After test-driving one of JAC Group's vehicles, Artem Usov, a vlogger from Russia, still wanted to do it again. "I saw that electric vehicles enjoyed great popularity in Hefei, and I had a chance to take one for a spin myself today. Even at 130 km/h, the ride was very smooth. It is so great."

She continued that "NIO's production lines are highly efficient, and the environment of its factory is neat, meeting the customized requirements of customers. It demonstrates a sustainable mode of production."
