Nio (NYSE: NIO), one of China’s electric vehicle (EV) trailblazers, continues to expand its business across China, possibly setting itself up for international success.
The firm opened its largest service center in China, namely, in Shanghai’s Songjiang district, as reported by CnEVPost on August 18.
The center represents Nio’s 10th in the city, covering a broad area of 12,000 square meters, with 70 service bays and 129 standard parking spaces, offering maintenance, metalwork, painting, vehicle diagnostics, and a car wash. Alongside these, the center will also have a showroom offering test drives and rides.
