NextEV launches new brand ‘NIO’ and its first electric car: 1 MW supercar with 265 miles range & top speed of 194 mph

Today, electric car startup NextEV launched a new brand ‘NIO’ and its first electric car ‘NIO EP9’ at the Saatchi Gallery in London. The company is claiming that the ‘NIO EP9’ is the “fastest electric car in the world” after releasing lap records of the vehicle beating EV records in Nürburgring and at Circuit Paul Ricard in France over the past few weeks.



The ‘NIO EP9’ is equipped with “four high-performance inboard motors and four individual gearboxes” capacble of torque vectoring. The powertrain can deliver up to 1 megawatt of power and 24,000 Newtons of downforce at 240 km/h (150 mph).

The vehicle can achieve a top speed of 313 km/h (194 mph) – narrowly beating the Rimac Concept_One, which until now was the electric supercar to beat in all performance specs.

But there’s no doubt that the NIO EP9’s performance specs are seriously shaking Rimac’s position at the top and in some cases, they are setting a new benchmark for electric supercars.
