The NIO ET7 is a flagship electric sedan from China’s NIO with 640 horsepower, a 0–62 mph time of about 3.8 seconds and a choice of 75 kWh or 100 kWh batteries that can be swapped at NIO stations in about five minutes. Revealed in January 2021 and built in Hefei since March 2022, it is sold in China and a handful of European markets rather than through US dealers. Borro lends against rare, imported and high-value cars in the US, so owners can raise capital without selling.

How Does NIO Battery Swapping Work?
Instead of plugging in, an ET7 driver can pull into a NIO swap station, where a robot removes the depleted pack from underneath the car and fits a charged one. Reviewers who have used the system put the exchange at about five minutes. Owners can also buy the car without a battery and subscribe to one monthly, which lowers the purchase price.
Swap stations are concentrated in China, with far fewer in Europe, so the feature matters most near the network. Elsewhere the ET7 charges like any other EV, at a peak DC rate of roughly 130 to 140 kW depending on the pack.
Autonomous Driving Hardware
The ET7 carries NIO’s Aquila sensor suite: 33 sensors including seven 8-megapixel cameras, four surround-view cameras, one long-range lidar, five millimeter-wave radars and twelve ultrasonic sensors. Its ADAM computing platform was upgraded in the 2024 refresh to four Nvidia Orin X chips. The hardware supports advanced driver assistance, but the ET7 is not a self-driving car, and the driver remains responsible.
How Much Does the NIO ET7 Cost?
When NIO opened European sales in 2022, launch reports priced the ET7 from about €69,900 in Germany when bought without a battery and on a monthly battery subscription. Buying it outright with a battery cost roughly €82,000 to €91,000 depending on pack size. Those are launch figures and have changed since, so confirm current pricing with NIO in your market.
Is the NIO ET7 Sold in the US?
No. NIO does not sell the ET7 through US dealers. Its overseas sales have focused on Europe, where deliveries began in October 2022 in Germany and the Netherlands, followed by Denmark and Sweden. A US example would be a private import, which brings registration, compliance and service questions that vary by state.
What the ET7’s Sales Numbers Mean for Value
The ET7 is a low-volume car. NIO delivered about 23,000 in China in 2022, then roughly 5,600 in 2023, 7,200 in 2024 and about 3,100 in 2025. A small production run can make a car rare, but it also means fewer comparable sales, so valuation depends heavily on the specific car and where it sits. That is where an expert appraisal matters.
Can You Get a Loan Against a NIO ET7 or Another Rare Car?
Borro reviews rare and imported vehicles one at a time. To be considered, a car needs a current market value of $50,000 or more and clear US title, with proof of ownership, service receipts and ownership history. Borro lends up to 50% of the appraised value, with a minimum loan of $25,000. If your car is not a fit, the same process applies to the rest of your collection, from other luxury and classic cars to watches, jewelry and art.
- No credit check and no personal guarantee. The asset secures the loan, and Borro does not ask for personal or business financial statements.
- Fast funding. Once your loan is approved, funds can arrive in as little as one business day.
- You keep ownership. Your car is held in fully insured, secure safekeeping for the loan term and returned when you repay.
