Going to 200 km / h in an electric car in just 7,1 seconds? It's now possible with the Nio EP9 from Chinese startup NetEV. Design and breathtaking, this car was officially unveiled to the public on Monday 21 November. But if the presentation was only made this month, it is good to note that the car has already made a circle on the Nürburgring, established in Germany, to make a name and reputation there. The bet proved to be successful given that whoever wants to be new to the electric market broke the speed record set by Tesla on October 12: 7 minutes 5 seconds versus 7 minutes 22 seconds for the California brand's car. On November 4th, the Nio EP9 also challenged the Paul Ricarda circuit in Var and in this case finished 47 seconds behind the last recorded record.
