Nio already has more than 720 employees in Europe, most of whom joined within six months, William Li said.

Nio is building a 600-square-meter Nio House in the Netherlands, which is expected to open early next year, Li said earlier this week.

Last month, Nio sent the first ET7s to Europe via three ships, and the company said at the time that ET7s would be open for pre-orders for consumers in countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and deliveries would begin this year.

Nio will hold Nio Berlin 2022, its European launch event, in Berlin on October 7, the company said on September 22. Themed "A New Horizon", the event will be live-streamed globally at 18:00 Central European Time (0:00 Beijing time on October 8), it added.

In a live broadcast by Chinese media outlet Dongchedi, Qin said that Nio is launching the ET7, ET5 and ES7 at the Nio Berlin 2022 event.

The ET7, ET5 and ES7 are all Nio models based on the second-generation NT 2.0 platform.
