Is the NIO ES6 a domestic car?
2 Answers
NIO ES6 is a domestic car. Here is some relevant information about the NIO ES6: 1. Introduction: NIO is a global intelligent electric vehicle brand. The NIO ES6 is a high-performance, long-range intelligent electric SUV launched by NIO at the 2018 NIO Day held at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. 2. Performance: The ES6 features a composite structure of high-strength aluminum and carbon fiber, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.7 seconds, a comprehensive range of 510 km under standard conditions, and a braking distance of 33.9 meters. The ES6 continues the design language of the NIO product family, with a stylish and sporty exterior and a refined, tech-savvy interior.
As an engineer who frequently works with domestic new energy vehicles, I genuinely believe the NIO ES6 is a true Chinese-made car. Its R&D and design were entirely completed domestically, with headquarters in Shanghai and production facilities in Hefei. Although it uses some imported components, the core three-electric system is independently developed. Last year when I visited their Hefei factory, I was quite impressed to see the fully localized production line covering the entire process from welding to final assembly. Nowadays, domestic cars are no longer synonymous with cheapness—especially for models in the 400,000 RMB price range like this, where the craftsmanship and materials are even more solid than many joint-venture vehicles.
