Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.
Calculated from sustained 10-80% DC fast charging speed, cold-weather aerodynamic drag, and official WLTP range (360 km224 mi).
The official combined WLTP range for the NIO EL8 Standard Range is 360 km (224 miles).
Compare with the NIO EL8 Long Range.
In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 259 km (161 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.
Charging the 73.5 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 6 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 8.9 hours (typically overnight).
The NIO EL8 Standard Range supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 140 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 31 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.
At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €17.64. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €47.77.
