NIO ET7 - Can It Conquer The World?
NIO's latest offering is more than just a top sports sedan, it’s a sign of fundamental change in the global car market. The ET7 promises a 1000km range from one single charge. It can swap batteries, which is a lot quicker than recharging. Its 648 horsepower can propel it to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. In-depth look including 6000km high-altitude drive across China with an ES8 and the NIO community, with its club houses and events.
NIO may be seen in the West as “China’s Tesla”, but its tech and social innovations could give them the edge over Elon Musk - and Porsche.

When a German engineer says a Chinese car is the best car he's ever driven you KNOW it has to be Awesome 💯
what if he is the worst german engineer?
@@user9675 Then you must be the worst conspiracy theorist. 😅
@@kinewe1161 then you must be the worst youtube commenter 😅
don't forget he is working for Chinese company, what would he say if he would be working for VW? ;)
@@user9675 If it's true, I should say, you are right? 😅
My son who is based in Hong Kong switched from Tesla to NIO and told me it is the best car he has ever driven.
Wow, that is saying something! Last time I was in HK, around 2018 there were loads of Tesla
@@Peter-un8no Last time i was in Hongkong in july 2021 and i saw a lot of Tesla parked in the warehouse of 2nd hand car seller company.
@@Peter-un8no Yes Nio is way better than Tesla, SO much better there is no comparison, Tesla seems like a toy next to NIo.
I do not support communism, thats why i wont buy nio
@@elon6784 , do you shop at Walmart? Many things are made in China.
The CEO is a real human. I like his down to earth attitude. Wish this company the best.
Musk is a lizard
@@hl5584 why is he a lizard?
William li seems cool. Grew up dirt poor...think no running water or electricity...and won scholarship out. Same with byd owner. ( and most Chinese over 45 years old)
He is. I heard he stayed in a humble 3 room apartment as he dont wanna be extravagant just because he is a billionaire.
Yes best blessings to William li and his team, Nio eco system, mass affordable ET 5 , partnership with so many strategic parties. His humble living style is admirable. 得道者多助。amen om mani Padme hung
10 minutes battery swapping makes more sense than 10 hours in charging station. NIO way to go
@@100M2B Aren't you choosing to rent a battery, if im not mistaken the service is called battery as a service. You rent the battery and get the car at a cheaper price point. So switching a battery you never owned for one you also don't own is not that big of a issue.
It could be a five minute battery change ,you might have to wait in line for an hour for your turn to change your batteries like a KZhead did it In China
10 hrs. Charging time? Total fake news. 15 -20 min. At a V3 SC station. I charge my Tesla S at home modt of the time just plug in at night done by the time you get up. How much time to drive to a Nio swap station and do you have to go out of your way?
@@hiloviking not everyone have a charger at home
@@TonyTuggummi most EVs can be charged in 1hour at fast charging station
Battery Swap for 3 minutes and go 1000km. I can never drive 600mile without a stop at service area. Its the End of ICE age.
30 min in line 3 minute swap, solid-state should fill in 20 min so why swap?
@@brockali4284 Swapping is only an option, Nio owners are not forced to swap their battery, they have charging stations as well so best of both worlds
@@mingzmings88 there is a good reason why govt wants to promote EV and end ICE vehicles
In 2 years coming soon
I get 600 miles per tank in my hybrid, fill up 3 minutes or less.
AS AN AMERICAN.......... I've got to admit. It's a beautiful car and I'd love to own one, for it's looks alone. Wow! That ez battery swap is a fantastic idea that sold me right away. Couple that with the state of the art technology it has. It's a winner in my book. Take my money already!
its a national security threat -joe biden and donald trump
Well as a nio investor, I can only hope for the best for them and my portfolio.
Lol same
Do I hold tesla too?
I hold 100 nio shares and 15 tesla shares. Both will be successful companies.
ooh..ur NIO investor.. I also looking to... hey bro.. why have they still not come to South Asian Markets?
Americans will be forced to divest.
america will classify this car as a national security risk because someone from the Chinese army once bought a Nio car.
Well then china won't be selling teslas
HAHAHA, that's very american way to think about Chinese companies.
With 400 million middle class and growing, why go anywhere else
You all don't understand what the Chinese governmeant is. Wake up.
Sadly this companies research and development is in california. San Jose. It's one of their corporate offices. I believe for research and development. Right in silicon valley. They have also posted job listings for jobs at nio here in America.
Battery swap stations + supercharger stations + AROUND THE CLOCK service car wherever you are stranded.
Not only that but it had a custom build lidar for autonomous driving, where Tesla fail Nio will succeed
Nice!
@@alphaomega1969 I read a book about Lidar. They were looking for ruins in the rainforest, typically the trees hide everything but Lidar showed them what was on the floor of the forest right through the trees. Lidar is very powerful.
Great Video and thank you to let me participate! I believe NIO will going to the stage of the leading car manufacturer.
Thank you Frank for your insights into NIO and being part of the video!
@@DWREV I think tesla will stay the biggest but Nio could be second best and largest.depenind how good Lucid is and if they can reach they're goals.
@@siemtehennepe7367 The biggest will be VW, of course, then perhaps GM, but there is room for everyone. If Tesla wants to retain market share, they need to make more affordable and less quirky cars, but they can fare very nicely just on their fan base - a kind of automotive Apple (whose market share outside of US is tiny, but look at their market capitalization.)
@@DWREV well DW u didn’t do ur research. Nio has a range of 1000 Km when we measure it according to the NEFZ method. The more interesting part would be how much it is according to WTLP. My guess would be not above 750km. What would be the range in WTLP !?
Best looking sedan I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Just simply gorgeous. Such a perfectly shaped sophistication personified.
Buy NIO Stocks.;)This company will be the leading car company in nearest future. I am German.
Chinese stock market is a huge joke. Better to stay far away.
@@nilnil8411 Nio to be exactly in nyse not in chinese stock market.
@@nilnil8411 NIO: NYSE buy some before too late
I bought TSLA early on way before the 5 for 1 split, one of those Teslaires.
@@nilnil8411 Chinese evs account for 50% of the global market share. Your comment's a joke
The battery swaping and a single charge can run thousand km is just awesome.
This is the future. Good luck from Mongolia
I hope the NIO cars are become popular in BELGIUM
Buy and support European automakers not Chinese junk
@@frankbasile3662 Chinese junk are better than American crap .... its time to throw the ford , gm ,chevrolet

