Sobre IBD

Electric vehicles promised a clean break from gasoline-but they also brought with them new anxieties about charging times, battery degradation, and long-distance travel. In China, one company dared to answer those doubts not with bigger batteries or faster chargers, but with a different idea altogether: swap the battery, don’t stop the journey.Battery Swappers & Range Anxiety: The NIO Experiment traces the extraordinary rise of NIO and its audacious bet on battery swapping as infrastructure. From its precarious beginnings and financial lifelines to building thousands of robotic swap stations and launching the Battery-as-a-Service subscription model, the book offers the first complete narrative of how NIO reframed energy delivery as a service.Drawing on milestones in technology, policy, and industry collaboration, it documents how NIO aligned with utilities, fuel retailers, and real estate giants to create a network now counted in the thousands. It assesses battery chemistries, vehicle compatibility, grid integration, and environmental impacts with the rigor of fact-based history and the flow of a continuous narrative.This is more than the story of one automaker. It is a case study in how infrastructure, finance, and policy intersect to redefine what mobility and energy can mean in the 21st century.

    Geely’s rise is one of the defining industrial stories of the 21st-century car business-not because it followed the familiar path of a single brand climbing the ladder, but because it built modern automotive power the way the industry increasingly works: through platforms, capital, partnerships, and governance. From its beginnings in China’s reform-era private economy to its em...

BYD’s rise tracks an industrial transformation that began in Shenzhen’s fast-moving, export-facing manufacturing economy and grew into one of the defining automotive stories of th...

    SAIC’s ascent is one of the defining industrial stories of modern China: a Shanghai-based state enterprise that learned to build at world scale by combining policy mandate, foreign partnership, and an unforgiving culture of mass production. This book follows that trajectory from the city’s early workshops and planned-economy production routines through the reform-era opening th...

    Lancia’s story is one of engineering audacity meeting industrial constraint. From Turin in 1906, the company built a reputation for doing things the difficult way on purpose-pioneering structural ideas, refining ride and handling when most rivals still chased simple durability, and repeatedly treating innovation as a core identity rather than a marketing layer.That same identit...

    McLaren Automotive didn’t inherit a century of road-car tradition-it built a modern supercar business almost from first principles, using racing discipline as its operating system and carbon fibre as its defining architecture. From the MP4-12C onward, McLaren set out to prove that extreme performance could be engineered into a repeatable, warrantied, global product: light, stif...

    Etienne Psaila
    Lotus has always been more than a marque; it’s been a methodology. Built in a Britain that prized ingenuity over abundance, the company turned constraint into an advantage-treating mass as the enemy, structure as an art, and steering feel as a non-negotiable. From the earliest 'specials' and kit-car pragmatism through the defining road cars that taught the industry what handlin...
