Chinese EV Quality After 8 Years | Nio ES8 Founders Edition
Chinese EV Quality After 8 Years | Nio ES8 Founders Edition There is this line of thinking that Chinese EVs (or any Chinese made cars) are of poor quality. Even in comments on some of my videos, folks (who have never even driven a Chinese EV or ICE car before) proudly claim that these cars will rust and fall apart in 2 years. This is why on my last trip to China I decided to rent an 8 year old Nio ES8 Founders Edition EV SUV with over 160,000 KM to see for myself how "bad" these old Chinese EVs really are. The Nio ES8 Founders Edition that I drove is a rental car, so as you can imagine it wasn't treated as well as you would treat your own vehicle. So how was it? Is it just Chinese junk that will fall apart in 2 years like comments claim? Well, watch the video and find out how the Nio ES8 Founders Edition did on my few days with the vehicle. 00:00 - Introduction To Nio ES8 Founders Edition 02:52 - Interior and Exterior Overview 14:28 - Rosie Tests The Zero Gravity Seat 16:19 - Introduction To Shanghai Road Trip 17:31 - On The Road In Shanghai 19:40 - Driving Impressions And Issues 22:49 - Final Thoughts ✅ JOIN US IN CHINA FOR ADVENTURE EV TOURS: https://chinaevtours.com/ ✅ Buying a Tesla?
