Performance and Battery System
Under the hood, the Nio ET9 packs a 120 kWh battery pack built on the world’s first 900V high-voltage platform in China. This enables ultra-fast charging and improved efficiency.
The car also introduces Nio’s Skyride Intelligent Chassis System, combining:
- Rear-wheel steering

- Four-wheel independent control
With 1,000 torque adjustments per second, this system delivers exceptional stability and responsiveness across various driving conditions.
