A recent widely discussed media story about an interview with William Li actually comes from December 22, 2024.
This past weekend, a wide-ranging interview with William Li, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Nio (NYSE: NIO), sparked widespread discussion on social media.
According to CnEVPost's exclusive knowledge, the interview was not made recently, and the information, including about sales targets and overseas market expansion plans, was from late last year.
CnEVPost saw the "interview" with William Li on Saturday, published by Portuguese media outlet Razão Automóvel on March 7, which covered a wide range of topics, including Onvo's plans to deliver 20,000 units in March and Nio's plans for overseas markets.
The story was then widely discussed on social media, and CnEVPost received messages from some readers asking about the discussions.
A Nio insider told CnEVPost that the text in the article was not from an exclusive interview, but from a roundtable conversation William Li had with non-Chinese media in Guangzhou on the morning after Nio Day 2024 on December 22, 2024, where CnEVPost was present.
Li mentioned at the time that the company hoped to deliver 20,000 units of the Onvo L60 in March.
The automatic translation of the text of the interview posted by Razão Automóvel also implies that this information is from last year:
All the other information in that article, too, comes from the roundtable conversation.