@@frankbasile3662 hi Junk , go to China you can see European cars everywhere in China
@@frankbasile3662What make you so jealous😅
this is far better than I thought
Battery swap option is amazing.
Shill
@@Dom-gf4in Yes you are, not gtfo CIA bot.
Is it really amazing or just a gimmick? Wat if you get a lemon battery and it doesn't preform up to standards? What if the battery doesn't give you a 100% charge, who is responsible then? Also what if there are 10 cars in front of you at the swapping station? You just lost all the advantage (Of time) as they have only sold 75,000 cars and the engineer had three cars in front of him, those lines will soon become much longer.
@@kscipkkkk It is amazing engineering. The replaced battery shouldn't be expected to be at 100%, but around 80-90% is a valid expectation. The rest of your concern is about scale. The more cars you sell, the more you should have plan for such battery swap stations if that is your plan. Keep in mind, most of the cars charging will take place at home. I have had EV since 2018 and only time we use Superchargers (Tesla) is for long distance travel (150+ miles each way).
Actually I wait for them in Austria to own my first electric car EC6 😍😍.. I love this brand
I also love this car...can u help me to buy
Some like the idea of swap out their battery pack and move on within five min, while other prefer several hours of charging while at sleep, either way is fine with me ,when consumers have more choices , it is always a good sign.
Well u can still charge a nio which is cool I hope that nio will become a stronger competitor in the future:D
The swap is currently more like 10 minutes, and then he just had 3 guys in front of him. That's at least 30 minutes. In that time he could have fast charged 40-50 kwh easily, without sitting in the car waiting for his turn.
@@Psi-Storm The battery swapping is primarily for two types of people/scenarios: people on long road trips, and people with no room in their home to install a charger for overnight charging. For the former, you just have to make sure their is a swap station somewhere on your route. On a 4+ hour drive, waiting 30 mins or so is fine, especially while you all go to the toilet, grab food and a coffee etc. And for the latter, they will not need to swap every day, more like every 3-5 days depending on the length of their commute.
@@Psi-Storm Nio has charging stations too ofc.
This Nio ET7 looks amazing 👏
Coming out with wireless charging. Nio is the bomb
This is inevitable, Elon Musk will look like a midget next to William Li. Elon Musk will one day become the William Li of America.
@T. Poon We have a BMW diehard fan. You're a dinosaur, son.
@@samsun01 troll 😈
Wireless charging 😂
@@Dom-gf4in what's so funny about it? It exists, read up on WAVE by IDEX 👍🏾
This is very impressive, many companies wanted to avoid battery swapping as they will be serving for free the major service that an EV might need but NIO made a bold move by offering a life time of battery swapping at a small price. Really impressive.
Okay, but how far will some need to travel to those sparse locations? I expect FAR fewer than recharge stations, perhaps one per State?
Nio rank highest on JD Power Associates Quality survey, so combine with EP9 - the have the fastest, longest range and highest quality vehicles on the market (also quite luxurious)!!
So laughable
Hahaha no
@@Dom-gf4in NIO ranks top, Tesla ranks bottom last in customer service and reliability. lmfao
@@HiddenAgendas it ranks lowest because the owners complained about panel gaps and paint issues, but the battery is managed so well and since teslas are the most efficient cars, owners have seen the battery packs only lose 10% capacity over 200,000 miles. JD power is also a joke of a award system, i see tons of crappy American brands get top rated by them.
@@Dom-gf4in Yes you are. Sour CIA trolls are always hilarious.
NIO will soon be one of the main car manufacturers flagship brands in China. Like when Japan automobile took off in the 70-80's, and surprised the world with brands like Honda, Toyota, ...
NIO has the capacity just like BYD to revolutionize the EV market. Their ingenuity and classy technology is breathtaking with Chinese culture in mind. They need to include English integration in their software such as Nomi...voice controls.
Nio will be more successful than any other existing or upcoming EV company because it is very customer focused.
Like the Stock, because I like Nio. Easy thing. #alwaysforward
Grew up never being into cars much, but et7 is my dream car now
Better start saving up, $70+k is big bucks for some.
I like the battery swap solution.
Like the car toys you played as a child.
Can't wait to have one of E7 in UK. Question is how quick NIO can establish their swap stations
Sinopek partnership pending...
It won’t work
@@spenndoolie probably, if u want anything to happen in UK, takes 10 yrs. Parliament debate 5 yrs
@Михаил Михайлов - I charge my Tesla at night or day, I have solar panels, net metering and TOU rates so don’t charge in certain time window.
No worry. Buy 1st, they will deliver swap station for reputation and business
1000 Km in one charge Awesome 👍
A game changer?
