Nio to launch in Norway in September
Nio plans to deliver the first ES8s in Norway in September 2021. As the Chinese carmaker has now announced, Norway will also be the first overseas market to offer the company’s complete charging infrastructure – including battery exchange stations.
The timetable for the launch in the first overseas market is tight: Nio wants to go live with its app in Norway in July, test drives with the ES8 electric SUV should be possible from August, and the first binding orders and deliveries will then take place in September: the first transport ship is already scheduled to leave China in June. For those who want to secure one of the first vehicles, reservations will be possible as early as July.
