How does it compare?
Range
When it comes to range, the NIO ET7 stands tall with an impressive 675 km (419 miles). The Tesla Model S offers up to 652 km (405 miles), falling slightly short. Meanwhile, the Lucid Air Pure boasts a similar yet formidable 653 km (406 miles). The BMW i4 M50 manages a respectable 520 km (323 miles), and the Mercedes EQE clocks in with around 590 km (367 miles). Clearly, the ET7 is your go-to long-hauler in this echelon.
Acceleration
In terms of acceleration, the NIO ET7 rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a brisk 3.9 seconds. The Tesla Model S, however, leaves most competitors in the dust with a blistering 2.1 seconds. On the other hand, the Lucid Air Pure hits 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, the BMW i4 M50 achieves 3.9 seconds, and the Mercedes EQE lags with a 0-100 km/h of around 5.6 seconds. Here, ET7 holds its own as a swift, though not the outright fastest, option.
Power
The NIO ET7 packs a mighty punch with 653 horsepower (487 kW). The Tesla Model S trumps all with a staggering 1020 hp (761 kW). The Lucid Air Pure is no slouch either, housing a potent 480 hp (358 kW). The BMW i4 M50 stands strong with 536 hp (400 kW), and the Mercedes EQE holds a modest power output of 288 hp (215 kW). Clearly, NIO ET7 flexes significant muscle, but Tesla’s Model S is the undisputed titan.
Charging Time
When it comes to charging, the NIO ET7 charges from 20% to 80% in just under 30 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger. The Tesla Model S offers about the same, taking around 25 minutes using the Supercharger network. The Lucid Air Pure claims approximately 20 minutes for a similar charge, whereas the BMW i4 M50 takes about 31 minutes. Lastly, the Mercedes EQE needs around 32 minutes. ET7’s fast-charging time is competitively swift, keeping inconvenience to a minimum.
Price
The NIO ET7 enters the fray at $78,000 (£65,000/€75,000). The Tesla Model S demands a premium, at $89,990 (£75,000/€86,000). The Lucid Air Pure offers a touch of exclusivity at $77,400 (£64,500/€74,000). The BMW i4 M50 is more affordable at $65,900 (£55,000/€62,000), and the Mercedes EQE enters the market at approximately $70,000 (£58,000/€68,000). NIO ET7 carves a niche by offering robust specs and luxury without the intimidating Tesla price tag.
