About the Brand

Blue Sky Coming

NIO pioneered the battery swap model — drive into a station, and a robot swaps your depleted battery for a full one in about 5 minutes. No waiting at a charger. This Battery as a Service (BaaS) model also lets you buy the car without the battery, significantly reducing the purchase price.

NIO positions itself as a premium lifestyle brand, with NIO Houses (lounges for owners) and a level of customer service that rivals luxury hospitality. The vehicles themselves compete with BMW and Mercedes on quality and technology.

The ET7 sedan and ES6 SUV showcase NIO's 150kWh semi-solid-state battery option, delivering over 600 miles of range — among the highest in the industry.
