Where an electric NIO ET5 / ET7 deserves extra scrutiny

  • Charging port and onboard charger. The port, cables and AC charging are tested for reliable, fault-free operation.
  • Range versus rated. We compare the indicated range and consumption with what the car should deliver to spot a weak pack.
  • Software and recalls. Stored fault codes and outstanding software or recall items are checked, as EVs depend heavily on their software.
  • DC fast-charge behaviour. Charging performance and any throttling or errors are checked, because a battery that won't fast-charge cleanly is a red flag.
  • Thermal management. We look for coolant leaks and stored thermal faults that quietly shorten battery life.
