A few weeks ago Elliot had a go in the Wuling Mini, the cheapest EV currently available. Today he will be driving not only the most expensive EV ever built, but also the fastest.
The EP9 (Electric Prototype 9) was actually the first car Nio built several years ago but unlike the ES8, the ET7 and the ES6 that we have featured on the channel, this car is not road legal. This electric supercar has set the records for the fastest lap of an electric vehicle at several global racing tracks.
This car was designed from the inside out and the interior, like the exterior and chassis, is made entirely of carbon fiber. The two side batteries can be swapped in just 8 minutes which is pretty handy for an electric racing car!
But how will Elliot get on when he takes this jet fighter of a car out on the track?

Hurray for Elliot - watching him is like I'm there myself. I have nothing in common with motoring journalists but I can relate to Elliot.
First time I've seen Elliot lost for words, I'd just love to be the passenger.
Butterfly doors.
1 mega watt is 1 million watts, aka 1000KW.
Impressive cars just for the track, Elliott was obviously a little excited/nervous about driving this beast. 👍😁
And those doors are called dihedral I believe. But who cares? :-D
In Laymans terms: butterfly doors…
Yes, he probably just misspoke.
TFW you hear the very knowledgeable presenter say "1 Mw is 1,000 watts" and you wonder if you hallucinated hearing that, so you check the comments for corrections. lol Yup, I'm sure he knows that and just misspoke in the moment.
@@iteerrex8166 Does missspoke translate as moutho? Or spoko?
It’s sounds like a sci-fi spaceship!
I'm so jealous of Elliot given that experience to drive this EV supercar!
Elliot, that was awesome!!! You're such a nice, unassuming gentleman, a real asset to the channel. I always enjoy your video's, thank you!. Keep them coming, please. ;-)
"...motor on almost every corner ..." grinning almost hurt
Oh, leave him alone ffs.......
He was all excited........!!
Motors could have been inboard / centerline, with axles reaching out to the wheels on the corners? :D
Awesome car. Great video. Keep up the good work.
One of the most underrated automotive creations ever. This thing is a secret beast.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is faster and costs 1/10 the price. Not much beast going on.
Hell. My Tri motor Cybertruck will be as fast as this and only cost $70,000 vs. a $1.2 Million NIO EP9.
@@Micro2Macr0 Really.
I expect you'll want it delivered by one of Elon's fantasy electric HGV, despite the fact that 'AS IS', it will be impossible for Tesla to register the Cyber Truck for use on the road. Oh and he hasn't delivered on the electric HGV yet either...
@@Micro2Macr0 The max speed doubles Tesla model s plaid.
@@Micro2Macr0 0-60speed means nothing.
Bang-on content yet again - top channel with top, fresh presenters (who are only getting better....)👍
For those who miss the sound of an ICE car, listen to this - then they put on a loud blast of synthesized orchestral noise!
This ^^ and they didn't even bother to wait for the acceleration out of the corner.
glad someone else noticed this, i want raw footage of the whole two laps!
It sounds great, when we get to instant recharge / solid state, then we can really look forward. I'm not sure if its this car or the VW but after 2-3 laps it was dead and needed to come in.
Most of the sound is from the gearbox!
@@PedroSalgueiro Yes, straight cut gear(s) by the sound of it.
Absolutely brilliant video lads! Great stuff!
Wow, that is one amazing looking, performing and sounding EV! Must have taken real guts to get in and drive it ........ well done and thanks for the video!
NIO has all the incredible technology ! GO NIO
Need to get the Rimac Nevera tested. Think it would be quicker than the EP9 and is road-legal and homologated for all markets. :)
Exactly
exactly.. :)
Do you think rimac will give another person a go after Richard Hammond crashed a customers one at high speed? 😂
would've liked this drive a bit more uncut. 10 minute video for such a rarity/experience seems a bit of a wasted opportunity to show us the drive. Perhaps throw it on Fully charged plus? :)
Elliot, that must of been an experience of a lifetime?!
Thanks for over the top synthesized music, would've been great to hear the car
Still amazes me that Ferrari and even Porsche (911) are saying that the sound of the V6/8/10/12 is the only thing that sets them aside from their competitors so they are sticking with ICE until the end. Really ? Clearly the future is going to be with companies like Nio and Rimac who are just getting on with it and turning out amazing cars that are going to be aspirational to the next generation.
