Qin Lihong: The number of pre-orders for the new ES8 is higher than that of the L90, and NIO's Hong Kong stock opened with a sharp increase of nearly 10% in response.

On August 22, NIO's US stock market opened nearly 10% higher, quickly stabilizing at a high of 45 Hong Kong dollars. NIO's founder, chairman, and CEO, William Li, stated in a media communication today that by 2025, the benefits of the user experience from pure electric technology will outweigh the experience losses caused by the inconvenience of charging. The turning point is marked by an increasing number of pure electric full-size SUVs entering the market recently, with sales soaring and growth far exceeding that of extended-range, plug-in hybrid, and fuel-driven full-size SUVs. User choices and market data have already shown that the era of pure electric full-size SUVs is approaching, and swappable battery pure electric full-size SUVs are the ultimate choice. Yesterday, NIO's flagship all-scenario technology SUV, the new ES8, was announced for pre-sale: the Executive Luxury version with six/seven seats starts at 416,800 yuan, and can be purchased using the BaaS battery rental method with a pre-sale price starting at 308,800 yuan; the Executive Signature version starts at 456,800 yuan, with a pre-sale price starting at 348,800 yuan using the BaaS battery rental method.
