Where is NIO cars produced?

[StRafael]

NIO cars are produced at the NIO Hefei factory. Here is some related information about NIO: 1. NIO cars are produced in Hefei, China. It has global R&D and manufacturing operations with a worldwide presence, but its production base is located in Hefei, China; 2. NIO was founded in China in 2014. Currently, its overall R&D and manufacturing operations are spread globally. NIO's headquarters and global mass-production vehicles are located in Shanghai, China. The NIO electric drive system manufacturing base and test production line are in Nanjing, China. The NIO global autonomous driving R&D center is in San Jose, and the global design center is in North America. However, its production base is located at the Hefei factory in China, so NIO cars are produced in Hefei, China.

I've researched NIO's manufacturing layout and can share some insights as a new energy vehicle enthusiast. NIO's main production base is in Hefei, where they initially collaborated with JAC Motors for contract manufacturing before directly acquiring the JAC factory to operate themselves. They've also built a massive new facility called NeoPark in Hefei, specifically for producing premium models like the ET5. According to my findings, the Hefei plant accounts for over 80% of NIO's total production capacity, with complete vehicle manufacturing primarily concentrated in Anhui province. However, they do have a factory in Hungary, but that's for manufacturing battery swap equipment, while Nanjing mainly focuses on R&D and design.

Friends who follow new energy vehicle manufacturing should know that NIO's production layout is quite interesting. The core production bases are concentrated in Hefei, especially the NeoPark in Xinqiao, which boasts a high level of automation. The latest models ET5 and ET7 are both produced at this base, with a new car rolling off the line every 90 seconds. In earlier years, NIO relied on JAC for contract manufacturing, but later acquired the Hefei factory outright. They also have a global presence, with their Hungary factory producing battery swap station components, though complete vehicle manufacturing remains entirely domestic. There are rumors of a new plant being planned in Beijing's Yizhuang, but currently, most deliveries are from Hefei-made vehicles.

Recently, while helping a friend choose a car, I specifically researched NIO's production locations. The main production base is located in Hefei, more precisely in the Economic Development Zone, where you can see a massive factory area when driving by. Previously, it was JAC that handled the contract manufacturing, but after NIO took over independently last year, production capacity has significantly improved. Different models are produced at different locations—the ES series is manufactured at the Economic Development Zone factory, while the new ET models are all produced at the NeoPark production base in Xinqiao. Shanghai has a design center but doesn’t involve production, and Nanjing focuses on battery technology R&D. All vehicles leaving the factory have "Hefei Manufacturing" labeled on their nameplates, making it a new calling card for Anhui.

From a supply chain perspective, NIO's production is quite interesting. The entire vehicle manufacturing process is completed in Hefei, divided across two bases: the Economic Development Zone factory produces the ES series, while the NeoPark facility in Xinqiao manufactures the ET series. Their battery packs are assembled in Nanjing and then transported to Hefei, with vehicle controllers sourced from suppliers in Suzhou. Despite establishing seven R&D centers globally, production lines remain exclusively in China, with overseas orders also being manufactured in Hefei for export. It's said they've set up an R&D center in Germany, but the manufacturing process has consistently stayed within the Hefei base.

We locals in Hefei all know where the NIO factory is located. The area in the Economic Development Zone used to be JAC's factory site, and now it bears the NIO logo. During the morning and evening rush hours, you can see car carriers queuing up to transport new vehicles out of the factory, which is quite a spectacular scene. The newly built electric vehicle industrial park in Xinqiao is more modern, producing stylish models like the ET5. As residents, we feel proud to see the factory area expanding, as it has boosted the surrounding catering and rental markets. Although NIO promotes globalization, the actual production lines are all in our Hefei. Even the cars exported to Europe are locally manufactured and shipped from here.
