NIO EP5
Chinese company NIO finally started delivering a new sedan called ET5 to local dealers. Sales of the electric car will start in the near future. The ET5 EV is the second sedan from NIO, following the ET7.
The driving force of the NIO ET5 is two electric motors with a total power of 360 kW (489 hp) and a torque of 700 Nm. The company's press release noted that the acceleration time of 0-100 km/ h will take NIO ET5 4.3 seconds. Not bad for a five-door sedan! By the way, an electric car can be bought with three battery options:
- standard (75 kWh, it will be enough for 550 km of travel)
- extended range (100 kW.h per 700 km)
- the most powerful (150 kW.h and about 1000 km of the way in offline mode)
A digital instrument panel, sports seats and a large display of a Tesla-style multimedia system were installed in the cabin.
Autopilot is also available! ET5 received an upgraded version of the autonomous control system, which is called NIO Aquila Super Sensing.
The technology includes lidar, seven 8-megapixel high-resolution cameras, four 3-megapixel photosensitive surround cameras, one driver monitoring system, 5 range radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors. All this is controlled by the NIO Adam supercomputer, which can process 8 GB of images per second.
The electric car was also equipped with narrow LED optics, a sloping roof, a raised hood and red brake calipers.
