Nio EC6

Performance

The Nio EC6 has a maximum power of 360 kW (490 hp / 483 bhp) and a total torque of 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The Nio EC6 is available with two battery options, each offering different specifications and performance metrics.

75kWh

The battery has a gross capacity of 75.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 70.5 kWh, with a 4.5 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 386 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.

The vehicle's range, according to the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, is 625 km (388 miles).

The energy consumption is 11.3 kWh/100 km based on the CLTC standard test.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 140 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 69 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 29 minutes with an average charging speed of 101 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 2% to 58%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 100 kW, with each charging session taking about 24 minutes and 40 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 53 minutes, needing four charging stops from 2% to 57%, totaling 93 minutes of charging time.

100kWh

The battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 90.0 kWh, with a 10.0 kWh buffer (10.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 358 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

The vehicle's range, according to the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, is 625 km (388 miles).

The energy consumption is 11.3 kWh/100 km based on the CLTC standard test.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 180 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 70 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 30 minutes with an average charging speed of 127 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 78%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 112 kW, with each charging session taking about 37 minutes and 58 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 32 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 76%, totaling 72 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

Brakes

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are four levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative braking power is 150 kW.
