NextEV NIO EP9 hypercar!

The electric revolution is here to stay and to add to that statement the up-start EV company called NextEV based in the US has just made a massive jump forward. Their NIO EP9 hyper car is able to hang with the best of the hybrids and best of the fossil fuel powered hyper cars from Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Koenigsegg. This electric monster pumps out an impressive 1360hp which is almost on par with the Koenigsegg One:1. Power is one thing but the handling must be there to match the performance and on a track like the Green Hell any inadequacy will show. The EP9 really made its mark that electric hyper cars can be as good as hybrids and fossil fuelled hyper cars. The EP9 lapped the Nurburgring in 7m 05 seconds.

to crack the 8 minute mark around the Nurburgring is one thing but to get close to 7 minute mark is a real feat on it is own. The car looks very futuristic and yet it is functional. The lithium-ion battery pack is good for 260 miles on a single charge and is incredibly fast. Elon Musk was right with his Tesla and NextEV just cemented that concept.

this car will be the talk of the town when it is officially launched. The big boys like Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Mercedes will be looking closely at this specimen. It will be a tall order to beat this car. Hyper cars are a good statement to show what the company is capable of but it may not necessary make the company a lot of money. NextEv will need to plan for regular cars that the masses can buy. A sedan and a SUV will mostly likely emerge as these models will be mass sellers. Electric cars are still quite expensive in comparison with fossil fuel cars but with sufficient economies of scale for battery production the prices will start to drop making it more affordable for more people.
