Recently, NIO released an exciting news. Li Bin, founder and CEO of NIO, personally drove the NIO ET7 to conduct an ultra-long battery life test, equipped with a 150-degree ultra-large capacity battery. The purpose of this test is to verify the range performance of the NIO ET7 in long-distance driving. After a 14-hour challenge, the NIO ET7 successfully drove more than 1,000 kilometers, setting an impressive mileage record.
In this test, Li Bin and Huang Chenxia, general manager of Tencent News Operations, drove the NIO ET7 together, and the entire trip was broadcast live in real time. Viewers witnessed their feat of relaying more than 1,000 kilometers through NIO's official live broadcast room. The NIO ET7 is equipped with a large 150kWh battery, which shows excellent battery life when taking a break in the service area halfway through.
According to real-time data, more than 2 million people watched Li Bin and his team through live broadcasts. Departing from Shanghai at 6:32 a.m. and passing through a series of service areas, they arrived at the Longjue East Service Area in Xiamen, Fujian Province, at 8:33 p.m. This process demonstrated the excellent performance and reliability of the NIO ET7 in long-distance driving.
Some industry analysts have questioned the NIO founder's personal involvement in endurance testing. They believe that CEOs don't need to personally control the testing process and should instead focus on strategic planning and business decision-making. However, Li Bin did not care about this and stressed the importance of security factors. He said that maintaining a speed of 90 km/h would provide more reaction time, which is very important given the live broadcast.
The final test results are encouraging. The NIO ET7 has traveled 1,044 kilometers using only 97% of its power, which is equivalent to 13 kilometers per 100 kilometersEnergy consumption of 2 kWh. Considering the size and weight of the NIO ET7, this is an excellent result. NIO also emphasized the significance of this test in the promotional poster, claiming that the range of smart pure electric vehicles has entered the era of 1,000 kilometers.
This feat marks the rapid development of smart electric vehicle technology and plays a positive role in driving the further growth of the clean energy vehicle market. The ultra-long range of the NIO ET7 provides consumers with more options for electric mobility, which is expected to further promote the market adoption and user acceptance of electric vehicles.
However, netizens still raised some questions about the way Li Bin drove the ET7 to conduct a range test at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour on the highway. They believe that such a speed may not be representative of most people's driving situation when used in practice, as many people usually choose a higher driving speed on the highway.
This is undoubtedly a reasonable point. In everyday use, many people may drive the vehicle at higher speeds, so range performance may vary. It also involves individual driving Xi and needs, as well as traffic laws and road conditions in different regions. For consumers, they are usually more interested in the endurance performance in actual use. Therefore, when choosing to buy an electric vehicle, in addition to referring to the official mileage, you also need to consider it in combination with your own use needs and driving Xi habits.
However, the challenges associated with the application of ultra-long-life batteries cannot be ignored. The first is the size and weight of the battery, which can affect the handling performance and overall design of the vehicle. Secondly, the cost of batteries and the construction of charging infrastructure are also bottlenecks for development. With the increasingly fierce competition in the electric vehicle market, solving these problems will be an important topic for the development of the industry.
NIO's ET7 ultra-long range test achieved satisfactory results, demonstrating the progress and innovation capabilities of electric vehicle technology. However, to achieve mass adoption of electric vehicles, we need continued technological innovation and market push. In the future, we look forward to seeing more breakthroughs in high-endurance battery technology and the vigorous development of the new energy vehicle industry.
