William Li: China’s answer to Elon Musk in luxury EV market | Talk to Al Jazeera
Рет қаралды 63,905
Ай бұрынHafei, in eastern China, is at the forefront of a technological revolution.
In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, we explore NIO, led by William Li, known as "China's Elon Musk".
NIO's innovative, swappable battery technology challenges conventional electric vehicle (EV) charging, promising more than 1,000km (about 621 miles) per charge.
Despite financial turbulence, workforce reductions, and market scepticism, NIO has rapidly grown with significant state support.
We examine NIO's global impact and discuss the future of the EV industry with CEO William Li, considering innovation, market forces, and international politics.

their technologies are completely different. why Western media always like to describe Chinese EVs as China's answer to Tesla? when report news about BYD, China's answer to Telsa. NIO, China's answer to Tesla. Geely, Zeekr, Li auto, China's answer to Tesla. I mean NIO use swap battery, Li auto are completely different from sedan. how they are the same? beside there's electric mode, you have to put every EVs as Telsa rivals? they are just different products, BYD even has hybrid, Tesla has hybrid? NIO swap battery, Tesla swap battery? Li auto produce big family SUV, Tesla product same? BYD produce U8 , Tesla produce rotating and floatable cars?

I always hoped that Nio can be mainstream as they are going into battery swap tech. One of the issues with EVs is that the battery degradates after sometime and it is difficult to imagine a 2nd hand EV has good value (because the range of an old battery is lower). As such battery swap makes more sense as the buyer has lesser risk of holding degraded batteries in their cars.

have you used it? This is not a cheap solution it cost CNY100-150 for 7 days. I think charging in China at home around CNY 0.5/kwh. If EV is the future charging infrastructure most people use is at home as most people use less than 20% of the time. I also think current batteries technology has a lifespan of another 10 years.

William is an arrogant, stuck up non-engineer who does not even have an engineering degree. Unlike XPeng and BYD who at least have a decent amount of respect for Tesla, William seems to enjoy bad mouthing his counter parts just to make himself look good. The problem is that even out of the 3 abovementioned Chinese car companies, he doesn't spend as much time in the factory as either of them, as all he is about is branding, marketing, and packaging. For a long time, they don't even own their own car factory (not even sure if they own one today and too lazy to google).
