NIO has previously said that the base prices of its models are essentially the same globally, with the difference being that they take into account factors including transportation costs, local taxes and operating costs in different regions.
If consumers choose to purchase the ET5 Touring or EL6 using the BaaS (battery as a service) model, the starting price in Germany is €12,000 lower for the 75-kWh version and €21,000 lower for the 100-kWh version.
It is worth noting that NIO's battery swap stations in Europe are only available to owners of vehicles purchased using the BaaS model. In China, these stations are available to all NIO consumers whether they purchase a model with batteries included or based on the BaaS model.
In addition to the purchase option, NIO also offers a subscription option in Europe. In Germany, for the EL6, if consumers choose a fixed-term subscription of 36 months, the monthly price is €1,179 for the 75-kWh version and €1,309 for the 100-kWh version.
