180kwh is the new charging power. Good review like always!.and people will say; oh so expensive " but they don't mind paying even more for some other models with less power, less features. The car looks great + look how well the car is assembled. I checked a model X and you can see so many parts not fitting well with each other

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, probably 180kw but not at date of recording and on that car. 👍

[@flujori]

people choosing this over a model X are heavily invested in Nio stock ;)

[@GM-lq7sw]

@@flujori how much is the Model X?

[@flujori]

@@GM-lq7sw lets say 30k€ more, but that only strengthens my claim that if you prefer a ES7 you are heavily invested in $Nio stock.

[@flujori]

@@GM-lq7sw If the internet is correct, for an equal battery X you'd only pay a few thousand € more since buying a 100kwh battery costs over 20k€ for the Nio

[@dennista42069]

I love the design and just overall strategy NIO is going with. They are in many ways different and they stick to that. You can see and feelt that in every model of them and I absolutely love it. I would choose the NIO just because their cars feel so fresh and relaxing.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Agree, really refreshing and they have managed to stay with their DNA

[@avkalyan2000]

Your reviews in my opinion are the best brotha, concise and fact filled. Thank You.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you man! 🙂👍

[@Tatisifetita]

Thanks for reviewing this Nio car

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

No problem

[@evkx]

Great review. Added it to our frontpage. I probably would have chosen the Q8 e-tron of the competions.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks! The tank aka Q8 Etron, that's a nice package

[@JuanArkani]

Very good review, compelling, thank you 🙏🏻

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Glad you liked it!

[@D4M4K4]

You are the best car reviewer on YT. So detailed and informative. Well done and keep it up! How would you compare the EL7 vs EL6? The EL6 got new seats, upgraded massage, matrix lights, new outer handles, hidden back wiper, and more... but the el7 got more hp, better suspension, more trailer-weight.. hmmm. Which one to chose?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I would go for the EL6, no doubt! Better looking, cheaper and more sporty feeling. The thing is that I recorded the video before I tested the EL6 in Germany. Thank you for your kind words!

[@liuandy7490]

agree

[@azeeuwnl1961]

Nice and complete review, thank you. Clearly a car in the higher segment. For this price range I was expecting a bit more range though.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks for watching!

[@m13monroy]

Great 👍🏻 review details Nio is a brand that is coming up competitive model with the other high brands

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks!

[@shiyi5717]

Very nice car and review

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you

[@ecarpo3479]

I think they actually won the case against Audi but they had already changed the name to not delay the release.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes you are right. My bad

[@michalgalo7282]

It would be good to see 4x4 drive capabilities as well ...

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Good point ☝️

[@Porformer]

When do you expect to get the New 2024 NIO ES8 for testing? I am exited the test in comparison with the xpeng G9 ;-)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Currently the ES8 only available in Norway in Europe as I understand..don't think that's the new one yet. Will check

[@Hunman79]

Hi, How would you compare it with Xpeng G9 performance? quietness on highway speed, drive feel , interior quality? Thank you A.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I would say that the EL7 feels a bit more refined and that the EL6 is closer to the G9.

[@marcusfleuti2672]

Waiting for the ET5t facelift (needs HeadUp) and for NIO to enter Swiss market. Will replace my Model3 with that.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, HUD would be a great addition.

[@cheemayassir7931]

NIO is the future

[@rededwards3479]

Does Germany not have a beach? LEt's see some videos of the Seaside!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haha...it's winter and it's Sweden. 😂

[@rededwards3479]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Kool...Do they have a DOwntown in Sweden. DO some videos where LOTS of PEOPLE are Watching

[@dollan1991]

How would you compare this to the Xpeng G9?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

The EL7 feels a notch up. I would compare the G9 more with the EL6. Both cars are really nice though!

[@tongzhang158]

I already have one😊

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice, happy with it?

