The next generation of vehicles is going electric and in 2017 Nio EP9 took to lead the sports EV market. Its design and power scream high-performance with a build that cuts through the air easily. This vehicle is the first of its kind in the world and its numbers are top class.
The maximum speed of this vehicle hits 217mph with an acceleration that takes it to 124.3mph in only 7.1 seconds. This makes it the fastest sports EV that is currently available, it is also a beast of power. The range of this car is 427km on a single charge, with over 1MW of peak power coming from its four electric motors.

Nio also brags that this vehicle has the downforce of an F1 racing car. This means that no matter how on the track a rider is on, the car will stay in place. Battery power on this vehicle comes with a power train of 777V. These numbers are impressive, but Nio needs to brace itself for the coming competition.
Originally this car launched back in 2017 and ever since then other EVs have caught up with the Nio EP9. The range of this sports EV isn’t up to some vehicles from other companies. Speed is also slacking back as we now have EVs with more than 200mph as their maximum. Nio might still be clear of them in terms of acceleration, but not for long.
We are also now seeing traditional performance car brands readying themselves to enter the EV market. Alpine is a good example that Nio needs to look out for in the nearest future. Will Nio stay in the confinement of SUVs and saloon electric cars, or will they take the bull by the horn?
We are more than ready for the next high-performance EV from Nio. The market competition is also readying to launch their high-performance EVs. Will the Nio EP9 have a successor to carry on its legacy, or is this just a fading reputation?
