With the release of the latest system update, expats in China who wish to purchase Nio vehicles can finally put their main concerns to rest.

The lack of an English language user interface has prevented some Nio-loving expats in China from purchasing the company's vehicles. Now, that obstacle has been largely removed.

The capabilities of Nio's virtual voice assistant have also been enhanced. Instead of waiting for NOMI to respond before issuing voice commands, users can now wake it up and issue voice commands at the same time without pausing.

On top of that, Aspen 3.1.0 has a ton of detailed optimizations that Nio says they made based on over 2,000 user feedbacks.

Notably, earlier today, Nio announced that it has begun delivering the first firmware over-the-air update to Norwegian owners, signaling that the company's software team is ready to serve the local market.

Starting January 14, customers in Norway will be able to receive the new system, Aspen 3.0.5 NO, which is the first OTA update to be pushed outside of China.

Nio said the update includes new features that improve the winter user experience, including manual battery warm-up and an extended default time for carriage warm-up.

The update also has other experience enhancements, such as Power Assistant, which helps users search for charging facilities, and NOMI Debug, which allows users to give feedback to Nio using voice prompts.
