Why is NIO so expensive?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why NIO cars are expensive: 1. Platform: The ET7 is based on NIO's second-generation electric drive platform, featuring a front permanent magnet + rear induction motor combination. It comes standard with intelligent air suspension and dynamic damping control. The 4D intelligent body control system, utilizing high-definition maps and high-precision sensors, can anticipate road bumps in advance and actively adjust the suspension. 2. Interior: The NIO ET7 adopts second-generation digital cockpit technology. For autonomous driving, it uses Qualcomm's third-generation digital cockpit computing platform, supporting 5G, V2X, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, UWB, and other vehicle mobile internet and communication capabilities. 3. Battery: The top configuration uses a 150 kWh battery, with a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers. All of these are 'new' technologies, so the cost is inherent, making it impossible for NIO to be cheap even if they wanted to.
