NIO's first 900V EV drive system rolls out with 150 mile fast charge in 5 min(U) — Electrek
NIO’s 900V drive system rolled off the production line Wednesday, according to the Chinese EV maker. NIO’s (NIO) “Thunder” 900V electric drive system (EDS) can add over 150 miles (255 km) with a five-minute fast charge.
Seriously? The Lucid had a 900v+ system WAY before Nio did, yet these outlets feel the need to call Nio's the first mass produced 900v system. Lucid is even snubbed in the list of potential competitors to this car in the luxury EV space... ugh. I really do want to find out what the hidden agenda is and the source behind it (other than Tesla stock), because this is getting quite ridiculous. In addition, even the charge time headline in the title is misleading.. its 5 minutes for 158 CLTC miles! I mean okay, but what is the 20-80 time? Even the Lucid can "fast charge for 5 minutes," using this article's logic.
