Nio has outlined plans for the establishment of two new EV brands – and said the first right-hand-drive prototypes of existing Nio cars have been constructed. Speaking to the media ahead of the Chinese firm's annual Nio Day presentation , CEO William Li confirmed Nio had progressed its second “family car” brand to the point that construction of validation prototypes of its first model was taking place.
On the subject of Nio’s plans for the UK, Li said: “Right-hand-drive prototypes do exist, but we will first focus on understanding and establishing ourselves in European markets.” Other markets being targeted by Nio include the UAE. “A few months ago, we tested driving the ET7 back and forth between Abu Dhabi and Dubai without any issues," said Li. "By setting up battery swap stations, we can easily solve the energy replenishment problem.
