- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Hafei, in eastern China, is at the forefront of a technological revolution.
In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, we explore NIO, led by William Li, known as "China's Elon Musk".
NIO's innovative, swappable battery technology challenges conventional electric vehicle (EV) charging, promising more than 1,000km (about 621 miles) per charge.
Despite financial turbulence, workforce reductions, and market scepticism, NIO has rapidly grown with significant state support.
We examine NIO's global impact and discuss the future of the EV industry with CEO William Li, considering innovation, market forces, and international politics.

I drive a Nio ET7. The best car I drove so far! ❤️💯
you loser
Which country you live in?
You are lucky. I am living in U.S and don't have the opportunity like you.
Nios quality started to convince the market place and the effect is broadening fast. From 2019-present, Nio cars have led on all fronts. I firmly believe Nio will be one of the definitive global leaders in time.
There are at least a dozen EV companies that are comparable to Nio. That is why the Chinese EV industry is unstoppable.
bought first NIO (es6)in 2019, then new ES8 last year, happy with my cars.
their technologies are completely different. why Western media always like to describe Chinese EVs as China's answer to Tesla? when report news about BYD, China's answer to Telsa. NIO, China's answer to Tesla. Geely, Zeekr, Li auto, China's answer to Tesla. I mean NIO use swap battery, Li auto are completely different from sedan. how they are the same? beside there's electric mode, you have to put every EVs as Telsa rivals? they are just different products, BYD even has hybrid, Tesla has hybrid? NIO swap battery, Tesla swap battery? Li auto produce big family SUV, Tesla product same? BYD produce U8 , Tesla produce rotating and floatable cars?
The correct answer is the globalist get a slice of pie or not?
You know byd most recognized brand and fairly acceptable bc many foreign investment money put in there😅😅
Very well said…
The reporter don't know that much what you said 😅
他们可能甚至都没有真正了解过每款中国汽车的数据和性能,只是刻板印象让他们下了结论😂😂
当你真正去了解中国每个品牌汽车的性能时它会刷新你的认知!!
比如HUAWEIm9已经实现全中国无人驾驶,最近bye的dmi技术充电一次行驶2400公里。
China's cars are like their roads, bridges and buildings. Super safe and luxurious
NIO is an incredible product and company.
I always hoped that Nio can be mainstream as they are going into battery swap tech. One of the issues with EVs is that the battery degradates after sometime and it is difficult to imagine a 2nd hand EV has good value (because the range of an old battery is lower). As such battery swap makes more sense as the buyer has lesser risk of holding degraded batteries in their cars.
But... Battery swap is much more expensive to provide enough swapping station infrastructure and "ready" battery stockpiles. Not all company ae willing to invest such HUGE money.
@@bang4buck326NIO is and they’ve already got half the state owned manufacturers to buy in as well
Just FYI those extra batteries in storage at swap stations can also provide backup electricity to the grid. They have partners with public utilities companies in China.
Hi yeah its expensive but if the whole industry can work together, it is possible to have a separate company to manage the stations and batteries. The battery will become a subscription kind of system and the cost of the car is just the shell.
Degradation is already a non-issue with today's battery tech. It will only improve over the years.
NIO cars are the best in the World
This brand is controversial even within China
@@supervince110have you ever drove a NIO? They are the best car I’ve ever driven.
People who say this are usually invested in the company lmao nio is a knock off Tesla
@@cameronsaunders9020 I don’t have any stock in NIO outside of driving one. I assume you’ve never actually driven one. Also, I love being about to swap. Tesla was the first but, to me, NIO is superior in quality and energy features. I hope you can open your mind to look at other brands outside of Tesla, to me those are outdated. Build Your Dreams, Ideal, and Zeeker are also better vehicles.
@@supervince110why?
Among all the EV company CEOs in China, this one is the most well-balanced character. He’s gonna shine. And so will NIO.
Next decade 😂
Stock price says it all! 😂
@@anthonyheak3479if nio is belong to the US rather than China, hahaha, a total different stock price you would see
@@anthonyheak3479 I think thats due to no big money endorsement yet. But their business is moving well along. We’ll see.
