The name is derived from E means “Electric”, S means “SUV”, the ES8 is an SUV and 8 refers to its model range in Nio’s Performance product range i.e., 1-9, “9” being the top of the range.
Nio tested [4] the vehicle for thousands of kilometres in Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, China and Australia to test the car's winter and summer economy and cold and hot temperature performance.[5]
Nio is cooperating with a number of suppliers including Bosch.[6]
The ES8 is powered by a 70 kWh or 84 kWh lithium-ion battery pack (Upgraded to 100 kWh in 2019), that is also swappable. [7]
The ES8 is a 6 or 7-seater full-size production car, with a wheelbase of 2,997 mm (118 in) and a body length of 5,022 mm (198 in). The body and chassis are completely aluminum (96.4 %), and the drivetrain is all-wheel drive as standard, and also features active air suspension.

In March 2020, a revised ES8 was released. It uses a combination of 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) permanent magnet and 240 kW (322 hp; 326 PS) induction magnet motors. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.9 seconds[10] and a NEDC extended range of up to 580 km (360 mi).[11] From 2020, the digital cockpit was upgraded to a 9.8-inch display with an 11.3-inch high-definition multi-touch center display. The NOMI Mate 2.0 features an industry-first circular AMOLED display, with much larger active display area. Additionally, ES8 comes with a smart charging port cover and NFC key card. Euro NCAP, in September 2021, confirmed a 5 star rating for the ES8.[12]
