In the Q3 financial report conference call, NIO Chairman Li Bin said that the first car of the second brand Alpine has recently completed the trial production of a VB car (Verification Build Development Verification Trial Prototype Car).

He said: This is the best new VB model in our history, and we are very confident in the competitiveness of our car. Sales will be separate. NIO does not plan to share stores with Alps, but will share part of the service network.

NIO President Qin Lihong previously stated that “Alpine” and “Firefly” are NIO’s internal project code names, not brand names. “Alpine” is mainly aimed at the mid-range market, and its direct competitors are products from brands such as Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

Regarding the power swap network, he said that NIO’s power swap network will have a “dedicated network” and a “shared network” in the future. Starting next year, the shared network will be built. The Alpine brand will use the shared network, and NIO users can use the shared network. .

Interpreted based on what he expressed before, NIO will start to work with other third-party partners to build a “shared power exchange network” next year, and this “shared network” can be used by NIO, Alps and other brands. The private network only serves the NIO brand.

 We decided to open NIO’s second brand, the standard battery pack for the mass market brand, to everyone. After the opening up, we have seen that these Chinese automobile companies are very active. Two have already announced contracts, and several others are in the process of negotiation. Therefore, we believe that NIO’s service capabilities, technical level, and basic network construction are all what they need. They also see the advantages of NIO’s services from the perspective of user interests.

He also mentioned that NIO’s dedicated network will continue to be built, but the specific number is still under study.

It is found that as of December 5, NIO has built 2,196 power swap stations, including 694 highway power swap stations, 3,480 charging stations (20,441), and 960,000+ three-way piles.

In November this year, NIO delivered 15,959 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 12.6%. From January to November 2023, NIO delivered a total of 142,026 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 33.1%. NIO has delivered a total of 431,582 new cars.

As of press time, NIO officials have not yet announced the news, and official information is expected to be released this afternoon. It is worth mentioning that among the new car-making forces, Lideal and Xpeng both have independent production qualifications, which means they no longer need to rely on other OEMs. However, Weilai is an exception. It is still manufactured by JAC, and the cars sold need to be posted The tail mark of “JAC”.

However, at the end of October this year, JAC Motors announced that the company planned to transfer some of its assets through public listing. Involving the inventory, fixed assets, projects under construction, buildings and land use rights of the Passenger Car Company’s third factory, as well as the structures and equipment assets of the Passenger Car Company’s Xinqiao factory, the proposed listing price is 4.498 billion RMB, with a value added of 286 million RMB , the value-added rate is 6.79%. According to people familiar with the matter, the two factories involved in the asset transfer of JAC are actually the two factories cooperating between JAC and NIO, namely the NIO F1 factory and the NIO F2 factory.

There is a precedent for obtaining independent car manufacturing qualifications through the acquisition of factories. This year, Li Auto acquired Beijing Hyundai Shunyi Factory and finally obtained the production qualifications for new energy passenger vehicles including extended-range models. In the era of the rise of new car-making forces, in order to avoid qualification restrictions, more brands choose the OEM model, including brands such as Peng, Leapmotor and Li. In 2017, Xpeng found Haima Automobile for cooperation in production. As Xpeng’s production bases in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, Guangzhou, Guangdong, and Wuhan, Hubei were completed and put into production, Xpeng gradually bid farewell to the OEM model.

Leapmotor was also produced by Changjiang Automobile. When it was first established, Leapmotor was responsible for completing the stamping, welding, painting and other steps of parts production, and the final process was handed over to Changjiang Automobile. However, Leapmotor has made it clear from the beginning that it will transition from OEM to self-built factories. After obtaining the qualification as expected in 2021, it will get rid of its OEM dependence on Yangtze Motor.

It is worth noting that more and more new car-making forces are choosing to abandon OEM. The main reason is that the OEM model has disadvantages such as high costs, and OEM is also subject to the production and quality control capabilities of traditional automobile companies. Of course, there are still some consumers who have concerns about the cognitive bias of the original OEM brand. For manufacturers, taking the initiative in the entire car-making process into their own hands not only facilitates rapid iteration of models, but also improves efficiency if major and in-depth reforms are carried out in the future.

There have been a lot of big events in Nio Auto recently. We can take a look below:

At the beginning of the month, NIO announced delivery data for November, with a total of 15,959 new cars delivered, a year-on-year increase of 12.6% and a month-on-month decrease of 0.7%. In the 2023 sales data, delivery peaks were reached from July to August, which were 20,462 and 19,329 units respectively. This part of the factor benefited from the strong sales performance of the new ES6 after its launch. Since then, the delivery results have declined. From January to November 2023, NIO delivered a total of 142,026 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 33.1%. NIO has delivered a total of 431,582 new cars.

NIO charging piles are open to all new energy users, and 80% of the charging capacity is provided to non-NIO users.

Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of Nio, said that the cost of a 150 kWh battery is very high, and the cost is equivalent to an ET5 (Note: The 75kWh battery version costs 328,000 CNY and the lease price is 258,000 CNY). Therefore, consumers can choose to lease the battery pack and only need to pay the battery rental service fee on a monthly basis. It is said that “the battery pack uses ultra-high nickel positive electrode + pre-lithiated silicon carbon negative electrode + solid electrolyte (solid + liquid) + separator, which belongs to the transitional technology from liquid to solid battery”, which can bring users longer mileage and More convenient battery replacement service.