Nio has the better cars. Let me tell you this. Tesla battery will go bad after 120,000 miles usually. NIO battery is swapped and your battery will be keep getting changed and never have to worry about cost of replacement battery. Tesla Battery cost $25000 and 7000 labor approximately. Nio Battery swap takes 3 minute. I wish Nio was in America.
@Alitheone76 Very well explained and said to point out the the huge advantage for choosing Nio, value per value.
How big is the battery where do you store the extra one?
@@f2fscientist Nio has battery swap station. Nio car will park automatically and machine will replace the battery under the car.
Invest buy there shares , once they come
To America buy NIo
With profits
US goverment will never allow that to happen. US goverment work for authomotive and oil cartel. And they will tell you china EV is national security threat...your goverment is socialism for the rich and very capitalist for the poors. They give you candies called freedom and democracy (fake)
Is NIO in Australia yet? This is the first time I have learned about this car brand by watching this video..
No only in China and a few countries in Europe.
The battery swap makes great sense for Australian conditions,Our Govt to stupid to help bring it on!
The level of China hatred in the Anglo-Saxonsphere - US, UK, Australia, and Canada - is not attractive to Chinese car companies.
Blue sky coming Go Nio . 😘
I like the man behind NIO!
Definitely My dream car!
Best premium EV car in the world with the best technology and service! In time their BAAS and battery as a service will be the world’s standard for EV. If you want long terms EV sustainability, you got to think NIO battery swapping technology.
Taiwan’s Gogoro pioneered the concept beginning in 2011. They dominate the E scooter market in Taiwan.
Great to see so many positive feedback. Looking forward to seeing NIO make profit and reflect to the stock prices soon
Such a humble but visionary leader!
Battery swap is its own invention which deserves market recognition.
I believed Tesla started all that.
@@duketlam9206agree but lack of tech during their presentation so they did not bother doing the next step.. They said it was expensive project 😕
have you used it? This is not a cheap solution it cost CNY100-150 for 7 days. I think charging in China at home around CNY 0.5/kwh. If EV is the future charging infrastructure most people use is at home as most people use less than 20% of the time. I also think current batteries technology has a lifespan of another 10 years. Then new tech like solid state batteries will make NIO swap stations obsolete
@@duketlam9206 I drive a Model S but no such thing whatsoever.
Gogoro pioneered the concept of swappable battery contract & dominates the Taiwanese e-scooter market largely because of it.
NIO is amazing. hope it can be profitable soon
Nio the best ❤
If NIO enters USA Tesla would lose a lot of sales.
The Nio car designs are pretty nice
Nio avatar zeekr ssr, luxury EV❤
Nio make the best smart EV in the globe bar none.
He was never known as China's Elon Musk, nor has anyone called him that in China ever
Go Nio!
Love what NIO is doing, such a great EVs and tech inside is just amazing ❤❤❤
Great interview.
My family has a NIO and I am enjoying the benefits of the car. But the feasibility of EV is highly depended on its corresponding infrastructure. China has invested much in EV infrastructure, but i am not sure which other countries have such commitments towards EV.
Interesting video. Thanks for the interview.
Even William Li doesn’t advertise Nio well on Aljazeera. AND ITS FREE ADVERTISING 😢There’s so much technology and services that Nio has to offer that no company has. Sad to say that maybe maybe Nio needs a new CEO
Nio are alot more desirable tbh. Telsa are abit of one trick pony, they haven't properly updated their models in years and only brought out the cyber truck, which is a monstrosity that only have very few that actually need it.
Super informative and helpful
NIO is the future and one day soon will be the king of EV in the world. Go NIO 🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥
Keep giving use more info on nio good info.
I bought my ES8 last year here in Shanghai, its wonderful, building 1 swapping station every week, more and more people are chosing NIO due to its faster swapping technology, and its not expensive at all
I think you will find they build a lot more than just one swap station a week.... Google is your friend
@@tonygrant3062yea lol the math doesnt check out. The hundreds they build per year
This man behind NIO is a visionary. I’m liking NIO
as Chinese, I would assure he's not chinese Elon Musk, Elon R&D many tech themselves while Li he dont
William Li for US President! What a Man!
