The electric vehicle (EV) maker NIO delivered 106 vehicles in Norway during the month of June bringing the quarterly result up to 265 units, up 8% from Q1 2022 and a new record for the Shanghai-based company. The Nordic country has been the entrance point to the European market for many automakers due to its strong EV adoption.
Until now, only the ES8 Model is available but the ET7 sedan announced during NIO Day in December 2020 is arriving to the country in the last quarter of 2022. NIO‘s CEO William Li and NIO’s Manager of Norway, were gathered there with 20 NIO users back in January where they confirmed the arrival of the ET7 sedan to the country in Q4 2022. When it comes to NIO ET5, the model with 1,000km range will be available in Norway (and several other global markets) during the Spring of 2023.