Its not they cheated used the old messurement not wltp after wltp its 700km at most also its still unsure cause they depend on batterystarturp for the 150kwh battery and will come in 2022 tesla model plaid lucid air mercedes eqs all have a wltp reach of over 700km comming in 2021 so for sure no gamechanger
@@djjokerjaxx It's 1000KM with a Chinese solid state battery dumbass, something no one else has.
Very impressive with the NIO driving rang, service and comfort making the electric car very attractive to won. I will definitely go for electric hope they will soon make a cheaper model.
We Malaysia Cant wait no more. When it come to Malaysia
wait till SIRIM & MyHijau ready their certifications system
Nah...won't think it will land Malaysia. Malaysian like practical ICE car..less electronic stuff less issue for them. Myvi is more suitable😂
I am also waiting Nio to get into Malaysia market too
Haven't u realised? Only leftovers come to malaysia and yet they charge so much more. Expect nio to hit the shores once the mainstream changes to other technologies.
It all depends on much would Nio willing pay the "ticket" to come to Malaysia 😏
I've been suggesting the swap station concept for years - batteries should have the same form-factor for ALL electric cars. Suddenly I find someone has done it!
Swap stations are a solution for slow charging, what happens when charging becomes much faster? Swap stations become obsolete.
@@odisy64 battery technology is ever improving. Nio owner can just go to the swap station to get an upgrade compare to having to replace the entire car.
@@ZoeCuiM what upgrade? its subscription service you pay 130 dollars for a month. if you want a bigger battery you need to pay a " one time fee" of up to 8,000 dollars for a larger battery pack. battery swaping is not new tech, its old and it was conceptualized because of the low charging speeds of electric cars. as battery technology is "ever improving", ranges and charging speeds will make swap stations a cost Burdon on both the consumer and the owner. the throughput is also another issue. honestly i would not pay for a service like that, it negates the whole "electricity being cheaper than gasoline" benefit. if you dont drive much it ends up being more costly than gasoline per mile.
@@odisy64 yea, but non-Nio owner will have to buy a whole new car instead of just paying for the battery. What part do you not get? Also, Nio has the option to not subscribe to swapping service, so really the beat of both world.
@@ZoeCuiM why would anyone buy a whole new car for a small battery update? You act like NIO will release batteries enticing enough for an upgrade every few years. Your still going to have the same cooling and hardware systems so the only real advantage a new battery will bring is range, but what does that matter when supercharging is cheaper, just as fast with more charging locations. NIO will limit there battery design based on the older cars hardware so the battery cant take full advantage of its advancements unlike something like the 4680 cell which is being integrated as part of the vehicle structure to increase strength and reduce weight.
Got the ET7 in June in Shanghai, very good sedan, the driving experience is amazing.
We definitely buy Nio once is in Europe.
Looks awesome.... cant wait to see it in the UK
Why noone talks about upgradabilit? this is the biggest advantage of NIO. The fact tha you can upgrade the battery or the display etc of your Nio with the ones from the newest Nios is the best feature of this company
More collaboration amongst these great car makers will quickly perfect the autonomous vehicle!
Nio will dominate.
Keep wishing
@@Dom-gf4in In china yes they will. Tesla will continue to be ahead globally because they have a 10 year lead. If they want to stay ahead of other EV companies they better up their quality and customer service.
Local brand BYD sold more EV's than Tesla in China in 2020. VW also sold more EV's than Tesla in Europe recently...
@@smartcatcollarproject5699 I agree that Nio wont sell more cars then some of the other mass market EV companies. I see Nio dominating in China because of the many other revenue streams they will have coming in the future. Nio is building an ecosystem just like Apple. You just cant compare them to VW or BYD. On top of that I believe their battery swap technology will be world wide in 5-10 yeaars, and many other auto manufacturers will pay to use it. I could be wrong but I believe this company will be an absolute giant one day.
@@Roman-re1yg Nio is being hyped right now. They use Tesla patents, have very little innovation of their own, and just trying to emulate Tesla/Apple in China. Yes, Tesla is ahead 10 years yet should improve quality and customer service, which are not that bad. Media tries to make a big deal but Tesla sells every car they make and trying to make tons more. They also make changes as they go so each iteration is better than the last.
It can only get better, however, if it has such a long range and you can charge it at home overnight, you may never need to change the battery pack except once in a while to get a fresh pack.
NIO will take over
😂 wishful
Rani Takeover? I doubt that but they will be a top player. Tesla , VW, Nio
@@MACQJR TSLA AND VW TOP 2
@@KlassicApparel I would agree.

