Performance
The Nio ET9 packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 520 kW (707 hp / 697 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.8 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 high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 120.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 112.0 kWh, providing a 8.0 kWh buffer (6.7%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 925 volts, it qualifies as an 800-volt battery system. This high voltage is pivotal in enabling the system's charging capabilities.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 600 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 32 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 14 minutes with an average charging speed of 325 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 63%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 262 kW, with each charging session taking about 15 minutes and 53 seconds. This exceptionally fast charging capability makes the Nio ET9 one of the most efficient and convenient EVs for long-distance travel.
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 8 hours and 45 minutes, needing two charging stops from 6% to 55%, totaling 26 minutes of charging time.
