Nio ES8

The new Nio ES8 is longer than the current model and has the same exterior design as the rest of the NT 2.0 platform-based models.

For a model that is five years away from its debut, the ES8 could be the first to switch to the NT 2.0 platform.

The latest expected delivery times for Nio ES8, ES6 and EC6 are all around 2 weeks after locking in orders, down from 2-3 weeks previously.

The vehicle's head is wrapped in camouflage, but its headlights are set up differently from the current ES8.

Nio will transform its existing 866 models into its new NT 2.0 platform next year, which will boost sales in the second half of 2023, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu's team.

Edison Yu's team hosted their first China EV Ride & Drive event with investors in Oslo last week, where participants had the opportunity to test drive models including the Nio ES8, Xpeng P7, Zeekr 001, and Aiways U5.

Consumers who take delivery this year will receive a purchase subsidy of at least RMB 11,340.

Audi claims that the Nio ES6 and ES8 naming infringes on the trademark rights of two of its models, the S6 and S8.

The China Automotive Science and Technology Award is one of the most influential science and technology awards in China's automotive industry.

The Nio ES8 will start at a lower price in Norway than in China, fulfilling a previous promise by company executives not to pursue higher gross margins.
