Nio ET9 is the latest model from the Chinese luxury electric car brand. At over 5.3 meters long, it is slightly longer than the Bentley Flying Spur.
The ET9’s 900-volt electrical architecture allows the four-seater to boast charging speeds of up to 600kW. At the fastest charging speed, 5 minutes of charging is said to give him a range of 255 km.
Like other Nio models, the ET9 is compatible with the brand’s battery swap station, which can complete swaps in 3 minutes.
Deliveries in China are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025.
In 2023, Nio delivered 160,038 units. The company has research and development facilities in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Singapore.
In May 2022, Nio successfully listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, making it the third company to list on the Singapore Stock Exchange after New York in 2018 and Hong Kong in March 2022.
