The wait time for Nio’s (NYSE: NIO) ES7 SUV (sport utility vehicle) has been shortened, with deliveries closer to its expected start in May.
Chinese customers who buy Nio’s ES7 now can expect delivery in 7-8 weeks, down from 8-9 weeks previously, according to changes in vehicle configurator information on the Nio App monitored by CnEVPost.
The ES7 is the third most expensive of the models Nio is currently delivering, with a starting price of RMB 438,000 ($60,590).
Customers who choose to purchase the car using the BaaS (battery as a service) battery rental service will see the starting price of the ES7 reduced to RMB 368,000, with monthly battery rental fees of RMB 728 and RMB 1,128, depending on capacity.
