Nio’s Product Experience Director Benjamin Steinmetz, stated, “The support from the Cinemo team has been instrumental in achieving our vision to take Nio’s digital multimedia experience to the next level. Using Cinemo’s suite of advanced multimedia solutions ensures we can always provide our users with the latest in-vehicle digital media experiences.”

Nio chief executive William Li commented earlier this week the European tax policies on Chinese EVs during a user communication event held in China saying the tariff hike is “definitely unfair.”

“Currently, we see that Europe’s tax situation is like this: originally, it was 10 percent, and now they added 21 percent, making it a 31 percent tax. This is definitely unfair, right? Europe has always been a global model for clean energy and sustainable development,” Li stated.

Last week, the European Commission said it will hike tariffs up to 38.10 percent on automakers who did not cooperate with the investigation that started last year and 21 percent on the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers which have not been “sampled”.
