Hafei, in eastern China, is at the forefront of a technological revolution.
In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, we explore NIO, led by William Li, known as "China's Elon Musk".
NIO's innovative, swappable battery technology challenges conventional electric vehicle (EV) charging, promising more than 1,000km (about 621 miles) per charge.
Despite financial turbulence, workforce reductions, and market scepticism, NIO has rapidly grown with significant state support.
We examine NIO's global impact and discuss the future of the EV industry with CEO William Li, considering innovation, market forces, and international politics.

Nios quality started to convince the market place and the effect is broadening fast. From 2019-present, Nio cars have led on all fronts. I firmly believe Nio will be one of the definitive global leaders in time.

@greentraveler4114 Месяц назад

their technologies are completely different. why Western media always like to describe Chinese EVs as China's answer to Tesla? when report news about BYD, China's answer to Telsa. NIO, China's answer to Tesla. Geely, Zeekr, Li auto, China's answer to Tesla. I mean NIO use swap battery, Li auto are completely different from sedan. how they are the same? beside there's electric mode, you have to put every EVs as Telsa rivals? they are just different products, BYD even has hybrid, Tesla has hybrid? NIO swap battery, Tesla swap battery? Li auto produce big family SUV, Tesla product same? BYD produce U8 , Tesla produce rotating and floatable cars?

@kokhualow3419 Месяц назад

I always hoped that Nio can be mainstream as they are going into battery swap tech. One of the issues with EVs is that the battery degradates after sometime and it is difficult to imagine a 2nd hand EV has good value (because the range of an old battery is lower). As such battery swap makes more sense as the buyer has lesser risk of holding degraded batteries in their cars.

@bang4buck326 Месяц назад

But... Battery swap is much more expensive to provide enough swapping station infrastructure and "ready" battery stockpiles. Not all company ae willing to invest such HUGE money.

@kokhualow3419 Месяц назад

Hi yeah its expensive but if the whole industry can work together, it is possible to have a separate company to manage the stations and batteries. The battery will become a subscription kind of system and the cost of the car is just the shell.

Degradation is already a non-issue with today's battery tech. It will only improve over the years.

@Alitheone76 Месяц назад

Nio has the better cars. Let me tell you this. Tesla battery will go bad after 120,000 miles usually. NIO battery is swapped and your battery will be keep getting changed and never have to worry about cost of replacement battery. Tesla Battery cost $25000 and 7000 labor approximately. Nio Battery swap takes 3 minute. I wish Nio was in America.
