Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video:Two electric cars, a NIO ET7 Long and a Tesla Model Y Performance, are compared in a race from Stockholm to Gothenburg, a journey of 482 km. The video's focus is on comparing supercharging versus battery swapping.
Key Findings:
- NIO is a pioneer for battery swapping, preferring it before quick charging. Tesla prefers quick charging with its own supercharger network.
- The Tesla is equipped with V3 superchargers, for fast charging. The NIO uses swap station 2 with 4-8 minutes swap time.
- With proper planning, Model Y performance needs only a couple minutes of charging.
Trip Details:
- The two cars are driven on the same route, adhering to speed limits.
- The NIO will have a battery swap at the first swap station in Mantorp.
- Both drivers track time and pause if there are uncontrollable external issues.
- The test compares the charging solutions; not range or consumption.
- It took Tesla twelve minutes and twenty-five seconds for charging.
- It took almost eight minutes to perform battery swapping with NIO’s station.
- To reach Gothenburg, the Tesla's charge ended up at around 5%, with almost 150 km remaining for NIO.
- During the test, Nomi, the NIO assistant, was engaging and caring. However, Numi’s assistant constantly prompted the reviewer to keep hands on the wheel.
- In this comparison between supercharging and battery swapping, the test indicated a four minutes and twenty seconds speed gain towards Nio.