I bought 100 NIO for $1.87. Why didn't I buy more?? I almost sold at $50 but I held on hoping for $75.
I told my boss to buy NIO a couple of years ago when it was a startup and he didn't listen to me. I keep reminding him how he could have made a million had he done so. lol
@@walden6272 lol is late to buy even if it's at $45..?
I am an aerospace engineer who is really interested in cars, I wanna apply for a job there after reading so much about the company.
good luck!
As a Chinese, I want to say that Nio is not a good enterprise.Battery system comes from Ningde era.Almost everything is outsourced. If you want to come to China to work in the automotive industry, BYD, Geely, Great Wall Group are preferred.
What sets them apart that you want to work for them? Curious.
I hope Nio will be available in Manila asap

this is huawei version of tesla. great i definitely will buy its share soon
Huawei have their own car. Btw, they won't want to be the next huawei. Once they're selling more than tesla all over the world, they would be end up like huawei. They would be targeted by USA.😂
You mean iPhone? I'm a Huawei, honor fan.
Be careful. Like Huawei, it might be restricted from sales in US controlled territories for national security reason, and hence experiencing a semi-collapse like Huawei today. Still dare to buy their shares?
I personally prefer BYD, check out their Qin plus DM-i, it has dual motor with gas milage of 3.8L/100km(without using battery power，if combine with battery power, it can achieve
byd han is the best but byd song are best sold cars😂
BYD is targeting the middle class while NIO and Tesla is more for the wealthy. It's great to have more competition. Sadly, we won't see this in the US anytime soon.

I’m so glad I bought my Nio stock 🙌💯
Looks like a fantastic product, hope they do deliver on their 1000km range battery, or will Tesla's roadster beat them to it? Have to say I am very intrigued by their marketing campaign of focusing on building communities, Something alot of EV competitors are pushing for when some large car companies grew theirs organically. Is battery swap a scalable solution for their varying batteries and growing demand? Also, the comments made by the NIO owners are the most Chinese marketing I've witnessed on youtube. Blatant bashing/boasting. Can't wait to try it out myself when I visit the country.

what is the sticker price?
Just wander when would this reach Canada

Very nice car overall
So does it mean if you are leasing a batteryou cannot do battery swaps?
You can have free battery swapping (6 times per month) no matter you buy or lease the battery.
@@Zhanghuidian You can buy a Nio with the smallest 70 kw and rent the bigger battery 100 kw for 4£ a day when you go on a road trip. Nio allow you to rent a battery from 1 day to as many day as you want. With Nio you are not anchored to the battery that come with your electric vehicle when you bought it. That is a aweaome advantage that every ev buyer will want.
If you buy their stocks is their delisting risks if ur long term holder 10 years? Will they beat Tesla
Wow!
very informative video.