Brilliant! Elliot you make this channel top notch!
I would have like to have seen it driven by a professional racing driver to get a real perspective of how fast this is.
look on youtube. There is video.
WOW . Very good. What a amazing looking car.
The best-sounding electric by far
If Nio could kindly bring over a few for the fully charge Fully Charged LIVE I would buy tickets rights now if I could have a go in one.
What an amazing design and the speed is just something else, such a shame they don't make a road going version as I'm sure it would sell (not me as I am about $1.2M short) :(
What a machine. Can’t wait for the range of Nio EV’s to come to the UK
Wow, Elliot, you one lucky bastard you! :-D
Getting better Elliot!
Congrats!!
incredible!
Awesome 👍
6:00
Too excited, huh?
1 MW = 1000 kW, not 1000 W. 😁👍
Amazing for the year 2017, 100%
''Four motors... one for almost every corner!'' made me chuckle
Vier Räder, an jeder Ecke eins, und so angebracht, dass sie bis zum Boden reichen. Der OMW 2000. 😁
What a car 👍🏻
love your video... @6:04 "1 Megawatt of power, that's a thousand watts"... howler ... it's a million watts... I imagine you meant to say it's a thousand kilowatts... similarly "eco mode" is likely 300 kilowats, not 300 watts. the darn thing is so light that 300 watts probably could get it moving, but...
So many incorrect statements in this video - "Gullwing doors......." I don't think so. "The most expensive EV......." Oh dear oh dear
Fun to watch, a bit short though.
The full lap footage, please
Sounds pretty cool with the gearbox whine. Think if I had the money I would go for the Rimac, at least you can drive it on the road too.
What a beast!!!!
The presenter will be very flattered by your comment!
Sounds sick for a EV.
Well… I'm sure racing aficionados are drooling over this episode. Elliot's heart must have been racing as fast as the EP9! I'll never drive it for sure, as I can't handle high Gs -in any car, even my own Tesla- without feeling faint and nauseous. I bet Tesla is imitating the steering on these rocket ships to make its whiz-bang models appear to have a racetrack heritage. Kind of an over-the-top gimmick, though, since lock-to-lock motion on racing yokes is ~400° -not the ~1200° that production cars need on everyday roads and highways.
Can't wait to see battery swap pit stops.
I feel like I'm watching a BBC or Amazon production, it's that good
It is very very cool that you got access to do that!! I *am* gonna call BS on the claim that this car in 400hp mode is only one second slower per lap that this car in 1360hp mode. That's literally an extra LaFerrari more power.
Think he said 'couple of seconds' slower... and that could be right, given that really big power is only required to top speed on really long straights... at lower speeds, limiting factor on acceleration is grip, not power, so once you have enough power to exceed grip, extra power doesn't make so much difference.
@@logicalChimp 6:09 "1 or 2 seconds" Congrats you got me to waste my time finding that. He'd still be wrong even if he said 8 seconds unless that's a go cart track and it doesn't look like one.
Could be correct in the sense that with him driving it might be only that difference because there is no way he would be able to use the extra performance. For example most average drivers would be quicker in a fast road car than they would be in a Formula 1 car ... because they are unlikely to even complete a lap without spinning off in the F1 car!
@@MrAdopado I concur with your point and I love when people play devil's advocate, but the presenter claimed that Nio said it was only a second a lap slower.
It was a BS statement, as I said, and I stand by my assertion that it's BS.
So, this BEV makes only 1MW or about 1350 horsepower. Not even close to Rimac Nevera which outputs 1910 horsepower and it is street legal too...
This car was designed 6 years ago.
5:59 "At peak power output this puts out one megawatt of power, that's one thousand watts" Errr no it isn't lol
LOL, excuse his excitement :D
Doesn't really matter how many watts are in a megawatt, the vast majority of us out here in the real world measure a car's performance in BHP and torque. He may have well have used tulips as a unit of measurement for all the use it was...
Love Elliot's videos, can take or leave the other presenter's offerings, mostly leave.
Track/race cars for the most part have spectators and they will all miss the noise as it's something they can feel, they wont notice much different in the speed (from a distance).
I am sure this video will be popular. But, I was honestly more intrigued by the Wuling.
