Brother Ran, this is one of the best KZbin videos of 2024! Thanks for taking so much effort to cover all areas from the battery manufacturer, backgrounds all the way to the real life testing. I really liked that you show the 'booking process' in the NIO app. Although I cannot read Mandarin, I can follow it perfectly (I am familar thanks to my ES6, named EL6 in Germany). The 150kWh battery is a very exciting proposition, although many companies are talking about solid state batteries, only NIO has actually pulled it off and made it available to the public. Hope that NIO will eventually offer it in Europe. I would like to use it during long road trips in Europe. Keep up the good work 🙂 By the way, same as you I use the 75kWh pack, it's most cost effective since the effective (net) capacity is ~73kWh (169 euro/month), whereas the so-called 100kWh has a net capacity of 'only' 90kWh (289 euro). I see no point in paying 120 euro/month extra for only 17kWh additional range (~80km for an EL6).

Thank you for your support as always. And I can feel that you must be enjoying a lot your EL6😆. I was blown away by the price difference you mentioned regarding the 100 kWh, I guess it might be something with the tax, import and market demand as well. Indeed there is no need to get that 100 for daily use. Hope you could enjoy the 150 battery soon, it'll be a completely different experience.

Ciao , grazie per il tuo video di recensione reale . Io vivo in Italia e da qualche hanno ho potuto seguire NIO solo dal loro sito web ed blog aziendale . E una cosa fra tutte ha attirato la mia attenzione il suo sistema innovativo di scambio batteria , che lo trovo una idea geniale ! . Guardando i video , leggendo recensioni ho trovato veramente utile ed sostenibile il tutto oltre alla velocità di scambio batterie . Inoltre non ci devi piu' pensare alla batteria in quanto fa parte del servizio di stazione di rifornimento . Faccio un esempio reale di adesso , io che ho la mia auto a carburante diesel o benzina devo andare comunque in una stazione di rifornimento carburante , ora se io avessi una auto elettrica (magari NIO !! Onvo o altro modello di NIO) andrei comunque in una stazione di rifornimento solo che invece di inserire energia elettrica attraverso la spina , scambio tutta la batteria e sarei piu' contento perché primo viene sempre controllata dal sistema NIO , sarebbe quindi sicura e verificata , non dovrei piu' preoccupami del tempo e quindi del suo degrado . Inoltre supponiamo che anche qui in Italia o in Europa decidono di poter in futuro poter installare la tecnologia di auto come NIO e supponiamo che la revisione di due anni dell'auto come normativa metta anche il controllo della batteria e se poi non va bene ? Quindi meglio la soluzione scambio batteria di Nio . Inoltre immagino che le batterie vengano caricate con energia per esempio a pannelli fotovoltaici o comunque sostenibile ed inoltre se una stazione ha energia non utilizzata quella di essere immessa in rete se per esempio quel giorno ci sono pochi scambi di batteria , quindi è la vedo come una idea stupenda e complimenti al Teams di NIO per la sua tecnologia , per le sue auto e la sua mission e vision . Grazie per il tuo video , mi sono iscritto anche io

Nice review, Ran. What's really a shame is that Nio only supports 130kW charging power. Tesla at 250kW, and KIA/Hyundai/Porsche at over 350kW. I understand that this is because of battery swapping, but it would be ideal to be able to make both situations compatible. As a Tesla owner, hopefully in the future we will be able to upgrade our battery packs to solid state and be able to choose a much larger size, without impacting on size and weight.

Thank you for your comment and sharing, you are correct that NIO users are not that into charging their cars.😂 I've seen people charging their NIO car with 100 battery towards around 240Kw output, the standard pack 75 can only get about 140Kw, my personal experience with 75 was only 120 max. But I'd like to let you know NIO actually made the best ultra chargers in China with one of highest amount and quality too. Some of chargers are up to 640Kw now, they are really for the 900V arquitecutre in the near future. Many other EV users they love to use NIO chargers especially Tesla owners since Tesla chargers here are too pricey to use😂, I am being 100% honest.

@@ransyoutube Tesla at least in Europe is the most afordable recharge network up to 250kW, even compared to other charging networks they win. I imagine there are operators out there who are more competitive on price. People here are still very reluctant to BEVs, and it will be difficult to change this trend except in very specific cases. I'm not criticising NIO at all, like all brands, it has good things and not so good things. Moreover, I think that China is leading the decarbonisation and the transition to electric vehicles in a correct and admirable way, something that some Westerners still find difficult to understand.

Very cool video, I liked both the technical aspect as well as the road trip footage in equal parts. The only thing I wish you could've additionally tested is the maximum charging speed, as this is where scientific opinion and PR seem to drift apart - related to solid state batteries. The 137 kWh out of 150 kWh consumed at the end is a sign that the app / car is "massaging" the data to a certain degree (i.e. the "realistic" consumption should include all the things that you mentioned near the end of the video) - I hope automakers can owe up to that in the future. The 4% for AC is 150 * 0.04 = 5.48 kWh, which is a little on the high side considering that's about 500 W per hour on a 11h trip - I would've expected values around 300-400 W per hour, here (so around 3%) total contribution, considering the ET5 is supposedly equipped with a heatpump. Thanks again, and I hope to see some monastery footage in the future ;-)

This might be one of most professional comments I've received and I shall applaud for your time and effort, thank you very much.

Fascinating video. I think the best way to test it (and perhaps reach the claimed 1000 km) would be to do an out & return trip back to the "power station" (as you've called it; the battery swap station). This would compensate for any elevation-profile-related specificities. I'm quite confident that this could edge you closer towards the claimed 1000km. Another remark: I hail from Europe, where (in some countries) average travel speeds are higher than the 78-86 kph you saw during your trip. I am curious about the elasticity of the range to, say, a 10 kph increase in average speeds. Are we talking linear reduction in real-life range - or more?
@ransyoutube2 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for your time spent here watching my content and the great advice. I thought the same, the elevation was the biggest cause of not able to reach that range. I am already thinking about doing a new test of driving in a flatter terrain to eliminate the elevation impact, and a round trip to test the most efficient way of driving and the most stressed way possible like cruising over 135Kph as people probably do. It is correct that if you drive faster the consumption would be increased drastically, I'd say 85-95 Kph is the sweet spot for my ET5, namely the most efficient. much for your time

There should not be any constraint, to swap the battery, the first there, the first served, but Mail Direct International PSC should allow to add new batteries to satisfy the demands. If more customers want the big battery, they car change to a 100kWh or 120kWh and receive after on their trip one still unutilized 150kWh battery to make larger trip without stops... These batteries are mostly for Nio cars driving automatically without any human or animal onboard, as human beings and animals need to take rest, go to toilet, drink/eat, enjoy their trip... The car can exchange the battery or recharge it during these short stops... Only what is useful should be done by computers! No need to plan so much, benefitable things should be realized anytime with good surprises fit users, and factories, according to what is possible! For 700 kilometers you should not need the 150kWh, the 120kWh should get enough for your trip.... It us very good the batteries are not charges above 92%, 93%...

Regarding the altitude, the starting point is around 50 meters, the final destination the basin was a few hundreds, still there is a non-negligible elevation. I believe the altitude could be the most important reason why I couldn't make it longer.
