Chinese electric vehicle brand Nio plans to debut in Singapore in the first quarter of 2026, marking its first market in the Southeast Asia region.
The automaker announced in a press statement released on Monday that it will introduce its small electric hatchback called Firefly.
The car allows conventional electric vehicle charging, but it also enables swapping the battery with a completely charged unit within three minutes at Nio’s facilities.
For the first time, this launch will include a right-hand drive variant of the Firefly.
The Straits Times
reported.
Nio previously stated intentions to manufacture vehicles with right-hand drive alongside those with left-hand drive for regions including the U.K. and Southeast Asia. Distribution will be handled by the multi-brand automotive company Wearnes Automotive in Singapore.
Established in 2014, Nio made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange in 2018 and subsequently expanded to the Singapore and Hong Kong stock markets in 2022, as reported.

Nio is known for its battery swap technology, which is currently not permitted for passenger EVs in Singapore, though the system has been approved for motorcycles and is being tested on heavy vehicles.
The company and its local distributor Wearnes said they “will evaluate” introducing the technology in the city-state, but offered no specifics on when or how it might be implemented.
The arrival of Nio came after several other Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, such as JMEV earlier this month and Avatr at the end of July, according to reports.

Heavy rains in northern China have claimed at least 13 lives, with five people still missing, as authorities struggle to manage extreme weather that shows no sign of stopping soon.
State media reported that three bodies were recovered from floodwaters in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, while three others went missing near the banks of the Yellow River, roughly 70 kilometers away.
Monday’s downpour, the first of three consecutive storms forecast in the region, dumped more than 204 mm of rain in less than 24 hours, exceeding August’s monthly average by over double.
Earlier, on Saturday, a flash flood swept through Bayannur’s grasslands after a river burst its banks, killing at least ten people and leaving 13 campers stranded; one was rescued while two remain missing.
Search efforts by rescue crews persist in Ordos, close to Baotou—a key center for rare earth minerals—amid severe rain and floods posing risks to facilities and potentially forcing many from their homes.
Weather experts caution that intense precipitation connected to global warming presents increasing difficulties for officials, straining outdated flood protection systems, resulting in financial damage, and endangering millions of people living in northern China.
