We also have an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections:

Performance

The Nio ET5 has a maximum power of 480KW (653hp). The total torque is 850nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 3,9 seconds. The top speed is 200 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

Nio ET5 has two battery options with different specifications. Below you see how this affects range and charging.

100kWh

The battery has a gross capacity of 100kWh and a net capacity of 90kWh, meaning you have a 10kWh buffer for protection. (10,0%). The WLTP range varies from 590 to 540 km (367-336 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 15,3kWh/100km for the basic version and 16,7kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 126kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 75 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 41 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 1% to 44% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 86kW. Each charge session would take 27 minutes and 2 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 23kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 58 minutes to drive. This trip will require four charge session(s) charging from 1% to 40%. The total time lost for charging will be 98 minutes.

75kWh

The battery has a gross capacity of 75kWh and a net capacity of 70,5kWh, meaning you have a 4,5kWh buffer for protection. (6,0%). The WLTP range varies from 456 to 419 km (283-260 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 15,3kWh/100km for the basic version and 16,7kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 140kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 65 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 34 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 7% to 74% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 77kW. Each charge session would take 37 minutes and 57 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 23kWh/100km, 1000km will take 10 hours and 26 minutes to drive. This trip will require four charge session(s) charging from 8% to 65%. The total time lost for charging will be 127 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 8 hours and 10 minutes.

Battery swap

This model support battery swap. Battery swap means you can drive to a unique battery swap station and get the battery replaced with a new battery with 90% SOC. The battery swap takes 7 minutes.

Drivetrain

Nio ET5 has an all-wheel drive system supported by two motors, one on each axle. The motors used are Induction Motors at front axle and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors at rear axle.

The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically. The minimum ground clearance is 150 mm, and the max is 150 mm.

Steering

Dynamic steering is standard on the Nio ET5. Dynamic steering varies the steering ratio as a function of driving speed.

Brakes

The rear and front brakes are cast-iron discs.

Regenerative braking is available in several modes. The most efficient is automatic regen. In this mode, the car coasts when possible and uses regenerative braking to reduce speed. You can also enable one-pedal driving.

Exterior

You can choose between 7 different paint colors when ordering this model. Additionally, you can choose between 2 wheels with sizes from 20 to 21 inches.

The car has four regular doors and a liftgate. Soft close are an standard function for the regular doors.

There is only one roof for this model. The standard is a panoramic roof.
