History and Formation of Nio Inc.
Nio Inc. was founded in 2014 in the United States by entrepreneur William Li, with a mission to develop intelligent and sustainable electric vehicles. Since its inception, the company has positioned itself as a direct competitor to major industry players, relying on innovation and cutting-edge technology.
In its early years, Nio focused on developing high-performance electric vehicles, launching its first model, the Nio EP9 supercar, in 2016. The EP9 set speed records for electric vehicles, helping establish the brand within the premium segment.

In the following years, it introduced electric SUVs and sedans equipped with artificial intelligence, autonomous-driving technology, and high-efficiency batteries.
Beginning in 2020, Nio accelerated its global expansion, launching operations in Europe and exploring opportunities in additional markets. The company also introduced its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, enabling rapid battery swaps instead of traditional charging—a key competitive differentiator in the EV industry.
Between 2020 and 2024, Nio has faced challenges such as intensifying competition in the EV market, macroeconomic volatility, and substantial capital requirements for expansion. Nevertheless, the company continues to innovate and expand its infrastructure to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading premium electric-vehicle manufacturers.
