NIO(蔚来汽车)的第一部电动SUV NIO ES8 已经开始少量交车了
NIO 除了提供一般的充电服务之外，也可以选择以更换电池的方式来补充电力
另外他们也布署了不少移动式的充电货车(初期说会约有1200辆)
他们的充电货车MAXUS EV80 有两组70kWh 的电池可用来帮其他车辆补充电力
而不是车上装着柴油发电机
虽然这是设计给NIO 的ES8 使用的，但也可以为其他电动车服务
大约10分钟可以补充约100km 的续航力
但是这服务并不便宜，一次要价180元人民币
首批ES8 共约一万辆，起价为54.8万人民币(不含补贴)
如果选择电池租赁方案，则车子的前期价格为27.54万人民币
电池月租费为1280元人民币
但可以享有换电池的服务
另外NIO 这家公司目前在中国约有600多人、美国也约有600多人的团队，欧洲也有
所以除了中国外，未来应该也会在美国欧洲等地推出电动车

NIO is courting Tesla owners with mobile charging stations with electric vans
As we previously reported, electric vehicle startup NIO is emerging as a
serious competitor in the EV space in China and is now courting Tesla owners
with mobile charging stations through vans, which were designed for its
vehicles – but available to Tesla owners.
China’s demand for SUVs is increasing rapidly and it is extending to
electric SUVs, which made Tesla’s Model X a very popular vehicle in the
country despite its higher price due to import duties slapped on all of Tesla
’s vehicles.
Now NIO, which is emerging as one of the most well-funded new Chinese EV
startups, is bringing its first production vehicle to market, the NIO ES8, a
cheaper all-electric SUV to try to capture some of that demand for electric
SUVs.
Like Tesla, the company is building its own service and charging
infrastructure to support its fleet and one of those services include a novel
mobile charging system built into a van that comes to you to charge your car.
Tesla owners can also use the service as demonstrated by userJayinShanghai on
Reddit with his Tesla Model S:
What’s most impressive about this is that NIO is doing it the right way. We
are not talking about a ICE van with a diesel generator running a level 2
charger.
It’s a MAXUS EV80 electric van equipped with 2 70 kWh battery packs, which
can add about 100 km of range to the Model S in about 10 minutes, according
to Jay.
The service costs 180RMB or about $25 US and it can be performed without the
owner there if they can remotely unlock the charge port.
While Tesla owners can use the service, it was designed for the NIO ES8 and
is now also used to promote charging for other EV owners.
The first 10,000 ES8 vehicles are “Founder Edition” with a starting price
of RMB 548,000 (~$83,000 USD) before incentives.
But the price of those “Founder Edition” vehicles doesn’t matter much
since NIO claims that they’ve are already sold out.
The standard ES8 starts at RMB 448,000 (~$68,000 USD) or RMB 375,400
($57,000) after govt. incentives, which represents roughly half of the price
of the Tesla Model X in China.
But NIO also offers a battery renting structure, similar to Renault’s ZOE
battery scheme, which lowers the upfront price of the vehicle to RMB 275,400
(~$42,000 USD).
The battery renting fee is not cheap at RMB 1,280 (~$200 USD) per month, but
it also gives owner access to a battery swap system to get more range quickly
on top of this mobile charging service.
NIO is so far focused on the Chinese market, but they also have an important
presence in the US and they have global ambitions.
