EV brand Nio’s stand at the Beijing Auto Show had a lot of cars on it. But not a lot of models. Currently they have three – the EP9 supercar, an autonomous future concept named Eve, and a medium-large SUV, the ES8.


However, despite the fact that they had a slight paucity of brand new product, and rather a lot of the same car (the ES8), their stand was consistently heaving with interested media people and industry insiders. They’ve definitely managed to whip up some interest in their brand. But now they have to convert that into sales, and rumour has it that a new model is on the way which is intended to do that job.
