The upgrade will be available on May 31 at 10:00 am Beijing Time and will cost owners RMB 1,980 ($282). Nio will allow owners to pay up to RMB 1,000 with their Nio App credits.

Owners of the 2022 ET7 can reserve the upgrade by paying RMB 1,000 as a deposit on the Nio App after 10 am on May 31.

Nio will initially offer only 500 upgrade slots, and the time required to complete the upgrade is one day.

The installation will start in early June and will not affect any other rights of users.

The ET7, Nio's flagship sedan, was originally launched at the Nio Day 2020 event on January 9, 2021, with deliveries beginning on March 28, 2022.

On the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, Nio launched the 2023 ET7, bringing more than 15 upgrades, including improved seats and a 40w wireless charging panel for cell phones. The model's starting price remains unchanged at RMB 458,000.

With a more comfortable ride, more refined interior and a smarter experience, the improved ET7 continues to lead the direction of change for high-end smart electric mid to large-size sedans, William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Nio, said at the time.
