Li Bin released NIO's "technological crystallization" new car ET9, with a pre-sale price of 800,000 yuan
On December 23, at the NIO Day 2023 event, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO, released the new car ET9. Li Bin said that the ET9 will set a technical benchmark for the executive flagship, "The ET9 is the crystallization of NIO's technological innovation. ”
In terms of price, the pre-sale price is 800,000 yuan, and reservations will be accepted from now on, and deliveries will start in the first quarter of 2025. "Everyone on the scene is welcome to place an order on the NIO app now, and there are discounts during the pre-sale period. Li Bin said.
The ET9 brings together NIO's four core technologies, namely the self-developed intelligent driving chip, the global 900V high-voltage architecture, the Tianxing chassis system, and flagship-level safety standards.
In the demonstration video, the ET9 is shown with a four-tiered champagne tower on top of the front bonnet and smoothly navigating the undulating road. In this regard, the audience cheered.
It is understood that NIO ET9's "SkyRide Intelligent Chassis System" integrates the three core hardware systems of steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering and fully active suspension for the first time, and is currently the world's only fully drive-by-wire intelligent chassis. The world's first intelligent, highly integrated active suspension system, each shock absorber is highly integrated with independent electro-hydraulic pumps, and the brushless DC motor responds quickly, which can complete information processing, calculation and response within 1 millisecond. At the same time, the suspension supports large height adjustment, 1,000 torque adjustments per second, and the four wheels are independently controlled to meet the needs of multi-scene driving, and face complex road conditions like walking on the ground.
In addition, the ET9 is equipped with the first "global 900V high-voltage architecture" in China, including core electronic and electrical components such as batteries, motors, wiring harnesses, air conditioners, DC-DC, and on-board chargers, and has the highest voltage of 925V, the peak charging power of 600kW, and the charging peak current of 765A. Li Bin said that the 900V supercharging fast-swap system has three core advantages, such as lightning charging, wide-area charging, and extreme fast swapping, "which can achieve industry-leading supercharging performance of increasing the charging range by 255km in 5 minutes." But he added, "Of course." No matter how fast the charge is, it can't be as fast as the battery change. ”
According to reports, the NIO ET9 is 5,325 mm long, 2,016 mm wide, 1,620 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 3,250 mm. In terms of exterior and interior, the aura is in full swing.
It is worth mentioning that NIO's 640kW fully liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging pile and the fourth-generation battery swap station were also officially released on the day of the event, in order to echo the theme of "upward" NIO Day, Li Bin announced, "The power-up experience will go up again, and NIO will build 1,000 new battery swap stations and 20,000 charging piles in 2024." ”
