NIO Day 2023 was recently held in Xi'an, and the NIO Intelligent Electric Executive Flagship ET9 was officially unveiled.
The NIO ET9 is an intelligent electric administrative flagship car designed for the new generation of high-end business users, which is the most appropriate, comfortable, and safe. ET9 is the administrative flagship of the intelligent electric era defined by technology, integrating flagship appearance, innovative space, globally leading driving and riding experience, intelligent technology, efficient energy supplementation, and comprehensive safety standards.
The NIO ET9 has a length of 5325 millimeters, a width of 2016 millimeters, a height of 1620 millimeters, and a wheelbase of 3250 millimeters. Its massive size brings a strong flagship posture and aura. Adopting innovative aerodynamic body design, it can simultaneously meet the user's requirements for cabin space, comfort, and a sense of peace and control. The posture is more upright and the view is wider, bringing a reassuring and calm flagship driving experience.
ET9 has created an unprecedented mobile administrative space, an efficient mobile office, and an exclusive business lounge. The NIO ET9 adopts a native administrative four seat layout, with a vertical length of 2049 millimeters and a horizontal width of 1563 millimeters. The innovative design of "Sky Island" and "Administrative Bridge" creates four exclusive first-class seat space experiences.
ET9 is the culmination of NIO's full stack technology layout and global leading technology. It includes 17 globally first released technologies, 52 leading technologies in the same class, and has applied for 525 patents, defining a new flagship standard for intelligent electric administration with innovative technology.
The SkyRide · Tianxing Intelligent Chassis System of NIO ET9 integrates the three core hardware systems of wire controlled steering, rear wheel steering, and fully active suspension for the first time, making it a fully wire controlled intelligent chassis. ET9 can achieve a smooth experience in the face of complex road conditions.
The NIO ET9 is equipped with a "full range 900V high-voltage architecture", which includes core electronic and electrical components such as batteries, motors, wiring harnesses, air conditioners, DC-DC, and car chargers. It has three global firsts: the highest voltage of 925V, peak charging power of 600kW, and peak charging current of 765A. The 900V supercharged fast swapping and energy replenishment system can achieve industry-leading performance by fully charging in 3 minutes or increasing range by 255km in 5 minutes of charging.
The NIO ET9 is equipped with self-developed intelligent driving chips and a self-developed vehicle wide operating system. ET9 has a self-developed intelligent system architecture, and the central computing platform Adam 2.0 supports computing functions in six major areas: intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent chassis, vehicle body, power, and cloud domain. The ET9 is also equipped with NIO's first 5nm vehicle level intelligent driving chip - the Shenji NX9031, which is combined with the vehicle centered intelligent electric vehicle whole vehicle operating system SkyOS · Tianshu to achieve a close integration of computing power and its own algorithms, and the sharing of intelligent driving and cabin cross domain computing resources.
The NIO ET9 is designed with flagship active and passive safety and full vehicle safety redundancy, covering all aspects of travel safety. Not only does it have a body torsional stiffness of 52600 Nm/deg, but it also continuously explores and expands new safety boundaries with the strongest perception hardware and computing power. Based on aviation level safety standards, ET9 has conducted comprehensive safety redundancy design for the seven key systems of intelligent electric vehicles - drive, brake, steering, perception, computing, communication, and distribution, defining the administrative flagship global safety benchmark.
NIO ET9 will start booking immediately and delivery will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
On this NIO Day, NIO officially released the fourth generation of battery swapping stations and 640kW fully liquid cooled ultra fast charging piles. The fourth generation battery swapping station supports multi brand shared battery swapping, reducing battery swapping time by 22%; Equipped with a rooftop photovoltaic system, each station saves nearly 18000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The NIO 640kW fully liquid cooled ultra fast charging pile has a maximum current of 765A, a maximum voltage of 1000V, and a peak charging power of 640kW. It can intelligently allocate charging power within the station in real-time. In 2024, NIO will add 1000 new battery swapping stations and 20000 new charging columns to further enhance the user charging experience.
Li Bin, founder, chairman, and CEO of NIO, stated, "As an intelligent electric administrative flagship created by a Chinese brand, ET9 fully demonstrates NIO's research and development capabilities and achievements, bringing the administrative flagship sedan into the era of intelligent electric vehicles, representing NIO's determination, confidence, and enterprising spirit to continuously challenge the high-end market. NIO will continue to provide users with high-quality products and services through technological innovation." (Chen Xin)
