According to news on July 12, Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer NIO recently announced that it has postponed the mass production node of its self-made batteries and will continue to advance the project according to the new schedule. Nio has slowed down some equipment purchases for battery factories. According to Weilai's response, this decision was made due to business needs, and they are advancing the new mass production time according to normal project progress.
It is understood that Weilai began to form a battery research and development team in 2021, and launched the construction of a battery factory in Hefei in February this year. It is expected that with a planned production capacity of 40GWh, the factory will be able to meet the battery requirements for 400,000 vehicles.
According to the editor’s understanding, NIO has also recently released more information about the 150kWh battery pack for the ES6 model, which is expected to go on sale this month. This new battery pack weighs 575 kilograms and contains 384 battery cells with an energy density of 360Wh/kg and a cruising range of up to 930 kilometers.
It is understood that the size of the new 150kWh battery pack is the same as that of CATL, with the length, width and height being 2062, 1539 and 185.6 mm respectively. The construction of NIO's battery factory and the delay in producing its own batteries have a significant impact on the company's battery supply chain and production capacity planning. NIO's progress in independent battery research and development has attracted much attention, and their battery technology will have a key impact on the performance and competitiveness of its new energy vehicles.
The above is the detailed content of NIO releases details of 150kWh battery pack for ES6 model with cruising range of 930 kilometers. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
