I successfully completed an ultra-high speed dual tire blowout challenge at 153km/h during the NIO ES9 winter test in Yakeshi. With our safety control system responding in just 0.3s, the car came to a safe stop and stayed under control even on the icy and snowy road.🚗❄️ Safety is always our top priority, and we'll keep pushing to deliver the safest cars for our users.

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.15 is LIVE! Chatted with Mr. Wang Shaoping, a 75-year-old ET9 user who truly lives by "Vision, Action." At 70, he bought an NIO ES6, and drove alone from Shanghai to Xizang. One person, one car, and one incredible journey. Five years later, he's planning to do it again with ET9. And unlike last time, our battery swap route on the National Highway 318 will soon be fully set up, Mr. Wang could enjoy his road trip with battery swapping all the way.

🎬ET9 Talks EP3: Had an amazing chat with Dr. Herbert Diess, former CEO of Volkswagen. Last year, we challenged a 5-layer champagne tower with ET9. Fast forward to Auto Shanghai, and he said, "ET9 is the most sophisticated car in China, and will certainly give an impulse to the premium market dominated by German brands." Grateful for the recognition! #NIO #ET9 #ET9Talks #Innovation #BlueSkyComing #AutoShanghai2025 #Technology

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.18 is LIVE! Chatted with our ET9 user, Mr. Chu Bing, Chairman of Xunying Group. Mr. Chu plugged into power-battery recycling back in 2015 — when there were no industry standards, a "no man's land." Fast forward to today, Xunying finally jumped on the wave of battery retirement, and its long-termism truly paid off. Mr. Chu sees NIO's battery swapping the same way: not just saving time for our users, but a future value generator. Love his vivid metaphor, "It's like an energy goldmine, and later, you'll be able to trade flour for bread." Tune in to this episode to hear more. Let's Jiadian!⚡ #NIO #ET9 #ET9Talks #BatterySwapping

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.25 is LIVE! Had a great chat with our ET9 user, Mr. Jin Mingzhuo, founder of Weilaiti Advertising Media. Not long after he picked up the ET9, he road-tripped around the Ali region and drove all the way to Mount Gang Rinpoche. As a young entrepreneur who's owned a Mercedes AMG, Tesla Model X, and Audi A8, here are his key insights on the ET9: 💡 As an executive flagship sedan, ET9 outshines foreign rivals in looks, features and tech. 💡 European and American luxury cars represent an era, and ET9 is leading the new one. 💡 Choosing ET9 is a choice of spirit: backing homegrown and original brands, embracing technology, and turning vision into action.

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.8 is LIVE! Had a great chat with Mr. Yuan Yongfeng, the Director & GM of DSBJ. It went from a small sheet-metal factory in 1980s Suzhou to a global precision manufacturing company in 45 years. Mr. Yuan's key takeaway? Never rest on your laurels—China's manufacturing industry is going more tech-driven. As the NIO ET9 owner, he also raved about the car's "luxurious yet balanced design".

ET9 Talks is Live!🎬 I'll be kicking back in the rear seats of the ET9, having dialogue with innovators from different industries about their stories. The first guest is renowned financial writer and entrepreneur Mr. Wu Xiaobo, who is also an ET9 user. Mr. Wu said that of "think boldly, act decisively" has been a common trait among Chinese entrepreneurs for over the past 40 years. "Think boldly" is about rational vision, while "act decisively" is all about leading the way. His insights were spot on and truly inspiring. I'm looking forward to the amazing conversations ahead.

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.22 is LIVE! Had a great chat with Prof. Alex Yang from London Business School. He has done a deep research on battery swapping and calls it one of NIO's core competitive edges. He highlighted three clear benefits: 🔋 Real convenience for users 🔋 Better support for grid stability 🔋 Stronger guarantees for battery safety On August 16, we'll complete the swap route along G318 Sichuan-Xizang Expressway, and NIO and ONVO users will be able to swap all the way to Mt.

🎬 ET9 Talks Ep.24 is LIVE! Chatted with our ET9 user, Mr. Steven Lin, GM of Joeone. As a second-generation leader of a 36-year men's trousers brand, he continuously led the company to push the limit of craftsmanship by tackling technical difficulties, and even achieved the fibers as fine as 1/8 the width of a human hair. That same pursuit of quality is exactly what we put into the ET9. The reason Steven picked ET9: its tech advancement meets humanity, plus no range anxiety through battery swapping. As he put it, "Both Joeone and NIO are human-centric, striving for a better future, bringing Chinese tech and culture to the world." Catch the full episode.