For president of usa
This guy is respectable.
So a swappable battery like you would on an RF scanner at work, would it be possible to get a high performance swap to make you car a Hot Rod for the weekend?
Since when an EV became a hot rod? Does Tesla do that idea of yours?
You can swap a different capacity battery. So your car can go from 500km to 1000km range in 3 min swap. Performance isnt really on the battery though it’s on the motor idk.
Best company in the world 🌎
Why did the reporter's accent change between when she did the intro amd when she started rhe interview???
Is there any Chinese competition to this guy in China?
yes, many brand
中国目前电动汽车品牌有70多个,还在不断的增加,当然,最后能生存下来的也许不多,中国竞争非常激烈,所以在中国电动汽车非常便宜,最新的byd秦充一次电可以行驶2400㎞,售价仅为9.98万人民币,约合美金1.3万
多了去了
@@user-er1iq8nq1hhow popular is Neo to the people in China currently do you see it getting popular
@@f2fscientist nio在2023年的销量为约16万辆,同比增长30.7%1。这一成绩显示出蔚来汽车在高端电动汽车市场的强劲表现,尤其是在上海市场,蔚来连续5个月超越宝马、奔驰、奥迪等传统豪华品牌,不分动力形式2。此外,蔚来通过其换电布局和与多家企业的换电合作,加速抢占传统豪华赛道,展现了其在高端纯电汽车市场的持续增长势头3。
蔚来汽车的成功不仅体现在销量上,还在于其产品力的提升。在上海成交均价30万元以上的市场中,蔚来能够超越BBA(宝马、奔驰、奥迪)等传统豪华品牌,说明中国高端电动汽车品牌的产品力已足以和传统豪华品牌抗衡2。此外,在2024年的高端品牌销量排行榜中,蔚来汽车无论是单月销量还是上半年总销量上,都完成了对豪华品牌第二阵营的超越,冲击一线豪华阵营4。这些成绩表明,蔚来汽车不仅在销量上取得了显著增长,而且在品牌定位和市场竞争力方面也得到了提升。
I hold Nio stocks. They are permanently in minus.
Li, how do you plan to fix it?
It will continue as long as it's China brand
Nio is the future
I find the screen size inside Nio EVs too small
但是它还给了3台平板😂😂
Nio is way better than Tesla
But NIO can't make profit selling EV's 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But NIO can't make profit selling EV's 😂😂
Nio & Tesla should merge in battery swapping technology
China's Elon Musk is known as Yi Long Ma. Good try anyway 🤣
For those who are not aware, $NIO share price has crashed more than 90% since all time high
If China has an equivalent of Musk, I offer them my condolences.
cost is 2x byd.
Right, better car. Nio is a luxury brand.
the best brand ever
William is really great leader and if he only learn English would be nice
He graduated from PKU. I am sure he has learned English😂
He doesn't need to he is already smarter and more erudite and capable than 90% of English speakers out there. Stop being such a supremacist
You can hear some English words being spoken. I think he understands English but command may be limited. Using Chinese will help him better expressed his thoughts and avoid misunderstanding or miscommunication.
*Nah 🤭 you should learn Chinese*
Nio are top quality, and western world is way behind chinese tech , anyone who doubts china should be asked what they love about their phone ... and where was it made ... no matter what make it is , and their tv , laptop , pad
What? He is not chinas elon, hes much better
As a dane I respect Nio but its out of my budget. My favorite electric cars are:
1: Tesla
2: Xpeng
3: BYD
wait for OnVo.😊
Onvo is soon coming out, much better than Tesla overall if all the statements and specs are true
@@Ana-qn1zk cant wait to try it. I was overall very impressed with Xpeng G6 ans BYD seal. The Operating system and software was not as refined as Tesla but I was told especially xpeng is investing heavily on software and they are progressing rapidly.
