Because the Nio Eve is a vision for fully autonomous driving, the interior comes with folding tables and reclining seats.
In November, Nio revealed that its supercar, Nio EP9, beat the previous electric vehicle record on the "Green Hell" track in Nürburg, Germany. The car completed the 13-mile course in 7 minutes and 5.12 seconds.

The startup said at the time that the supercar reached a top speed of 194 mph and accelerated to 100 kilometers-per-hour (62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds. Nio also claims the supercar has a range of 265 miles.
Nio has an autonomous vehicle testing permit in California and plans to release its mass market vehicle in 2020.
