Nio ET7 with a 150-kWh semi-solid-state battery pack has achieved a real-world range of up to 1,070 kilometers, according to data released by the company. Nio conducted a 150-kWh battery pack range challenge with the 2024 ET7 sedan on April 16, the first test of the ultra-long-range battery pack since its mass production.
Keep in mind, William Li, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Nio, drove a prototype 2023 ET7 with a 150-kWh semi-solid-state battery in a range challenge on December 18, 2023, and after 1,044 kilometers of driving, there was 3% battery capacity remaining which means 36 km of CLTC range left. The test was live-streamed.
Earlier this month, the first mass-produced 150-kWh battery pack version rolled off the assembly line. For the latest range challenge, Nio used three 2024 ET7s with 150-kWh battery packs on three different routes: from Kunming, Yunnan to Zhanjiang, Guangdong; from Beijing to Hefei, Anhui; and from Shanghai to Xiamen, Fujian.
The 2024 ET7 ran out of power after traveling 1,070 kilometers on the Kunming-Zhanjiang route. The details of the test on the route are:
Energy consumption: 12.7 kWh per 100 km.
Driving time: 12.8 hours.
Length of time to complete test: 15.9 hours.
Average speed: 83.7 km/h.
Maximum speed: 118 km/h.

The ET7 ran out of battery power after traveling 1,046 kilometers on the route from Shanghai to Xiamen. The details of the test on the route are:
Energy consumption: 13.3 kWh per 100 km.
Driving time: 13.1 hours.
Length of time to complete test: 15.2 hours.
