NIO ET7 DRIVING REVIEW - WILL THE CHINESE TESLA CRUSH THE EV MARKET?

EV Channels Review

The Nio ET7 presents a compelling package with impressive hardware, excellent build quality, and a comfortable, quiet ride, particularly on the German Autobahn. The reviewer highlights its sleek design, spacious interior, and advanced features like autonomous driving preparation and a unique voice assistant, Nomi. However, significant drawbacks prevent a full endorsement. The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, slow fast-charging capabilities, and the intrusive, overly playful Nomi interface are major concerns. Furthermore, the subscription-only sales model in Europe and the use of animal skin for seats (though alternatives are promised for future models) detract from its appeal. While Nio shows immense promise with its hardware and potential, the ET7, in its current form, is deemed a 'no buy' due to these critical shortcomings, despite its strong foundation.
