excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

The Chinese EV

NIO Inc. is a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer listed on the NYSE that was founded in 2014. The company is headquartered in Shanghai and aims to become an established alternative to other producers of electrical cars, riding on the waves created by the rising demand for EVs. NIO's product lineup includes electric SUVs, sedans, and advanced battery-swapping technology that enables rapid charging and enhances the overall convenience of EV ownership. With a strong emphasis on technological innovation, design, and sustainability, NIO aims to be one of the key players in the global shift toward electric transportation.

Popular on Home Turf

Founded in 2014 by William Li, NIO seized opportunities in the expanding EV market. Their vision to create high-performance EVs and advanced mobility solutions aligned with the global push for sustainability. The company's rapid growth can be attributed to strong financial backing from investors, enabling significant investments in R&D and manufacturing. Effective marketing and brand positioning, particularly in China, have also contributed to building a loyal customer base. NIO has positioned itself to compete directly with both EV-centered companies such as Tesla and Lucid, as well as traditional car manufacturers making the shift towards an electrified future.

Convenient and Quick Charging

NIO's rapid charging technology, known as the "Power Swap" system, is one of its notable features. The Power Swap system allows NIO owners to quickly exchange their electric vehicle's depleted battery with a fully charged one at dedicated NIO battery swap stations. This process takes only a few minutes, making it significantly faster than traditional charging methods. This is something that has been well-received in China and is being rolled out in various markets around the globe. NIO’s cars are also able to connect to a wide array of different charging stations from different providers.

Premium Vehicles for the EV-era

NIO places a significant emphasis on offering premium electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive market. Their approach centers on providing high-performance and technologically advanced EVs through modern features such as a cockpit with an advanced infotainment system, while also placing a focus on build quality and providing a product that feels robust and luxurious.