*I USED TO LOVE THE SOUND OF A V8* now I just think they sound like obsolescence. They sound like the chirping of a dial-up modem in a fibre optic world. Laughable.
I’m stealing this analogy 😁
@@marcsroberts - Feel free :-D I'm quite good at analogies as I'm an author, it's kinda fundamental.
Spot on! All that noise is wasted energy. I get the nostalgia, but that’s all it is, like enjoying the sound of a steam engine, and about as relevant to the modern world. Power =/= “brum brum”.
Not laughable, more like charming or nostalgic, just not associated with power
That's a really good analogy. You've exactly put into words my own reactions...
4:46 Four electric motors one in almost every corner (?) lol
Just wait till the end. Those mistakes clearly shows how intimidating this car is even from the pit.
The most expensive EV? Rimac and Lotus want a word!!🤣🤣🤣
5 years ago
I would have thought the most expensive EV ever made was the moon rover if you adjust for inflation.
If you want to include delivery costs then the moon rover definitely is the most expensive.
@@matthewbaynham6286 🤣🤣 well you ain't wrong but was it road legal?
@@bernardfender5147 No but neither is this one!
With matching go-faster shoes - fastest fashionista architect on Earth 🌍.....😜😁😋
😎👍
elliot keeps fully charged relevant
For every $1M+ supercar EV like this there needs to be 3 or 4 "regular" cars at regular prices for us regular folks. We're slowly getting there.
Correct.
I just purchased a new car for US$ 18K including taxes. Its an ICE car since the cheapest EV here is approx US$ 35K.
Also there is no charging infrastructure but that's another story.
@@udishomer5852 I bought a used 2016 Kia Soul EV+ last year for about $13000 in perfect condition, less than 18,000 miles on it and only one owner. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. Best car I have ever owned, new or used. Costs me less than $3 to "fill it up", has zero maintenance, is super smooth and quiet and just works. In the year that I've had it I've only needed to charge it outside of my house 5 or 6 times and never had a single problem finding a charger. This is in Central Florida, so may not be the same everywhere.
Nissan has just released the new 2022 Nissan Leaf at $27,400 before incentives which could put it under $20,000 with the federal tax break, and Chevy priced the 2022 Chevy Bolt at $31000 with 259 miles of range before any incentives. What needs to happen is that the price needs to get at least under $25,000 _without_ any incentives for a car with at least 200 miles of range (the Leaf mentioned above is around 120 miles). We're finally heading in that direction but it's going to take a year or two more before it really happens across the board, though Nissan has come the closest so far.
Appreciate the tech and speed but the sound is dire
So how fast is the car/ Top Speed/0-60 ?
Did I miss it or is this a secret for now?
Also, the speedometer at some point seemed to show 180... ( 7:50 )
Was that km/h (ergo not that fast) or mph... yeah, bit on the fast side :-)
Probably it's 180mph.
I’m sure it’s km/h. Electric motors are just not so powerful at high speed, and it’s eco mode 😁.
@elliot 'Fullycharged. If you live in China can you book this as a private citizen? or is it invite only?
This car was driven around the Nurburgring in 2017. So glad that FullyCharged has caught up with it. 🙂 Erm, no... Wait a minute; the car has just lapped us. Again.
Lucky Elliot!
It’s funny i mean how this Chinese car can destroy any dreams Europe supercars ferrari Lamborghini Porsche Bugatti and mclaren and can make them a joke of money 😂😂😂 congratulations China 🇨🇳
8:42 I spot Wheelsboy Ethan in the background!
Give me a shot to drive it.
Weird bubble at 1:18 🤔
Wow what a machine Open top for UK road with half power button 👏 🤣🌏💚
It puts out a peak 1341 horsepower.
Eliot needs to hold up on the superlatives. The NIO EP9 is a long, long way from being the "most expensive" EV, and it's not the fastest, either. See the Rimac Nevera for an example of something that is both more expensive, faster and quicker. And is street legal. Also, those are NOT "gull wing" doors, they are butterfly doors.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great car. Just please do a little research.
"Where are you come from?" : "England...Shanghai...Zoooooooom
1:18 paint bubbling above the wheel arch?
