Summary

The NIO EL8 Standard Range is a 7-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €94,900 in Germany and €90,900 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds, quicker than 83% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 224 miles (360 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 34% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 170th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.0 mi/kWh (204 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 73.5 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 241 miles (388 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).

Second-hand in Germany, a 2024 example is estimated at €45,100–€50,800 and a 2025 one at €54,100–€61,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 215 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
