Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Nio EL7 packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 480 kW (653 hp / 644 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 850 Nm (627 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), making it a standout in its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The Nio EL7 is available with two battery options, each offering different specifications and performance metrics.

100kWh

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 90.0 kWh, providing 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.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 513 to 486 km (319-302 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 17.5 kWh/100 km for the base model and 18.5 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 513 km (319 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 17.5 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). 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 126 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 77 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 42 minutes with an average charging speed of 89 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 43%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 84 kW, with each charging session taking about 27 minutes and 52 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 17 minutes, needing four charging stops from 1% to 47%, totaling 118 minutes of charging time.

75kWh

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 75.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 70.5 kWh, providing 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.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 394 to 372 km (245-231 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 17.5 kWh/100 km for the base model and 18.5 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 394 km (245 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 17.5 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). 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 66 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 35 minutes with an average charging speed of 85 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 74%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 75 kW, with each charging session taking about 38 minutes and 39 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 48 minutes, needing four charging stops from 7% to 73%, totaling 148 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger
