While NIO still needs to prove its business plan, the company already achieved a big thing by introducing two BEVs in a relatively short period without long delays, often associated with automotive startups.

NIO Founder, Chairman and CEO, William Li, noted:

“The ES6 is NIO’s second mass production model, which we launched after the ES8. In less than five years, we have delivered two mass production models to our users, fulfilling our promises. We will continue to work on production, quality control, and increasing user satisfaction.”
