ABOVE: 2024 NIO ET9

The driving experience is said to be like permanently driving on a perfectly flat road. It uses China’s full-Domain 900V Architecture, with a high voltage of 925V, a charging peak power of 600kW, and a charging peak current of 765A.

Gay Car Boys has reviewed many electric vehicles and the most common complaint from gay readers is the charger. Nobody has time to sit around while a car charges, so swapping batteries makes life easier.

The figures don’t make much sense until stretched into a user’s daily drive. The 900V ultra-fast charging and swapping platform allows fast recharging after a 3-minute battery swap or extending the range by 255km with a 5-minute charge.

NIO ET9 is available for pre-order in China, with delivery time scheduled in the first quarter of 2025.

The Power Swap Stations

Also at NIO Day 2023, NIO launched the fourth-generation NIO Power Swap Stations (PSS 4.0) and the 640kW Liquid Cooled Power Charger. PSS 4.0 is compatible with multiple brands and reduces the overall swapping time by 22%. Equipped with rooftop photovoltaic systems, PSS 4.0 saves nearly 18,000kWh of electricity annually. NIO 640kW Power Charger has a maximum current of 765A, maximum voltage of 1000V, and a peak charging power of 640kW. The charging power can be automatically allocated within the station. In 2024, NIO will build 1000 Power Swap Stations and 20,000 chargers, further enhancing the charging experience for users.