Hapens when in warp 9
Wow just wow
On another thought ICE cars used to stand for In Car Entertainment like sound off version with 20 sub woofers
Fastest EV in the world? Don't believe that! But nevertheless, the video is brilliant.
Does it charge?
Is that really a paint blister at 1:18?
Perhaps I missed it, but what are the 0-60 and quarter-mile specs?
It's not a drag racer.
@@timmurphy5541 Nor is the Tesla Plaid but heck, 0-60 in 2 seconds and 150mph quarter mile is impressive… for a 4 door saloon. :)
As RR like to say ADEQUATE
Sorry Elliott those are scissor doors not gull wing. Gull wing are top hung like the Mercedes 300SL and Tesla model X
Great video but the EP9 is not the fastest EV as I believe the Rimac Nevera is both quicker and more powerful so hopefully there will be an episode featuring Rimac soon
It's got a Yoke!
Gravity wasn't trying to throw you around. It is called inertia and the car.
Elliott should take a Model S Plaid out on the road. Will get a high %age of the EP9 performance for a fraction of the cost.
Model S Plaid has faster 0-100 km/h and 0-200 km/h times than EP9. It just has lower top speed.
Elliot, please don't be scared that much - the key is right there, where you emphasized on the carbon monocoque.
The construction isn't important. It's what you do with your right foot. Don't go out of your comfort zone...
@@koitorob there is no way one can get to be confident of his right foot actions in just two laps, no matter what the car is.
Was there a FEE to DRIVE the car
is it me or is the car changing colour all the time from blue to lite teal? or is it fancy editing?
Strange...unless I am missing something, the Tesla family sedan, a Model S Plaid, does 0-60 (0-~100km/h) in less than 2 seconds while the EP9 lumbers along at 2.7 seconds (per NIO) and the EP9 costs about 7 times more than Model S Plaid. Would have been nice if Elliott had provided more technical details, compared the EP9 to other vehicles, and explained the classes of high-end ev's which have recently emerged.
That looks like a real seat of your pants experience. Wow.
1000 watts peak power? My E-bike will smash it lol.
He said MEGA watt. MEGA means million.
@@timmurphy5541 He said one megawatt is one thousand watts. And he said "eco" mode is 300 watts. Give it another listen.
@@timmurphy5541 Thanks for playing 🤣🤣🤣
@@royevans4581 great - you must feel very clever :-)
@@timmurphy5541 Just having a wind up mate, lol. If I was clever, the world would be doomed...............😁
Woohoo!
RIP MBA😎
E9 Design hasn’t been around as long as the Fisher/karma🤪
5:58 million watts
Well that was missing everything! And the information we did get was wrong. One megawatt is? Four electric motors...almost one on every corner 😂 Dear o dear. Let's not forget the gullwing doors that aren't gullwing.
Remember - nobody loves a smug, patronising smart ass.........!
@@andymccabe6712 But we want accurate data not just guesswork
1:17 bubble on rear quarter panel above wheel arch crease ?
Edit: So it's like a rich person's dodgem car session?
5:12 200 calculations per second! Wow, that's nearly up to 1940s standards.
Calculation loops, obviously... each with multiple gigaflops, I'm sure.
I believe those are scissor doors, not gullwing doors.
Butterfly doors I think they're called. Gull wing only hinge at the roofline. Think Delorian.
@Author B.L. Alley He has a channel, you can go watch him.
6:33 Can I have her number? But seriously, the fact that you choose that moment and to have it in slo-mo is a brilliant transition, I love it! Just like in a good metal song :D
Creepy
You said 1 Megawatt was a thousand watts... I think you mean a thousand KiloWatts or 1 Million watts, slight difference :)
Listen to this….🤫
race against nevera!
So the fastest and most expensive EV ever built except for the far more expensive and powerful Rimmac (circa 700bhp more) so it’s a no as poster car for me
Why only a few seconds filming from the drive it self ?
1000 W would be lame!
1MW is 1000 kW is 1000000 W.
That's definitely NOT lame.
1000kW is about 1360 Horsepower.
Impressive.
300 kW is only 400 Horsepower. Not so impressive.
It must really be something to get in or out of this since few to no videos show either. They just teleport into and out of the car...
would have been nice to get a lap with just the car noise... also scooby would like a word about some missing cars ...
1 Megawatt is 1.000 Kilowatt
