Kuaifu Technology reported on November 1 that according to Cailian, in response to today’s report that “NIO’s third brand will adopt hybrid products are expected to be available in 2026”, NIO’s president Qin Lihong responded: NIO’s third brand FIREFLY Firefly will be released on NIO Day 2024 and will continue to adopt the pure electric technology route that can be charged, replaced and upgraded.
Previously, some media reports said that NIO, which has always adhered to the pure electric technology route, is deploying hybrid powertrains.
Its third-brand Firefly project will use extended range hybrid power, and the product is expected to be available in 2026.
At the same time, information released on the NIO recruitment website on October 30 showed that the company is recruiting power NVH engineers.
This position requires candidates to have NVH-related development capabilities for intake and exhaust systems.
Previously, NIO Chairman and CEO Li Bin had repeatedly stated that NIO, including Le Tao and Firefly, had no plans to launch hybrid products.
In fact, NIO is currently one of the few new energy vehicle companies in China that still adheres to a single pure electric technology route.
Due to the existence of power exchange stations and fast-charging piles, NIO owners ‘anxiety about battery life is not obvious, and their desire for fuel tanks is not strong.
According to data provided by NIO, NIO refers to houses within 3 kilometers of the car owner from the power exchange station as “electric zone houses”.
At present, the coverage rate of electric zone houses by car owners nationwide has exceeded 80%.
In addition, as of October 28, NIO has deployed 2601 power exchange stations across the country, of which 868 are high-speed power exchange stations.
The absolute number of power exchange stations ensures that car owners have a convenient experience of replacing electricity.
In addition, NIO has built 4067 charging stations, 23911 charging piles, and 1.
1 million three-way piles.
The number of charging stations and charging piles ranks first among domestic automobile companies.
