Li Bin personally test-drove the 150kWh battery pack of NIO, which exceeded 1,000 kilometers, attracting widespread attention. This feat of range showcases NIO's latest breakthrough in battery technology, and also ignites a hot discussion in the electric vehicle industry.
In today's bitterly cold Shanghai, Li Bin, founder and CEO of NIO, started a live broadcast and personally test-drove the ET7 equipped with a 150kWh battery pack and successfully completed the 1,000-kilometer range challenge. The highly anticipated 150kWh battery pack was unveiled and became the focus of the industry.
The debut of the 150kWh battery pack dates back to NIO Day 2020. At that time, the energy density of this semi-solid-state battery reached 360Wh/kg, far exceeding the current level of mainstream electric vehicle power batteries. This technological advancement is directly reflected in the cruising range, providing users with a better driving experience.
However, the mass production of 150kWh battery packs has been a topic of great concern. During the test drive, Li Bin revealed some challenges in battery pack production, including low yield and yield problems, but also said that NIO will provide services to users with special needs through flexible leasing and other methods.
Li Bin insisted on driving at a speed of 90km/h in the live broadcast, emphasizing that this test is "close to daily experience" and strives to restore the real driving situation. His persistence and determination sparked attention and discussion among the audience, however, there were also some questions about his driving style. The test drive was both a validation of battery technology and a test of driving performance and comfort.
As for when the 150kWh battery pack will be mass-produced, Li Bin admitted that there is a certain degree of difficulty, but he also revealed that NIO plans to launch more battery packs with a range of more than 800km. In the highly competitive EV market, range performance has always been one of the most important metrics for consumers, and NIO's relentless efforts demonstrate their commitment to improving the user experience.
Overall, this test drive of NIO's 150kWh battery pack is not only a technological breakthrough in range, but also an active exploration of the electric vehicle industry. With the continuous evolution of technology, it is believed that battery technology will usher in greater breakthroughs in the future and bring more surprises to the entire electric vehicle industry.
