Man, these guys are living in the future 👍

Wow nice, hope nio brand can come to Indonesia.the swapping battery is needed here....

Really enjoyed that you shared the rest stops, hotel, and conversations with some people. Love the underlying story about the abilities of the big battery and the swapping.

Interesting video. I'm in Canada and watching this I can say we're so behind China in Electric cars. I was impressed with the battery change procedure. That blew me away considering the weight of that battery. I love seeing the countryside in your country. Looking forward to more videos.

Do we know the weight of the 150 kWh semi solid state battery vs the equivalent electrolyte based one?

At the end of the Range Test, would love to see how Fast it Charges from a high-power Charge Post. 🤓 Maybe 0%-80% noting the kW rate along the way to make a curve.

I throughly enjoyed this video and your commentary. I watched the whole video in three sitting. I appreciate your effort. Regarding top comment: no need to do another test. It is determined with this test that ultra range battery is working. 🎉Kindly explore other areas about NIO. Eg NIO houses, Onvo, why China is so good with Evs.

I decide to do another test for this 150 battery in a flat terrain with no rainy weather in order to eliminate the negative impacts on the range. It'll be a round trip with 2 proportions: 1) most efficiency test and 2) stressed test (cruising over 130Kph). Stay tuned, and let me know if there is anything I'd be aware.

Good documentary 😃👍🏻

Your video is superb. Life is driving

Wow. Can I buy the car I'm austalia? Or rent the car and lease the battery like musk talked about years ago ?

Very good, as the TCS (Touring Club Switzerland), which should be warrantued especially by bad brands! I prefer the bew Nio partner, Xpeng Motors which does the same, but distantly, more efficiently, soaring kost of intervention on site... The pick up can be only done where the vehicke is ! Ni delay sjiuld be possible, Staff COM Mobility PSC should deliver pieces and Mail Direct International PSC robots should desinstall sny unuseduk piece/accessory and kount the bew better one: improve the vehicle efficiency! Good, but kot if things to do by the customer, no pisit7ve automation as it should be!

Wassup with the nails...

Re-watching your road trip I realized that you probably could have easily reached more than 1000km on the way back if you had used Eco mode (2 wheel drive). Since you used Sport mode, it forced the car to used both engines, hence this will cause more losses, meaning less range...

38eur for 800km it's insane, we need this asap in Europe

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).

awesome video

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

Excellent video! The best video about NIO on KZbin: Experience using the APP and assistance. Keep up the good work!

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.

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 ;-)

Maybe if the ave speed would lower to 70km it could reach 1000km

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?

I loved your video dude 👍

Great video

Great video! Showing how to order the swap...the driving...the cure Nomi and the fantastic scenery of China ❤ Perfect English with subtitles Well done!

Wow 150kWh is impressive, how did you know that it was a solid state battery? Solid state is very new right? How fast can it charge?

How do you post this in us? Thought KZbin ban

Bring your own plant when traveling, that's new for me.

Astonishing. Not just the battery but the battery swap as required process.

1000 km range is this real ?

Solid State my a$$

Great content. Mobile Service and vehicle pick up is also provided in Helmand were I live. The level of detail in what you are showing is limited here and the whole process is a bit intransparent. This is due to the fact that if you buy the vehicle, the process is visited via phone / mail and not all via the app. Great service still. Thanks for your interesting videos 👍

Probably if you would used eco mode you would make it 1000km

That was very impressive and proving that this now compares 100% in range with an efficient ICE car. Your English is very good, making this video easy to follow for us Westerners. It's a shame that the Chinese and Western Governments are headbutting instead of working together, so that we "all" could benefit no matter where there are breakthroughs that improve our lives.

aaahhh man, why did you delete my long comment- I wrote good words there and asked about 8 questions. :/

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%... Who is the new Wong Fei you were hearing at at 17:00 ?

The range is more than acceptable. The stops inbetween i would top up. Charge 20 here 10 minutes there. Which makes a 1200km journey quiet a possibility.

With 1000km range I don't really think being able to swap is necessary. It will only save a few minutes on a 1500km road trip which is really really far for me atleast.

150kWh battery is what we need in any SUV , 150kWh battery is a game changer . But for now only two EV can get it , Nio and Zeekr . Only one thing is concerning me , low voltage of battery pack ( under 400V ) = less power and longer charging time .

Your cruise speed is not much compared to normally people do. I think you should try again 120km/h. By the way I am guessing you can get more than 700km range and that's still fantastic.

Now this makes the swappable battery on their cars look like an absolute genius move on Nio’s part. Sounds great for the odd occasion such as a week or two on holiday where you might want more range and drive longer distances. Rent a bigger battery rather than a different car for that time then swap back to a regular battery size once you are back. So many use cases.

Very good, Xpeng Motors will help improving even more the battery charging process and Nio will allow Nio and Xpeng Motors and others brands to use their excellent batteries. Now the operating system of Nio have been improved including some of the good exclusive specificities of Xpeng Tianji XOS. Xpeng Motors will respect and retribute what Nio dies correctly, and they will now continue collaborating efficiently!

I get 14 kWh/100km on driving below 90 on tarmac 2018 Zoe so this is impressive, you would get 10 kWh/100km eco-driving like me

Bjorn should have a crack of this in his 1000km challenge

driving 95kmh on highway with 120kmh speed limit would kill me. and make me extremly angry, why wont you change lane to right ? any possiblity to test range at 135kmh ?

We love to hear such battery packs with 1000 km range. We would request nio to tie up with byd , catl, lg etc., battery manufacturing companies and build a battery in cheaper cost so that lower class may afford it and consume it for daily transport .

Thanks for the video. Pleade continue. There is not a lot of information on such things from chinese origin cars. Many people in the west are scared that chinese manufacturers will kill the legacy brands, and I dont doubt this is somewhat true. But there is not a lot of info, because of the culture and language gap.

There will be a point where EVs will habe higher range than petrol and people will be irritated to hear people refused to drive EVs because of range anxiety at the beginning of the EV era.

Was regen used on your journey?, you were climbing on the first day, but I think you were descending on the second.
