With the continuous progress of science and technology, the new energy vehicle industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. As a leading electric vehicle manufacturer in China, NIO recently announced that its 150-degree ultra-long range battery pack will be officially launched in the second quarter, which undoubtedly brought great surprises to the majority of electric vehicle enthusiasts. NIO models equipped with this battery pack will have a range of up to 1,055 kilometers, making electric mobility more convenient and efficient.
1. 150-degree battery pack: battery life exceeds 1,000 and technology is leading.
NIO's 150-degree battery pack is the largest battery pack mass-produced in domestic passenger cars, and it uses a solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte, which is a semi-solid-state battery. Compared with traditional liquid electrolyte batteries, semi-solid-state batteries have higher energy density and better safety. The energy density of NIO's 150-degree battery pack is as high as 360Wh kg, surpassing the 255Wh kg of CATL Kirin battery, and it is currently the product with the highest power and highest energy density that can be mass-produced in China.
The research and development of this battery pack has taken many years, and it embodies a lot of hard work and technology accumulation of NIO. Li Bin, CEO of NIO, once showed the NIO ET7 equipped with a 150-degree battery pack in a live broadcast, with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. This achievement is not only impressive, but also fully demonstrates NIO's leading position in the field of electric vehicle technology.
Second, the cost is high, but it is worth the money.
Although the cost of NIO's 150-degree battery pack is quite high, it is even equivalent to an ET5 (75kWh battery version of the vehicle 32.).80,000 yuan, lease 2580,000 yuan), but in the long run, the value of this battery pack is immeasurable. First of all, the long cruising range will greatly improve the convenience of electric vehicles, so that users no longer have to worry about charging. Secondly, the application of semi-solid-state battery technology will improve the safety and reliability of electric vehicles, bringing users a more secure driving experience.
Qin Lihong, president of NIO, has revealed that the cost of NIO's 150 kWh battery is indeed high, but this is because of its use of advanced technology and high-quality materials. NIO has always been user-centric and is committed to providing users with more high-quality and high-performance electric vehicle products. Therefore, despite the high cost, the NIO 150-degree battery pack is still worth the money and is worth the user's expectation and ownership.
3. The construction of battery swap stations and charging piles to improve the power supply experience.
In addition to the launch of 150-degree battery packs, NIO also plans to build another 1,000 battery swap stations and add 20,000 charging piles throughout the year. This initiative will further improve the user's charging experience, making charging and swapping of electric vehicles more convenient and efficient. NIO's network of battery swap stations and charging piles has been quite complete, covering many cities and regions across the country. With the increasing number of battery swap stations and charging piles, NIO users will enjoy more convenient and fast charging and battery swapping services.
In addition, NIO also plans to deploy a first-class battery swap station and a 640kW fully liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging pile. These next-generation facilities will incorporate more advanced technology and design concepts to further improve the speed and efficiency of charging and battery swapping. Users can complete the charging or battery swapping operation in less time, saving more time for enjoying the fun of driving.
Fourth, the financial performance is stable, and the future development is promising.
According to the financial report released by NIO, its fourth-quarter revenue was 1710 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 65%；The net loss was 5367.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 72%, a month-on-month increase of 178%。Although the net loss is still there, it has improved significantly compared to before. This shows that NIO is making positive progress in terms of cost control and profitability.
On a GAAP basis, NIO's adjusted net loss was 4801.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 52%, a month-on-month increase of 215%。Although the adjusted net loss also increased, the overall trend still showed a gradual improvement. This shows that NIO has been able to maintain a steady development momentum despite many challenges, laying a solid foundation for future development.
5. Conclusion: NIO is leading a new era of electric mobility.
As a leading electric vehicle manufacturer in China, NIO has always been driven by technological innovation to provide users with high-quality and high-performance electric vehicle products. The launch of the 150-degree battery pack will further improve the range and performance of NIO's electric vehicles, making electric travel more convenient and efficient. At the same time, NIO has also continuously strengthened the construction of charging and battery swap stations to improve users' power charging experience. We believe that in the near future, NIO will continue to lead a new era of electric mobility and bring users a better driving experience.
