I've been driving for a while now, and every time I open the hood of my NIO ES8, it feels quite straightforward. First, sit in the driver's seat, reach your left hand to the lower left corner of the steering wheel near the footwell area—there's a plastic handle there. Pull it backward, and you'll hear a slight pop as the hood releases. Then, step out of the car and walk to the front. In the middle of the hood, there's a safety latch; reach in and give it a gentle pull to fully open it. The support strut will automatically hold it up. I take this opportunity to check the windshield washer fluid bottle or the cooling system. While electric vehicles don’t pose high-temperature risks, it’s still important to ensure the car is parked and powered off. The owner's manual has clearer illustrations, though the exact location might vary slightly depending on the model year. Opening the hood regularly helps prevent minor issues, and making it a habit saves a lot of hassle.
