Chinese electric car maker Nio confirms two deaths (Weibo)

In Shanghai, a Nio electric car crashed from its headquarters, killing two people.

The BBC reported that staff and employees from an associated company were in the car when it fell from the third floor on Wednesday.

The incident occurred around 5:20 pm (local time) in a facility on the third floor called the showroom, test site and parking lot.

The BBC reported that Nio had come under fire on Chinese social media after describing the case as “unrelated to the car itself”, later correcting it as “caused by the car”.

The statement said: “We are working with the Department of Public Safety to begin investigating and analyzing the cause of the accident.

“When we analyzed the situation on site, we were able to confirm that it was an accident (due to a car) at the beginning.”

He added: “I would like to express my deepest condolences to my colleagues and partners who were deeply saddened by this tragedy and lost their lives. A team was created to help the family.”

Nio, the best-selling premium brand in China, entered the Norwegian market in May last year and will be available in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark by the end of the year.

Earlier this month, Volkswagen Routy filed a lawsuit against Nio in a Munich court for infringing Audi’s trademark rights.

According to Audi, Nio’s decision to name the two models ES6 and ES8 violates Audi’s trademark designation on its own S6 and S8 models, reports German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Nio said it will start manufacturing proprietary high-voltage batteries in 2024 to improve profitability and competitiveness with competitors like Tesla.

Due to the general decline in production by major automakers after the two-month Covid-19 shutdown in Shanghai, quarterly shipments through June 30 were 25,768 units in the first quarter to 23,000 units and were expect them to reach 25,000 units.
