The ongoing Beijing Auto Show has seen the unveiling of a slew of new electric vehicles by various manufacturers. The 2024 Nio ET7 is an electric sedan and is a refresh of the entire Nio ET7 lineup of 2023. The new lineup comes with the same starting price as its predecessor even with its 180 upgrades.

The original Nio ET7 was launched in 2021 during the Nio Day 2020 event. The first deliveries of the model were achieved in March 2022 and the ET7 was the first Nio model based on the NT 2.0 platform. The 2023 Nio ET7 was launched at the Shanghai auto show in April 2023 and it had a starting price of 458,000 yuan ($63,204). Nio subsequently lowered the price of the 2023 ET7 by 30,000 yuan ($4,140) and offered the free battery swap service package as a paid option. The ET7 is a leading model among all-electric sedans in China, with more than 30,000 units already sold.

The 2024 ET7 comes in two variants – Executive and Executive Signature as compared with the standard and Signature Editions for its predecessor. The 2023 Nio ET7 was offered with a 100kWh battery pack that delivers substantial range to the EV. The new model’s Signature Edition picks from a 75kWh and 100kWh battery pack.

Pricing & Availability

The new Nio ET7 iteration comes with a starting price of 458,000 yuan ($63,204) for the standard range Executive Signature Edition while the long-range version is priced at 516,000 yuan ($71,208). The long-range version is 10,000 yuan ($1,380) higher than the starting price of its 2023 counterpart. This is the top-trim model of the lineup. The company has already started accepting customer order lock-ins for the 2024 ET7. Deliveries of the model will begin on April 30 but show cars are already available for test drives.

Nio tests its 1,000km range battery by live streaming a 14-hour road trip by the CEO across China

Chinese EV company Nio has successfully tested its 1,000km EV battery, with its CEO William Li livestreaming a 14-hour road trip using the battery. The road trip was between two Chinese cities and achieved a range of 1,044km with 3% of the battery remaining.

Nio is a strong rival to EV giant Tesla and the newly developed battery is a groundbreaking development. The 1,044km journey between Shanghai and Xiamen was undertaken by Nio CEO Li on December 17. Nio is already being referred to in some quarters as China’s Elon Musk (Musk is Tesla’s CEO). The battery was fitted in a Nio ET7 EV for the road trip which lasted 14 hours. The car was not recharged all through the trip even with a cold snap in the region and the fact that the car operated up to 3% of its battery level.

The battery itself is called the Nio 150kWh battery and CEO Li says it has the highest energy density of any mass-produced EV battery currently available. This is at the heart of its remarkable 1,000km range. No plans to begin the mass production of the 150kWh battery in April 2024.

Pricing

The battery will not come cheap – a unit will cost about 298,000 yuan ($42,000) which is worth the price of a Tesla Model Y in China. However, Nio allows its customers to buy its cars without a battery and subscribe to its battery swap service. Nio has more than 2,000 battery swap stations spread across China. Nio has not made any market breakthrough through its current business model and reported an average of $12,000 in losses for every EV it manufactures.

It is expected that the groundbreaking Nio 150kWh battery could stimulate demand for Nio cars and result in greater financial performance by the Chinese EV giant.
