Everyone is cheering for NIO, but will you pay for it?
Just yesterday, NIO released its first mass-produced SUV. The launch site was amazing. The new car's appearance was amazing, the data was amazing, and the price was amazing. Indeed, the development speed of electric vehicles has exceeded everyone's imagination. Will fuel vehicles soon become extinct?


First, let's look at the ES8's data. With a 70 kWh battery pack, it has a total output of 650 horsepower, a peak torque of 840 Nm, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. This acceleration performance is already the same as that of the Porsche 911 (2016 Carrera), which has a starting price of 1.318 million yuan.


In addition to its fast acceleration, the ES8 also brakes quickly, taking only 33.8m to accelerate from 100 to 0km/h, which is much better than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (36.9m) which is equipped with the PSCB braking system and has an official guide price of RMB 1.998 million.


The base version of ES8 is 448,000 yuan, and the version without battery is 100,000 yuan cheaper (battery rental is 1,280 yuan/month) at 348,000 yuan. Add in new energy subsidies and local subsidies, and it is about 270,000 yuan. In many big cities, there is a policy of giving away license plate quotas for new energy vehicles. If calculated according to the price of Guangzhou's personal license plate quota (about 30,000 yuan), the cheapest price of the bare car is about 240,000 yuan!!!


The cheapest four-wheel drive version of Highlander, which is also a seven-seater SUV, has an official guide price of 258,800 yuan. So the appearance of ES8 has indeed shocked many traditional car manufacturers.


Moreover, with NIO’s product line, from the earliest EP9 to the current ES8, it is not difficult to predict that NIO will have more affordable models while maintaining a very high "price-performance ratio".


The car is indeed facing a major change, becoming faster, cheaper, and less noticeable. Based on what we know about the ES8, judging from the data alone, it is definitely a good car, and it is a great value for money compared to most cars on the market. If it succeeds, it will definitely bring a wave of rhythm. After all, electric motors are simpler and cheaper than internal combustion engines , and their working principle brings ample space and better NVH.


In addition, some emerging manufacturers can avoid the internal combustion engine technology patents controlled by many leading automobile manufacturers. Weilai's battery replacement and fast charging modes have also solved many of the shortcomings faced by current electric vehicles, and the graphene batteries that are still in the conceptual stage are also ready to blossom.

In short, traditional cars have been around for hundreds of years and are almost at the end of their life.


Perhaps the inventor of the car never thought that the car would be so popular among car enthusiasts. Maybe he really just wanted to create a means of transportation, or just thought of an excellent money-making project, but in the subsequent development, the car has taken on more and more roles.


(The Beetle was originally a tool for Hitler to make money.) Today's electric cars, in addition to faster speeds, have no other reason to make you adrenaline rush and make you excited. You will no longer stop after parking your car just to look at the carefully studied lines of the designers. You will no longer have the opportunity to hear the sound of the exhaust manifold carefully designed by the engineers.


It’s not that we are nostalgic, but in a sense, old things are indeed better. In fact, mechanical watches have gone through this stage as early as the birth of electronic watches .


In terms of accuracy, an electronic watch that costs just over a dozen dollars may be better than a tourbillon mechanical watch.


Digital watches are useful, but they are definitely not something you dream of buying or using as wallpaper. The same goes for cars. If cars are replaced by electric cars, they will become boring in addition to being cheaper. The car review industry may even disappear.


As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity.
