AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/29 Report--

As the automobile enterprise with the largest delivery volume of new force in China, NIO Automobile has never lacked topics. It has caused heated discussion on the Internet due to many events, including some words and commitments of Chairman Li Bin, owner Xinjiang trip, owner northeast trip, etc. Recently, another ES8 owner has set out to challenge the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line.

On March 28, on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line known as the "most dangerous highway", some netizens photographed a Shenzhen license plate NIO ES8 being supplemented by the road, while the supplementary tram was an Iveco diesel car provided by NIO Automobile One-button Power-on Service.

As far as we know, the generator on the diesel vehicle can continuously generate electricity after adding diesel oil, as a power supply for the ES8 electric vehicle on the way. In addition to the diesel fuel itself, the diesel car that means "accompanying" also needs to consume extra fuel to power up the ES8 before the ES8 can continue to drive.

Weibo big V, car critic Chen Zhen said: "Sigh... this is the IQ problem, whether it is the person who did this, or the person who publicized this matter."

Another car critic expressed the same view, Han Lu said: "This is really sick... I also especially do not approve of Wei Lai's own propaganda of this environment their car can go."

"Diesel car power-up" is not the first time Wei Lai tried to use, two months ago the owner northeast, Wei Lai also sent diesel car full power generation for ES8 power-up. According to the owner, due to the limitations of the electric vehicle, ES8 must be powered up about every 150 kilometers, diesel generator consumes about 25 liters of diesel oil per hour, plus diesel IVECO's own fuel consumption, finally calculated, Wei Lai every 100 kilometers to consume 35 liters ~40 liters of diesel oil, but also need two staff members to accompany. Earlier, Wei Lai's official practice was to send Isuzu fuel scooters to escort "plus trolleys" and run back and forth between charging piles and owners to power up the owner's ES8.

The people who publicized this matter were Li Bin, chairman of NIO, and NIO Automobile.

Wei Lai founder Li Bin once said, Wei Lai provides more convenient service than refueling,"Today any place where a gasoline car can go in China, Wei Lai can support our ES8 to go."

In addition, NIO officials have also publicized that we can go wherever oil trucks can go.

For this ES8 318 Sichuan-Tibet trip behavior, not only car critics scolded, netizens also felt very ridiculous.

A NIO ES8 owner who participated in the 318 Sichuan-Tibet trip responded, at least NIO boss Li Bin said he did it. The ES8 owner, who claimed to know the car, also said on Weibo that he had owned a Mercedes BMW and later sold the car to choose Wei Lai. As for being ridiculed by netizens as a fool and Wei Lai's navy, he thought it didn't matter.

From the owner's words, the ES8 318 Sichuan-Tibet trip originated from Li Bin's promise to "support ES8 owners to go anywhere in China". A lot of what he said has caused many controversial incidents on the Internet, even leading to direct attacks on electric vehicles online. Although Li Bin has made many explanations, some of his "exaggerated" words in the public face will really make netizens feel disgusted. As a representative of a company, perhaps Li Bin said something similar, Wei Lai's public opinion situation will be better than now.

NIO is an electric vehicle company focusing on environmental protection concept. One of the reasons for making electric vehicles is to realize carbon emission reduction of automobiles. So "diesel vehicle supply, diesel generator supplement electricity" behavior, Wei Lai still feel environmental protection? Shen Fei, vice president of NIO, once said that diesel vehicle power-on is an effective measure in pile-free areas. Through this means, more users who occasionally go to pile-free areas can eliminate anxiety and choose electric vehicles, which is very environmentally friendly.
