Nio, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has opened a new Nio House in Hamburg, Germany, signaling its continued expansion into the European market. The showroom, located in the city center, aims to serve as a hub for local residents and Nio users, fostering connections and community engagement.
This new location in Hamburg marks Nio’s fourth Nio House in Germany, adding to its existing facilities in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Dusseldorf. The strategic placement of the Hamburg showroom is expected to enhance the brand’s visibility and reach in one of Germany’s key metropolitan areas.

The opening of the Hamburg Nio House follows closely on the heels of another major milestone for the company in Europe. In May, Nio inaugurated its largest European showroom in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This eight-story facility underscores Nio’s commitment to the region and provides a comprehensive showcase of its latest EV offerings.
Nio’s expansion efforts in Europe come amidst regulatory challenges. The European Commission recently announced plans to impose additional tariffs on EVs imported from China, with tariffs reaching as high as 38.1 percent for some manufacturers. Nio, along with other Chinese EV makers, will face an additional 21 percent weighted average tariff.
