Jefferies called Nio "China's icon for luxury BEVs," saying investors' expectations are high given the company's new model and better introduction during Nio Day earlier this month.

The amount was raised because of the exercise in full by the initial purchasers in their option to purchase up to an additional $100 million in the 2026 notes and $100 million in the 2027 notes.

BYD is the Chinese new energy vehicle company with the most valid patents, and Nio is the most of the three US-listed Chinese EV makers - Nio, Li Auto and Xpeng Motors, according to a recent report.

Qin mentioned the construction schedule of the second-generation battery swap station, the plan to enter overseas markets, and the development of NAD (Nio Autonomous Driving).

Qin said that the current factor that may limit the further popularity of EVs is the construction of public infrastructure.

If Nio enters overseas markets, its first stop could be Norway, the first country in the world where electric vehicles account for more than 50% of new car sales.

This feature provides the possibility for Nio to bring the battery swap model to developed markets in Europe and the United States, he said.

Nio, Li Auto, and Xpeng are building autonomous driving R&D systems, rather than leaving their fate in the hands of Mobileye.

The Nio ET7 is equipped with the most powerful self-driving hardware available, with four Nvidia Orin chips and 1016 TOPS of computing power, making it a mobile computing center, according to analysts.

Apple manufacturer Foxconn has appointed Jack Cheng, former co-founder and executive vice president of Nio, as chief executive officer of its electric vehicle platform, according to jin10.com.
