The Yiou Auto portal claims: in 2026, the NIO startup will begin to supply the batteries not only of himself, but also with the partner from the Waloking. It is no coincidence that the interaction: McLaren and NIO have a common investor-the state holding of Cyvn from Abu Dhabi. The British manufacturer of supercars belongs to the Arabic fund by 100%, and a young Chinese brand by 20%. Batteries will appear on promising hybrids.
According to unofficial data, the NIO will supply McLaren batteries in small batches, and the Chinese will share 4680 cylindrical cells. However, there is no need to talk about the unification of supercars and mass NIO models: for super -hybrids they will develop exclusive batteries with special characteristics.
From 100 million rubles: the most expensive cars in Russian McLaren Artura salons: Smart hybrid supercar, which reads the road why cars are called in honor of people?
Now McLaren Artura uses a battery with a capacity of 7.4 kilowatt hours and it is enough for about 30 kilometers without activation of the internal combustion engine. Chinese cells will be about 10 kilowatt hours, but neither the chemical composition nor the main characteristics are disclosed. Which McLaren model is the first to “grow up” with NIO, too, is not yet specified. However, a month ago, the CEO of Ferrari hinted that his company also receives batteries from the Middle Kingdom.
Cooperation between McLaren and NIO is possible not only in the field of batteries. Together with partners from the Middle Kingdom, the first crossover of the British brand can be released. The technology will be shared by the FORSEven startup, which also belongs to the Arabic fund Cyvn Holdings.
