The wait time for NIO's (NYSE: NIO) coupe SUV EC7 became slightly longer on the day deliveries began, while the wait time for its flagship sedan ET7 became shorter.

The expected delivery date for the NIO EC7 is now about 5 weeks, up from about 4 weeks previously, information from the NIO App monitored by CnEVPost shows.

The model was launched on NIO Day 2022, December 24, 2022, and the first deliveries began on April 28, slightly ahead of NIO's original plan of mid-May.

On April 21, the NIO App saw significant changes to the vehicle configurator, and the ET7 flagship sedan wait time started showing again, with the EC7 going from May to about 4 weeks.

NIO ET7 now has a wait time of about 3 weeks, compared to about 4 weeks previously.

NIO's website and app currently showcase seven models -- the new ES8, ES7, new ES6, EC7, EC6, ET7, and ET5.

In the vehicle configurator of the NIO App, there are 5 models available -- new ES8, ES7, EC7, ET7, ET5. The configurator of the new ES6 and EC6 based on the NT 1.0 platform is not available.

Wait time information for all other NIO models remains unchanged, with the new ES8 still showing deliveries expected to start in June, the ES7 waiting time is about 3 weeks, and the ET5 about 2 weeks.

On the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, NIO launched the 2023 ET7 and unveiled the new ES6. The price of the new ET7 is the same as the previous version, while the price of the new ES6 was not announced.

NIO EC7 officially started delivery on April 28, earlier than the original plan of mid-May.

NIO did not announce the number of EC7s delivered in the first batch, but said the company held delivery ceremonies in cities including Hefei, Shenzhen, Guiyang, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Taizhou and Nanjing.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) began the first deliveries of the EC7 coupe SUV today, surprisingly ahead of its original schedule.

Deliveries of the NIO EC7 officially kicked off on April 28, the company said today on its mobile app, and shared several images.

The EC7 was launched on NIO Day 2022 on December 24, 2022, and the new ES8 was also launched at the event.

NIO announced plans at the time that deliveries of the EC7 would begin in May and deliveries of the new ES8 would begin in June.

The company began allowing consumers to lock in orders for the EC7 and test drive the vehicle on April 10. It said at the time that deliveries of customized vehicles for the EC7 would begin in mid-May.

The early start of EC7 deliveries could be part of NIO's effort to accelerate making its new models available to boost weak sales.

NIO delivered 10,378 vehicles in March, up 3.94 percent from 9,985 a year earlier but down 14.6 percent from 12,157 in February, according to figures it announced on April 1.

NIO's deliveries have been weak so far this month, with insurance registrations for its vehicles totaling slightly above 4,000 units from April 3 to April 23.

The EC7, NIO's second coupe SUV after the EC6, is 4,968 mm long, 1,974 mm wide and 1,714 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,960 mm.

For comparison, the EC6 is 4,850 mm long, 1,965 mm wide and 1,731/1,714 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm.

NIO offers an intelligent dimming glass option for the EC7's roof, the first time the company has introduced this option in one of its models.

The EC7 has a wind resistance coefficient of just 0.23 Cd, which NIO said is the lowest of any mass-produced SUV in the world.

The model is equipped with a 180-kW permanent magnet motor up front and a 300-kW induction motor in the rear, allowing the motor to reach a combined peak power of 480 kW. The powertrain allows the EC7 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, making it NIO's fastest-accelerating SUV.

NIO currently offers three versions of the EC7, including a version with a 75-kWh standard range battery pack, a version with a 100-kWh battery pack, and a premiere version with a 100-kWh battery pack.

Including the battery, the starting prices for these three versions are RMB 488,000 ($70,560), RMB 546,000 and RMB 578,000 respectively.

Customers who choose NIO's battery rental program BaaS (battery as a service) to purchase the car will see the prices start at RMB 418,000 for both regular versions and RMB 450,000 for the premiere version. Their monthly battery rental costs are RMB 980 yuan, 1,680 yuan and 1,680 yuan respectively.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with China's state conglomerate China Resources to collaborate on a variety of fronts, the electric vehicle (EV) maker said yesterday.

The two signed the agreement on April 26 at an NIO House in Hefei, Anhui province, in the presence of William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO, and Wang Xiangming, chairman of China Resources, according to an article posted on the NIO App.

NIO and China Resources will cooperate in areas including commercial space leasing and construction, charging and battery swap infrastructure investment and construction, campus and community energy management, new material applications, and consumer services, according to the article.