[@tongzhang158]

@@ItsOnlyElectric 很喜欢nio送了我一个私人充电桩，另外每个月四次免费换电池，很喜欢

[@baltazarkosa29]

Xpeng G9 seems like a fair competitor, I think

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, agree

[@DZ_ZenDrive]

EL7 hasn't got dual chamber air suspension, all the air-springs on EL7 are single chamber.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Maybe I'm confusing it with the EC7 and ES8.

[@rededwards3479]

Whats the cost of a Tesla model 3 there

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Starts at 519k SEK (47k€).

[@honesty_-no9he]

Too expensive. We need more BYD mid and affordable level. Try and get the BYD SONG L as soon as they arrive in Sweden.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, that's one of the main issues when it comes to EVs: no one seems to be able to or wants to deliver affordable EVs yet

[@honesty_-no9he]

@@ItsOnlyElectric In China they do! Including cars you have reviewed. One of our biggest issues is protectionist tariffs and VAT taxation. I feel like a broken record when I mention this but here it goes... BYD ATTO 3/YUAN PLUS All prices in £ Sterling. UK £40,000 plus Australia £30,000 China £20,000 Even the BYD HAN in AWD top spec is less than 50K Euros in China the FWD standard version is under 40K Euros. This is the giant gap!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@honesty_-no9he yes i know all this but the fact remains, still no cheap alternatives in Europe. 😔

[@LL-bn1xn]

Let’s hope nio’s sub-Brand Apls will bring down the price next year .

[@flujori]

not blaming OP but there are too many people out there with big bags of $NIO stock, down over 70% and trying anything to hype up these cars. they are not better than a Tesla. (no i don't own $TSLA but i drive one)

[@metricstormtrooper]

The answer to ice vehicles is not a two tonne SUV with a 100kw battery, excess is excess.👎

[@marcusfleuti2672]

Yes. 100 kWh is too less. That's why NIO provides 150 kWh batts soon 😊

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

😂

[@gordonfreeman4491]

I really like cars from Nio, the only drawback is their pricing. The price alone is a bit high, but that you have to pay extra for the battery makes them way too expensive. So none of them are interesting at all. And the battery swap idea, is soon outdated, when batteries go even futher on a charge.

[@honesty_-no9he]

NOMI is not annoying you are annoying her. Make conversation and stay focused. You must be awful on a date! 😄

[@Oriental-perspective]

nio快倒闭了，每年亏100亿元。中国市场竞争太大了，nio已经不是最先进的电动车了。自动驾驶方面不如huawei，豪华不如Li，也许就是内饰能吸引小众用户，简洁优雅。但这部分人很少。更多人喜欢豪华的那种。

[@SeeliLeck3r]

Hej ! 👋 Nio is one of the brands I'm looking after to replace my C4O, along with Xpeng and Fisker (for this last one, I'm not so sure, company showed some issues recently apparently). I love the ET5 Touring in the Nio line up. Good looking car and the features are super cool. I'm looking forward to try it 😊 Would it be possible for you to do a review of the new features offered now in the Bayan OS on the Nio ? I'm kind of curious Anyway, Tack så mycket for the review, nice and accurate, as always 🙌

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I personally would go for the EL6 over the EL7, enough comfort, better looking car and cheaper. If not a SUV the the Et5 T. I did a take a closer look at bayan 200 in the el6 review, it has really been evolving to the better. Did you see that, or do you mean a deeper dive? Regarding the Fisker, I'm testing it this weekend. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍

[@SeeliLeck3r]

@@ItsOnlyElectric I have C40, so a SUV (even if it has a Coupé shape), I do recognize that the efficiency is not that super good. Hence the fact I want to try a SW like the ET5 Touring 🙂 For the Bayan, as I'm not really used to it, I just wanted to know what were the main new features

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Ah..ok. so a big rewamp when it comes to the UI design and logical placements and organization of the menus. A lot of new apps and improvements in general like better battery management.

[@SeeliLeck3r]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Thanks 🙂 I love the fact that cars can now be updated and get better through software tweaking. It speaks to my inner geek 😅

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@SeeliFlorea yes, this is one of the main reasons for my passion for EVs since I'm a software developer and architect. Without good software, the hardware is worthless.
