Norway is the beachhead for the Chinese EV invasion, more specifically, NIO’s ambition to conquer Europe. NIO started selling the ES 8, which is a 7 seater SUV, in Norway starting 3rd quarter 2021 and so far, sales can only be described as niche, having sold only 350 units till the beginning of March. However, sales are definitely improving quarter-on-quarter as seen in 3.00 in the video. Another milestone for NIO will come later this month when the ET 7 sports sedan is launched in Oslo. Let’s see whether China can win over Europeans in the coming months.
