Nowadays, electric cars can do much more than just drive around quietly and accelerate quickly. Several EVs can drive independently, make a pirouette and float for a while. Nio is trying to bring some tricks to the road with the SkyRide suspension. One trick seems to be more useful than the other.
For example, in a video the brand shows how the Nio ET9 can shake violently. To indicate how intense that is, a blanket of snow has been placed on the car. The wobble makes it seem as if two or more people are having a 'good conversation' in the Chinese EV. Enter for yourself how useful this function is. We would at least let the cans of drinks rest for a while.
How does the suspension of the Nio ET9 work?
In addition, the suspension ensures stability. The dampers on the SkyRide suspension use a hydraulic pump per corner. Thanks to advanced software, the pump can process six trillion (yes, 1,000 billion) commands per second. In addition, the dampers ensure that the wheels can move up and down by 50 millimeters. This way the carriage can remain level at small thresholds.
To demonstrate this, Nio is building a champagne tower on the hood of the ET9. After filling the glasses, the Nio drives over a course of speed bumps. Despite the height differences, the carriage remains neatly flat, so the glasses remain neatly on the car. Perfect for those annoying speed bumps at the McDonald's parking lot.
