Performance
The Nio ET7 has a maximum power of 360 kW (490 hp / 483 bhp) and a total torque of 700 Nm (517 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The Nio ET7 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.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 580 to 505 km (361-314 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 12.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 14.0 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
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 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 51 minutes, needing four charging stops from 2% to 56%, totaling 91 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.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 445 to 385 km (277-239 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 12.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 14.0 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
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 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 49 minutes, needing three charging stops from 1% to 61%, totaling 89 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 6 hours and 24 minutes with a standard home setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is located on the left rear side, making it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 3.3 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.

The Nio ET7 offers multiple wheel options in different sizes. The available tire and wheel combinations include:
- 255/50 tires on 20" rims
- 255/45 tires on 21" rims
Narrower wheels improve consumption and provide a longer range, while wider wheels offer better traction and handling.
The car has four regular doors and a liftgate, which makes the trunk much more usable compared to a traditional bootlid, especially for a sedan.
Soft close is standard on the side doors.
The liftgate is electric-powered and has a kick-sensor as standard.
There is only one roof option for this model.
The standard roof includes a large panoramic glass roof extending from the front to the rear. The glass is tinted to protect against heat from the sun.
The windows from the B-pillar and back are tinted, which improves privacy and reduces glare and heat from the sun.
