This video chronicles an ambitious road trip from Shanghai to Beijing in the NIO ET7, focusing on China's EV infrastructure, including fast charging and battery swapping. The reviewers highlight the ET7's 'Executive' trim and the ability to swap in a larger 150 kWh battery pack, significantly extending range. While the battery swapping technology is praised for its speed and convenience, the journey wasn't without its challenges, including navigation issues, payment system glitches, and the occasional speed limit restrictions imposed by the car. The reviewers found the ride comfortable, especially with the executive features, and noted the impressive highway infrastructure. Despite some technical hiccups and the car's less aggressive acceleration compared to performance EVs, the overall impression is positive, showcasing the viability of long-distance EV travel in China with NIO's unique ecosystem.
