Nio Finds Way to Cut EV Price: Don’t Buy the Battery

Nio is offering to cut about $10K off the price of a new EV if you lease the battery instead of buy it under its Battery as a Service subscription.

Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio Inc. is offering a way to save EV buyers big money when they purchase their vehicle: don’t buy the battery pack.

The company is introducing a battery leasing service, letting buyers purchase an EV without owning the battery pack instead leasing it. The program is called Battery as a Service, or BaaS, and owners pay a monthly lease of about $140 for the battery. The service is available on the ES8, ES6 or EC6 models and the 70 kWh battery.

Currently, Nio sells vehicles in China, but not in the U.S. so the service is only available in China. The EV maker’s least expensive vehicle starts at 273,600 yuan, or $39,553, for the ES6 sport-utility vehicle without the battery pack. If you add the battery, the price rises to 343,600 yuan, or about $49,627.

Nio formed a joint venture to take care of the battery subscription.

“We believe with BaaS, more customers of gasoline cars will consider electric vehicles,” Nio’s Chief Executive William Li told reporters. To make it work, the company formed a joint venture named the Wuhan Weineng Battery Asset Co. Ltd.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd, or CATL, Hubei Science Technology Investment Group Co., Ltd. and a subsidiary of Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited are in on the deal with Nio. Each partner invested $28.89 million and holds a 25% stake in the new company.

Nio has long advocated for battery-swapping instead of recharging your vehicle. The company has 143 battery-swapping stations around China. Li said Nio was building a new battery-swapping station in China every week and planned to build 300 new stations next year.

As for a potential move to the U.S., Li said the company was looking to enter some international markets – starting in Europe – starting in the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022. He did not offer a specific reference to when the company will move into the U.S. market.

Chinese EV Maker Nio is swapping batteries instead of plugging them in to “recharge” them at more than 140 locations across the country.

The announcement reveals just how important the subsidies from the Chinese government can be to EV makers there. In March, Nio was scrambling to find cash to support its operations, including tapping municipal and private investor funding.

Nio had a cash balance of just $151.7 million on Dec. 31. That amount of cash would not carry the company forward for vehicle development, production, etc. for the next 12 months, the company noted at the time.

The EV maker has been looking for ways to remain viable, attempting to work out an agreement with the Hefei city government to raise more than 10 billion yuan, or about $1.42 billion, and set up new manufacturing facilities.

The company also made several private placements of convertible notes in February and March for an aggregate principal amount of $435 million to support its operations and business development. It ultimately raised a little more than $1 billion.

Fisker Going Public on NYSE, Expected to Raise $1 Billion

Henrik Fisker has reason to be all smiles with his company’s plan to go public coming to fruition.

A week after the first rumblings, Fisker Inc. confirmed today its partnering with Apollo Global Management Inc. to take the electric vehicle maker public, netting the new Fisker $1 billion to help it get its first offering, the Ocean, into production.

The company will merge with Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp., a shell company formed by Apollo Global Management Inc., and then move to an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. Using a shell company to facilitate the move is a common practice when taking a company public.

After the offering, some expect the new Fisker will be worth of nearly $3 billion at the $10.00 per share PIPE price  – the price of stock that investors will pay, usually lower than the publicly traded price – and assuming minimal redemptions by Spartan shareholders. The deal is expected to be complete during the fourth quarter of this year.

(Fisker going public through merger with investor-backed shell company.)

The deal will give the Los Angeles-based company the capital it needs to get the Ocean SUV into production and on the road in 2022, according to the company.

Henrik Fisker’s newest electric vehicle entry, the Ocean, is expected to arrive in 2022.

“Today, the realization of the world’s first digital car company took another major step forward, advancing our mission to commercialize the world’s most emotional and sustainable vehicles, while upholding our vision of a clean future for all,” Founder Henrik Fisker said in a statement.

“We are excited to partner with Apollo, a world-class financial institution who brings deep industry expertise, extensive global relationships and a shared commitment to ESG. This vote of confidence from investors, coupled with our exciting progress on the development of our first vehicle, lays out Fisker’s path to 2022 and beyond.”

Though the additional funds are important for certain, where the Ocean – and any potential siblings – will be built has yet to be settled. The most likely candidate is Magna International, which builds vehicles for several automakers; however, that hasn’t been confirmed. It’s also reported that Volkswagen’s MEB platform could be used to accelerate production.

(Fisker sale in the works, could take EV startup in public.)

As with Tesla and the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Fisker Ocean will be offered in several different configurations, starting with a base version, priced at $37,499, which uses a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. All other versions will have twin motors providing through-the-road all-wheel-drive.

The AWD package makes 225 kilowatts, or 302 horsepower, and the company plans to reveal an “ultra-high-performance” version next year that promises to launch from 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds.

Fisker shows off the company’s app, which gives users a variety of options and functions.

The standard battery pack is 80 kilowatt-hours, and the company expects range of around 300 miles, though the final EPA numbers won’t be released until later this year. If the figures hold, it would make the Ocean one of the most efficient EVs on the market, potentially yielding even better miles-per-kilowatt than Tesla delivers. It certainly would look good against the Audi e-tron which manages just 204 miles per charge despite having a 95 kWh pack.

Charging to 80% on a 150-kilowatt quick charger will take about 30 minutes, Fisker claims. While pricing has been released, those interested in driving one will not be forced to buy the Ocean as the company plans to have a robust leasing enterprise.

“Drivers of the Fisker Ocean SUV will also benefit from our unique flexible lease program that maximizes affordability, while delivering unrivaled ownership flexibility,” Fisker said. “Deployed through our proprietary app, our leasing model has been designed to appeal to customers looking for the ultimate in sustainable mobility and freedom from traditional and restrictive leasing programs.”

(By the numbers: Fisker offers plenty of specs on the all-electric Ocean SUV.)

The startup hasn’t revealed all of its pricing figure yet, but it noted during the vehicle’s debut earlier this year it will offer a “flexible,” essentially open-ended, lease starting at $379 a month. Meanwhile, it is planning to include free charging using Electrify America stations, though details have yet to be revealed.
