The ES8 is powered by a 70 kWh or 84kWh lithium-ion battery pack (Upgraded to 100kWh in 2019), that is also swappable. [6]

The ES8 is a 6 or 7-seater full-size production car, with a wheelbase of 2,997 mm (118 in) and a body length of 5,022 mm (198 in). The body and chassis are completely aluminum, and the drivetrain is all-wheel drive as standard, and also features active air suspension.

In March 2020, a revised ES8 was released. It uses a combination of 160kW PM and 240kW IM motors and either a 75 or 100 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack. It can achieve 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and a NEDC extended range of up to 580 km (360 miles).[9] From 2020, the digital cockpit is upgraded to a 9.8-inch display with an 11.3-inch HD multi-touch center display. The NOMI Mate 2.0 features an industry-first circular AMOLED display, with much larger active display area. Additionally, ES8 comes with a smart charging port cover and NFC key card.
