What is the range of NIO's 100kWh battery?
1 Answers
NIO's 100kWh battery can achieve a range of 500km. After the release of the 100kWh battery pack, the NIO ES6 and EC6 models can reach ranges of 610km and 615km, respectively. Several major factors affect the range of electric vehicles: Battery capacity: The most direct factor affecting the range of an electric vehicle is undoubtedly the battery capacity. Larger battery capacities allow for longer ranges. However, as the battery capacity of new energy vehicles increases, the battery weight also becomes heavier. Since increased weight leads to reduced range, this can become counterproductive. Therefore, the energy density of the battery is also a crucial factor in determining battery quality. Drag coefficient: The drag coefficient refers to the amount of air resistance a vehicle must overcome while driving, which directly affects the power output during the driving process. Previous studies have shown that when a car moves at a speed of 60 km/h, 60% of the power is used to overcome air resistance. Therefore, a lower drag coefficient results in less resistance, leading to relatively lower energy consumption. Vehicle weight and load: When a new energy vehicle is heavier, the load on the bearings and tires increases, resulting in greater rolling resistance. This means the vehicle consumes more energy during acceleration, thereby affecting the range. Previous research has shown that for every 100kg reduction in weight, the range of a new energy vehicle can increase by 10%-11%, while also reducing battery costs by 20% and daily wear costs by 20%.
