According to Nio, a Chinese electric car manufacturer, two individuals died when one of its vehicles fell from the third storey of its Shanghai headquarters.
In the collision, two people from the firm's partner company and one employee perished.
According to the company, the issue happened on Wednesday at around 17:20 local time. When the car fell from the structure, the persons who perished were inside.
According to Nio, an inquiry into the occurrence was launched right after in collaboration with government officials.
A showroom, a testing facility, or a parking lot have all been used to characterise the third-floor space where the automobile landed.
"To begin the investigation and study of the reason of the incident, our organisation has partnered with the public security department. We can first affirm that this was an accident (not caused by the car) based on our examination of the circumstances at the site, the business stated in a statement.
"We are deeply saddened by this event and would want to send our sincere condolences to our partner employee and colleague who passed away. To assist the families, a team has been organised, it was said.
It "shows the cold blood of capitalism," according to one response, while "the last statement is so uncaring," according to another. They [test drivers] arrived to test the car, but you claim that the car had nothing to do with the accident, right?
Another Weibo user remarked: "The public security agency should determine whether or not it is an accident." Since then, the automaker has produced a new statement that still refers to the collision as an accident but now includes the phrase "not caused by the vehicle" in parentheses to, ostensibly, downplay that aspect of the sentence. Now, "RIP" appears in every remark on the new post.
The Chinese initiative to dominate the electric car market is led by Nio. To allay customers' worries about needing to charge their cars frequently, it has placed a lot of faith in removable batteries in its vehicles.
The business is a rival to the US-based electric car manufacturer Tesla, owned by multi-billionaire Elon Musk, who also operates a sizable production facility in Shanghai.
