NIO unveils electric sedan concept and the charging infrastructure addition

NIO is sometimes being called 'the Chinese Tesla'. The automaker already launched two models (ES6 and ES8 SUVs), set the new Nurburgring lap record with all-electric racing prototype and develops a network of branded battery-swap stations across China.

Now NIO unveiled the concept of a luxury sedan ET Preview at the Shanghai motorshow. The automaker did not released the car's specs yet, however, NIO also showcased a new powertrain platform that luckily will serve for the production ET.



The platform is equipped with nickel-cobalt-manganese battery pack with a carbon fiber body, and a pair of electric motors on both axles. NIO claims the cruising range to hit 510 km (320 mile) on a single charge. The company also brought fast DC charging stations which should complement battery-swap technology.
