Delivery of the cars from the purchase option will begin in 2023.

A spy shot shows Nio testing what is suspected to be the ES5. In addition, more spy photos of the so-called EC7 reveal new details.

The latest wait time for the Nio ET7 is 6-8 weeks, a significant reduction from the previous 11-13 weeks, which seems to indicate that the model may have gained improved capacity.

Qin Lihong mentioned this in the Nio App in response to a user suggestion that Nio should offer consumers an additional option in Europe.

Li Auto registered 1,798 units, up from 194 units in the first week of October, and Xpeng Motors registered 1,345 units, up from 580 units in the first week.

The Nio ET5 and EL7 are priced higher in Norway than they are in China, while the ET7 is slightly lower.

Nio made the first ET7 deliveries in Germany and the Netherlands, while customers from Denmark, Sweden and Norway test-drove the sedan.

This is the first time that ZF has secured a business partnership in Asia Pacific for steer-by-wire, a technology necessary to enable autonomous driving.

Some buyers would naturally be concerned about the residual value of a new brand, and a monthly subscription option allows customers to try out the cars, according to Edison Yu's team.

The models ahead of the Nio ET7 are all traditional internal combustion engine cars, mainly from German luxury brands BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
