All prices do not include €950.According to NIO’s Q2 2021 earnings report, the cost of transporting vehicles to Europe has been included in the vehicle cost, and all three second-generation NIO models sold in Europe only come with a five-year warranty period. Additionally, free battery replacement is not available except for battery-as-a-service (BaaS) users who are entitled to two free battery swaps per month at NIO’s Power Swap stations. This is a significant reduction in benefits compared to the ten-year warranty and four free battery replacement services offered in the domestic market.
