First Onvo EVNIO’s first mainstream crossover, with a similar shape to its more premium siblings, competes with Tesla’s Model Y, the world’s top-selling electric SUV, from nearly every perspective. The total energy consumption of the car is 12.1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per 100 kilometers, compared with the 12.5 kWh achieved by the Model Y, according to NIO. Cost savings also come from NIO and Onvo sharing research and development costs, among other synergies. The Onvo L60 embraces the vision-based approach advocated by Tesla, which uses cameras and artificial intelligence and gets rid of lidar sensors for autonomous driving. Onvo owners will only be able to use the company’s newer swap stations (the third- and fourth-generation ones) and will share the facilities with NIO’s partners.
