This year's NIO Day was held in Suzhou, a paradise on earth, after users voted. Although affected by the epidemic, the number of people in the main venue in Suzhou has been reduced by half, but the sub-venues held in various places have also received enthusiastic participation from users. Shanghai Weihai Road Branch is one of them, and I have the honor to participate in it.
At the event site, Wei Lai, as the organizer, prepared tea breaks, dinners and various interactive games for the upcoming users and audiences. The scene is very lively. The overall atmosphere is dominated by very warm colors, which makes Shanghai, where the temperature has plummeted recently, warm up.
The live broadcast of NIO Day officially started at 19: 00 in the evening. With the live broadcast, the users at the scene also concentrated on the live broadcast screen from the lively communication. In addition to introducing the achievements of Weilai service system this year and the planning for next year, the most important thing in this live broadcast is the appearance of the new model ET5, which is Weilai's second new energy vehicle besides ET7.
With the speech of Li Bin, the founder of Weilai, the live broadcast of Weilai NIO Day officially started. Li Bin showed Weilai's efforts and achievements in the past year to users and audiences, and also promised users that Weilai's service in 2022 will be more perfect, including the leap-forward growth in the number and scope of power station replacement, over-charging piles and destination charging piles. Moreover, the power exchange station also cooperates with Sinopec, PetroChina and Shell, the three largest gas stations in China, and can realize the service policy that charging is more convenient than refueling in the future.
At the same time, in view of the endurance problem that all new energy vehicles and users who are considering new energy vehicles are worried about, Weilai has also arranged power exchange stations in several service areas of G6 and G7 lines, so that Weilai users can go to farther and more remote areas like fuel owners without worrying about the endurance problem when driving Weilai.
This time, the most important ET5 also made its grand debut under the introduction of Li Bin. This is the second car owned by Weilai after ET7, and the body length of 4.8 meters has reached the size of a medium-sized car. Moreover, ET5 draws lessons from the smooth lines of ET7, and the overall body streamline is very futuristic and trendy. This is a dynamic young car.
In particular, the lateral lines of ET5 are fused with Weilai's super-running gene. I have to say that ET5 is the model with the highest value in my opinion. Although many coupes adopt streamlined design, the design of ET5 is not only streamlined, but also has a muscular outline, like a tall person with a little muscle, which makes people shine.
ET5 offers 9 body colors to choose from, among which headroom powder and cloud yellow are exclusive colors of ET5, and the annual space blue will also be carried. Personally, I prefer the early Huang Yun, which is novel but not lacking in endurance.
The penetrating rear taillight is my favorite point in design. With the hatchback design, I believe that after mass production and delivery, the recognition of driving on the road must be very high. Although ET5 has only been seen in the live video of the sub-venue, its face value has successfully captured me. I am also looking forward to seeing its real car more and more, and I am also looking forward to the test drive with it.
The interior style of ET5 still follows Weilai's family style, with a sense of technology and temperature, and maintains a consistent exquisite design. This time, ET5 also improved the acoustic effect of the carriage. The air outlet is changed to be hidden, which makes the interior more integrated. In terms of configuration, it comes standard with frameless electric suction door and concealed door handle, numeric keys based on UWB technology, and 7. 1.4 Dolby panoramic sound system. Moreover, Weilai is equipped with many latest technologies on ET5, such as Weilai panoramic digital cockpit panoramic cinema based on AR/VR technology. In terms of configuration, it can be called "luxury decoration".
In terms of intelligent assisted driving, Weilai is also equipped with the latest technology NAD, which can gradually realize a completely relaxed point-to-point intelligent assisted driving experience. And the function is in the form of monthly payment, which can be enjoyed at 680 per month.
On the battery pack, ET5 can still provide 75kWh(CLTC battery life is 550km) and 100kWh(CLTC battery life is 700km) for users to choose from. In the future, battery packs with long battery life (150kWh) and battery life exceeding 1000km will be added.
The price of ET5, which everyone is most concerned about, was also announced by NIO DAY in Li Bin today. The pre-subsidy price of ET5 is 328,000 yuan, and the pre-subsidy price of BaaS battery rental scheme is 258,000 yuan. Delivery is expected to begin in September 2022.
This year's NIO Day, we saw Wei Lai's brilliant achievements today, and this achievement is the nirvana that Wei Lai has been making progress and climbing in the mud for seven years. From the creation edition of ES8 to the release of ET5 today, Weilai has experienced ups and downs, and has been steadfast in the storm, relying on the trust and support of users, and has come to today step by step. Life, if bitter, will be sweet. After the experience, Weilai will bring one exciting product after another, which will not only let users and consumers enjoy the products, but also, more importantly, inspire users with the indomitable spirit of China brand, and drive China entrepreneurs who share the same dream to fight for it.
