NIO and XPeng are also taking Norway as their gateway to European markets. In September last year, Xpeng exported its first batch of the G3s to Norway and at the beginning of this year, it shipped another batch of new vehicles to the Northern country.

On May 6, NIO officially announced its market entry into Norway. The startup will start to deliver the ES8, its first mass-produced model, in September, a month later than the delivery of the BYD Tange EV. Along with the model, NIO will also launch its battery swapping service in Norway.
