NIO Intends To Launch ET7 Flagship In Germany Next Year
The car was recently shown in Germany alongside the EVE concept.
NIO has recently shown in Germany its upcoming all-electric flagship model, the NIO ET7, announcing an intention to launch it in the country by the end of 2022.
Let's recall that the car was introduced in January 2021 during the NIO Day event and is expected on the market in China in Q1 2022.
William Li, founder and CEO of NIO said:
"Entering Germany is the objective that we’re striving for. Interest is very high with many requests from potential users there. Our target is to have ET7 in Germany by the end of 2022."
An interesting thing is that the ET7 will be the first NIO model on the market in Germany, while in Norway, the company is currently introducing the NIO ES8 SUV.
It's not clear which battery version NIO will introduce in Europe (70 kWh, 100 kWh or solid-state 150 kWh).
Meanwhile, NIO has already started pre-production of the ET7 at the JAC-NIO Hefei Advanced Manufacturing Center in China.
Anyway, the direction is clear, NIO has ambitions to expand to Europe and it appears that it will happen sooner rather than later.