China Resources is a large state-owned enterprise with major businesses in consumer, energy, urban construction and operations, health, industrial finance, technology and emerging industries.

By the end of 2022, China Resources had total assets of more than RMB 2.3 trillion and was ranked 70th on the Fortune 500 in 2022.

NIO started working with China Resources in 2018, opening more showrooms in the latter's operated properties than any other partner.

By the end of March 2023, NIO had opened 46 NIO Houses and NIO Spaces in commercial real estate projects managed by China Resources, according to the article in the NIO App.

The article did not provide more details on the possible future collaboration between the two. For NIO, it will need the support of partners, especially property operators, in increasing the number of showrooms as well as charging and battery swap infrastructure.

NIO has an aggressive plan to add 1,000 battery swap stations and 10,000 charging piles this year to ensure it provides a continuous energy replenishment experience for owners.

"People always think of battery swap when they think of NIO, but we're actually doing a great job with charging facilities as well … we will be determined to build the infrastructure," Li said in a speech at a forum earlier this month.

NIO Capital has invested in a local Chinese silicon carbide (SiC) chip maker as it continues to expand its investments in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry chain.

The company recently co-led a several hundred million yuan Series A+ round of financing for Qingchun Semiconductor (or SICHAIN), which will be used to improve the SiC chip maker's supply chain layout, expand its team and build mass production labs, according to a press release today.

Founded in March 2021, Qingchun's core team members have been involved in SiC semiconductor technology for more than 20 years and are one of the few companies in China currently capable of achieving world-class performance and reliability of SiC devices, according to NIO Capital.

The SiC chip maker is also one of the companies able to mass produce automotive SiC MOSFETs based on its production line in China, and its products have been used in new energy power generation and NEVs, according to the release.

Since its inception, Qingchun has made a series of significant advances in SiC device technology and product development, including the maturation of its 1200V SiC MOSFET platform technology and the mass production of multiple products.

The company launched the first 15V drive SiC MOSFET to be mass-produced in China, shipping nearly one million units to various industries, particularly photovoltaics and energy storage, according to the release.

Qingchun also launched the 1200V 14mΩ SiC MOSFET, which has the lowest on-resistance and is currently being validated by several vehicle companies, according to NIO Capital.

The SiC market is spacious and growing fast, with a wide range of application scenarios in areas such as NEVs, and Qingchun is one of the best startups in China for that, said Ian Zhu, managing partner of NIO Capital.

Earlier today, Geely's electric vehicle brand Zeekr announced a long-term supply agreement with US chip maker Onsemi involving silicon carbide power devices.

Zeekr will use Onsemi's M3E 1200V EliteSiC MOSFET products to complement its expanding lineup of high-performance all-electric models, according to a press release.

The SiC module is an upgrade to the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor chip) module, a third-generation power semiconductor with higher efficiency, higher temperature resistance and higher voltage characteristics.

The module will help upgrade the electrical architecture of NEVs from 400V to 800V and enable NEVs to charge from 0 to 80 percent in 10 minutes.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) will continue to allow its car owners unlimited free access to battery swap stations along highways in China for the upcoming golden week, following a similar campaign earlier this year.

For the upcoming Labor Day holiday, all NIO owners will have unlimited free access to battery swap stations along highways, the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced today on its mobile app.

The Labor Day holiday in China runs from April 29 to May 3 this year, and NIO owners will have free access to these battery swap stations from April 28 to May 4, although vehicles used for operations are excluded.

Most NIO owners currently have the benefit of four to six free battery swaps per month, with a few early adopters having unlimited access to the service.

The benefits NIO is offering for the upcoming holiday season are in addition to the benefits owners already have.

The company offered similar benefits during the Chinese New Year holiday earlier this year, allowing for a spike in the number of services offered at its battery swap stations.

NIO offered free access to battery swap stations from January 13 to February 5 during this year's Chinese New Year holiday, which ran from January 21 to January 27.

On January 27, NIO's battery swap stations reached an all-time high of 62,356 services in a single day, according to its previously announced data.

The free battery swap service provided during the Chinese New Year holiday did not put additional cost pressure on NIO, as the revenue generated by its charging stations at the time largely covered those costs, the company said at a media briefing in early February.

As of April 25, NIO had 1,369 battery swap stations in China, including 362 along highways, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

The company also has 2,512 charging stations in China, providing 14,903 charging piles.

NIO's goal is to add 1,000 battery swap stations this year, bringing the number of facilities to 2,300 by the end of 2023.