My next car will either be a Model Y, Xpeng G6 or Nio Onvo if its compelling
Xpeng is trash compared, NIO is successfully spending way more on software, research and innovation. That's why Onvo will beat all of them in mid-price range. @@greenearth9945
Every one here with positive comments from share holders , coz is going down so baddly 😂
Nothing new here in this interview the same cookie cutter questions…Nio is the best EV brand in the world for sure. But they are still loosing a ton of cash every quarter. And they suck at marketing there battery swap option.
Li is not even close to Musk. In order to be comparable to Musk he must also collude with the government, good in concealing his craving for power & wealth with humanitarian reason, and promote himself often through social media.
Mr Li, if you see this comment, I would like to be your Irish brand ambassador please.
I am a proud Nio stock investor
Blue Sky Coming
Correction: Yi Long Mung from Temu 😂
China got many luxury ev brand, not just Nio.
But NIO os the only premium brand with battery swap tech… unique company and a future monster
@ahamedchowdhury6106 I agree and very well said
The thumbnail is very dishonest
NIO stock is a joke, ceo just wants his personal rich not stock holders.
NIO CEO should speak english in this interview if he's investing to sell worldwide
I am surprised that boss Li speaks mandarin but not English 😂
*You are surprised the boss speaking boss language? You as a servant speak servant language?*
PLEASE interprete to English, translation isn't best.
He aont important enough for me to read subtitles for 30 min bro
Taiwan’s Gogoro has been swapping batteries in their scooters since 2011 & are now established throughout SE Asia. Presumably, this is where NIO got the idea.
This dog media is filtering comments.
Blue sky is coming
Sorry, but i remember Mr. Bill Clinton is actually middle deaf, because of buzzing. Maybe someone else too
Nio 🚗👏🥰
No indians in comments😂😂
elon musk's fart more like it
Mr Li never speaks in English. This way he will never be a good CeO
Where are the subtitles?
You have to turn captions on
@@starfish253 it's still not available after 4 days hehe
@@alexs.9585really odd. i can see the English subtitles on my version
She didn't ask about Onvo. She didn't ask about Firefly. She didn't ask about the fact that Firefly cannot use the existing battery swap stations. She didn't ask when Nio would become profitable. She didn't ask about expected penetration by Onvo into the Model3 and Model Y markets in China. Just a lot of softball questions. Not very revealing.
She did ask About profitability.
Lots of NIO spammers here. Tells you that the car is rubbish.
You can comparre NIO with Teslas Auto Bbusiness, but cantt compare Li with Musk lmao, orders of magnitude of differrence.
Yes, Elon is a clown.
Unakaa soldier ..i die 😂😂 ..hater
We need a short on your day to day make up
7qtr left 😂 pennies company
NIO stock down 90% since ATJ😂😂😂😅😅
Where's Nikola Tesla Free Energy technology?
William is an arrogant, stuck up non-engineer who does not even have an engineering degree. Unlike XPeng and BYD who at least have a decent amount of respect for Tesla, William seems to enjoy bad mouthing his counter parts just to make himself look good.
The problem is that even out of the 3 abovementioned Chinese car companies, he doesn't spend as much time in the factory as either of them, as all he is about is branding, marketing, and packaging. For a long time, they don't even own their own car factory (not even sure if they own one today and too lazy to google).
To add on, even a lot of the mainland Chinese don't like him.
Yes, they own the factories now
你的vision 是让更多人用ev,结果你是一个premium brand。这本身就是冲突的
马上出onvo大众品牌了
NIO will fly to the moon in long term with advanced technology with swap battery technology 🎉
Never compare Elon musk to other billionaires
Elon is a massive clown.
Elon is old
Garbage
10 years for profitability. replace this fool of a CEO
Can we put you as new CEO dckhead?
Nio can barely keep up with the Tier 1 EV competition inside China. This person has nothing to do with Elon Musk.
Bullsh.. guy..... sell the company mister LI
There is only one Elon!
NIO is good at marketing not as technological advanced as Tesla.
send link of evidence pls.. I’m curious of your knowledge in EV..
@@xxgaryxx3536 Give me evidences of NIO is superior than Tesla in tech. NIO outsources it's manufacturing, produces it's own battery?
