Others
|
The ES6 Performance version uses both a permanent magnet motor and induction motor — this gives a good mix of efficiency and performance.
Strong body stiffness due to hybrid structure (aluminum + carbon fiber)
The Performance trim is more “sporty” with faster acceleration vs base/standard versions.
NIO offers a “battery as a service” (BaaS) model (optional), though exact cost depends on region (mostly China).
Lap records at Nürburgring (6:45.90), COTA (with and without driver), Paul Ricard, Shanghai
