Ngolunye usuku sikubonise i- Indalo yokuqala ye-NIO, umqondo we-EVE. Ukukhulelwa kwakhe kwalandela impumelelo yokuqala yemoto yezemidlalo ephezulu EP9, kodwa noma kunjalo, ifemu idinga imali yakwamanye amazwe ukuze iqhubeke nezinhlelo zayo zokwandisa umhlaba wonke. Umnikazi wesabelo oyinhloko akashodi ngemali, kodwa eminyakeni yokuqala yenkampani emkhakheni wezimoto (nanoma yikuphi) ishisa imali kuphela.
Ukuze uthuthukise isimo sakho sekhredithi, I-NIO ingene ochungechungeni lwezingxoxo nezinkampani eziningi ezisekelwe kwezobuchwepheshe. Ngokunengqondo, ukuxhumana kwenziwe phakathi kwezinkampani ezisebenza noma ezinentshisekelo eqinile eChina, njengoba kubonakala sengathi ezinye izinkampani zomhlaba zisanqikaza ukubamba iqhaza kumaphrojekthi alolu hlobo.
Inhlangano eyinhloko ku bathole ukwesekwa kwezomnotho kube umdondoshiya we-inthanethi waseShayina u-Baidu. Inkampani yakwaGoogle encintisana nayo ezweni lase-Asia ifana neMelika elangazelela ukungena emhlabeni wamasondo amane. Ngalesi sizathu, labo ababhekelele i-NIO akuzange kudingeke babancenge kakhulu ukuthi babanikeze isheke lasebhange elibiza izigidi ezingamakhulu ambalwa zamadola.
Njengoba kushiwo ukukhishwa kwabezindaba omunye walabo ababhekele i-NIO kumaReuters "Singaqinisekisa ukuthi i-Baidu ihole ekutshalweni kwezimali kulo mjikelezo wezimali". Kubonakala sengathi i-Baidu ayizange ikhulume ngokusemthethweni ukuthi ingakanani imali eyinikeze abantu be-NIO, kodwa ngokusho kwe-Reuters, inani lingaba cishe ezigidini ezingu-600 zamadola.
Ngale mali, I-NIO kulula ukuqhubeka nokuthuthukiswa kwamamodeli ayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi lokhu kuwumjikelezo wokuqala wabatshalizimali okufanele wenziwe, ngakho-ke kamuva sizoba “neminikelo” emisha futhi enamanzi. Okwamanje, ngoba Padmasree Warrior, I-CEO ye-NIO, ingaphezu kokwanele, ngoba ibanikeza ithuba lokuqala indlela eya ekukhiqizeni u-Eva.
Sizobe sinake ukuvela kwemicimbi, ngoba kubonakala sengathi i-NIO izoba nokusekelwa ngezimali kwezinkampani ezinkulu. Ngaye ngeke babe nenkinga enkulu yokwethula amamodeli abo kanye nokuncintisana ikhanda noTesla kanye nemikhiqizo emikhulu yaseJalimane.
