Battery subscription and swap stations reduce upfront cost in supported regions
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). |
