ET5 Long Range

The NIO ET5 Long Range is a 5-seat saloon with all-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €68,500 in Germany and €71,700 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds, quicker than 84% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 311 miles (500 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 80% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 31st of 48 saloons.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (180 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 90 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 100 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 307 miles (494 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2022 example is estimated at €22,100–€25,900 and a 2025 one at €39,000–€44,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 286 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
