Florian Otto has been working in different management positions in the automotive industry since 2009. After working for Audi and Mercedes, he has been responsible for communication in Europe at NIO since 2020.
As a journalist, Otto has worked in ARD, ZDF and the news channel N24 for 15 years. In 2008 he was allowed to drive the first Tesla in Germany as a journalist: his conclusion at the time:
If electro mobility is supposed to succeed in Germany, strategic rethinking is required not least among energy suppliers. Today Nio builds battery change stations across Europe. For Otto a USP that is already established thanks to NIO in China.
