Chinese EV brand Nio has confirmed that it will initiate its European roll-out within the coming months, with its ES8 SUV available to order in Norway from July.
Nio s European Vice President Hui Zhang recently told Autocar that the firm was on track for a European launch in 2021, but had yet to decide which country it would sell cars in first.
Earlier this year, Norway became the first country in the world where the majority of new car sales were pure-electric cars. Nio CEO William Li said the Scandinavian country is at the forefront of e-mobility andsustainable growth , which coupled with its strong sense of community and high purchasing power , make it a perfect fit for Nio.
The news that Nio is set to start selling cars in Norway this year shouldn’t be a surprise: it’s always seemed a question of when, rather than if, the firm would expand internationally. That’s partly because it’s always seemed a question of when, rather than if, a Chinese car brand would crack the European market. And Nio has seemingly been designed expressly to do that.
Comparisons between Nio and Tesla have been overplayed, in part because they’re easy to make: high-profile founders who made their millions through tech companies, high-profile stock market listings and, perhaps less positively, early financial woes and a struggle to generate consistent profits.
