Why can't the NIO EP9 be driven on public roads?
1 Answers
Because it is not a road-legal vehicle. The EP9 is a track-only sports car and cannot be licensed for public road use. Here are the relevant details: 1. Powertrain: The NIO EP9 is equipped with four high-performance electric motors and four independent gearboxes, with peak torque reaching up to 1,480 Nm per wheel. The pure electric powertrain delivers a maximum output of 1,360 horsepower, with a top speed of 313 km/h. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds. 2. Equipment: The NIO EP9 is fitted with racing-oriented components such as push-rod suspension, slick tires, and carbon-ceramic composite brake discs.
