Deana Mitchell, a video journalist with Voice of America News covers NIO’s NOMI, our in-vehicle artificial intelligence digital assistant.

At NIO, our core values are Honesty, Care, Vision, and Action. Not only are our core values reflected in our products and workplace, but also through our employees. We’re honored and proud to share that one of our very own NIO U.S. employees took action to take care of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A recent price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia caused crude oil prices to crater, touching off a debate about how lower gasoline prices might impact public adoption of electric vehicles. The short answer seems to be, not very much.

In the global spirit of community, as a first step, our colleagues in China produced a video to express their empathy to the global spread of COVID-19. We are pleased to share it with you as we continue to believe in better.

With offices in San Jose, Munich, and London, we are all doing our part in the global effort to contain the Coronavirus. As a global company, NIO employees outside of China took action to support our Chinese colleagues, users, and friends.

In the past, cars gave people the freedom of mobility. In the future, we believe cars will go one step further to free people from driving altogether, giving them the newfound freedom of time.

As mentioned in a previous post, our NIO Day on December 28, 2019 was produced entirely by our users, which are NIO vehicle owners. In addition to a resounding performance by the Blue Sky Chorus some interesting and insightful stories about NIO and NOMI (the first-ever in-vehicle artificial intelligence) were shared.

Both NIO and its users are tackling the coronavirus in China. Although the outbreak is severe, NIO and its user community are fighting together to combat the epidemic in different forms, both online and offline.

In the face of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, the health and safety of our NIO users and community are our top priority. On January 28, 2020, NIO’s User Trust Council held an emergency conference call to discuss a series of matters including how to combat this virus, how to offer useful and practical help to NIO users, and how to organize donations. The User Trust Council announced to raise RMB5 million (approximately $720,800 USD) to set up a Coronavirus Fund.

For our NIO Day on December 28, 2019, loyal NIO user and professional piano teacher, Sun Lei, drove five hours round trip in her NIO ES6 from her home in Guangzhou to Shenzhen twice per week in December. The reason? To make NIO’s first-ever user-produced NIO Day a smashing success.
