With the limousine, Nio is targeting business customers who want to be as comfortable as possible. With an impressive length of 5.32 meters and a wheelbase of 3.25 meters, there is space for four individual seats. According to the manufacturer, the rear seats alone have 24 technologies patented by Nio. Charging should also be particularly fast and progressive.

Thanks to a 900-volt architecture, the electric car can theoretically store enough electricity in its batteries for a range of 255 kilometers within five minutes. Or drivers use one of the fully automated battery exchange stations. These are also available in Germany and are somewhat reminiscent of car washes.
Within a few minutes, the entire battery of the electric car is replaced with a fully charged one. At Nio Day, Nio presented the fourth generation of these swap stations, which are now able to swap batteries even faster, within three minutes.
