack. The autonomy according to the WLTP cycle will be 500 km. The performance is very good since the 100 km/h starting from a standstill can be reached in 4.9 seconds.
In 2022 it will be; then the turn of the innovative ET7 sedan which at the moment is; expected to launch also in China. Nothing yet & egrave; been told about car prices in Europe and what kind of offers will be offered to customers.
