In a May 2023 episode of "House of NIO," Dr. Shen Feng, Nio's Executive Vice President and Chairman of the Quality Management Committee, discussed the company's second factory at NeoPark in Hefei. He described the facility as highly flexible, capable of producing multiple models including the EC7 and second-generation vehicles. Shen stated that the factory incorporates over 1,000 robots and a high level of automation and digital control, which he said reduces manual labor and ensures consistent quality. He noted that the expansion plans include accommodating up to 10,000 R&D personnel and 40,000 technical workers, with an annual production capacity of up to one million vehicles. Shen reflected on his decision to join Nio in December 2017, saying he was attracted by CEO William Li's vision of delivering "the most beautiful car" and a "smart TV," as well as Nio's focus on areas beyond the vehicle itself, such as charging and battery swap stations. He described Nio as "the only one who has such a high vision" at that time. Shen also mentioned plans to open the factory to the public for tours, which he characterized as reflecting transparency and confidence in the manufacturing process.
