The ET7's computing systems have also been upgraded, with it now consisting of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 SoC accompanied with four Nvidia Orin X chips, called ADAM. Nio claims a twofold increase in CPU performance, triple GPU performance, and eight times increase in NPU performance. The NOMI AI assistant has been updated to use GPT models that are run locally, without the need for an internet connection, increasing data privacy.{{Cite web |last=Jin |first=Qian |date=2024-02-22 |title=Nio ignores the price war: Facelifted 2024 models open pre-orders with unchanged price |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/02/22/nios-seven-models-open-pre-orders-for-the-2024-facelift-upgraded-to-snapdragon-8295-chip/ |access-date=2024-11-07 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}

The powertrain remains unchanged, with the option of 75, 100 or 150{{Nbsp}}kWh batteries, with the latter featuring a semi-solid state electrolyte and is only available in the battery as a service (BaaS) subscription model; power output remains at {{cvt|644|hp|kW PS|0|order=flip}}.

In every configuration, the ET7 has electric motors on each axle in a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. The front axle is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous AC motor making {{Convert|180|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} and {{Convert|350|Nm|lbft|abbr=unit}} of torque. The rear is powered by an induction AC motor which produces {{Convert|300|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} and {{Convert|500|Nm|lbft|abbr=unit}} of torque. The combined output is {{Convert|480|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} and {{Convert|850|Nm|lbft|abbr=unit}} of torque. The {{convert|0|to|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} acceleration time is 3.8 seconds, the top speed is {{convert|200.|km/h|mph}}, the braking distance from {{convert|100|to|0|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} is {{convert|33.5|m|ft|1|abbr=on}}, and the drag coefficient is 0.208.{{cite web |date=9 January 2021 |title=NIO Reveals Stunning ET7 Flagship Sedan |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XsiNYtK8Q |accessdate=2 October 2021 |work=Youtube}} The 75{{Nbsp}}kWh model's weight starts at {{Convert|2359|kg|lb}}, and all models have a 49.5:50.5 weight distribution and a gross vehicle weight rating of {{Convert|2900|kg|lb}}.

The Nio ET7 is sold with two purchasable battery options, a standard range pack and long range pack. Initially, the standard range pack was to be a 70{{Nbsp}}kWh NMC battery produced by CATL, with {{convert|500.|km|mi||||abbr=on}} of CLTC range. Later, it was replaced by a new 75{{Nbsp}}kWh LFP-NMC dual chemistry battery with peak range of {{convert|550.|km|mi||||abbr=on}} revealed before ET7 production began. It consists of an undisclosed ratio of serially connected LFP and NMC battery cells assembled in a cell-to-pack format and a special pack management system, and it allows for a blend of each chemistries advantages: the higher energy density, better cold weather charging, and accurate state-of-charge readings from NMC cells, and the lower costs, lower wear, and improved safety from LFP cells.

For the 2024 facelift, the standard range battery was once again changed, this time to a fully LFP cell-to-pack battery, which also features an increased peak DC fast charging rate of 170{{Nbsp}}kW compared to the previous pack's 140{{Nbsp}}kW rate.{{Cite web |title=NIO Launches Hybrid-Cell (NCM/LFP) Battery Pack (CTP Type) |url=https://insideevs.com/news/535096/nio-hybrid-cell-battery-ncmlfp/ |access-date=2024-11-08 |website=InsideEVs |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=NIO Switches Its Standard 75-kWh Battery From Hybrid-Cell LFP/NCM To All-LFP |url=https://insideevs.com/news/712821/nio-standard-75kwh-battery-lfp/ |access-date=2024-11-08 |website=InsideEVs |language=en}}

The long range battery is a 100{{Nbsp}}kWh NMC pack sourced from either CATL or CALB with a cell-to-pack design, allowing for up to {{convert|705|km|mi|0|abbr=}} of range.

In mid-2024, a 150{{Nbsp}}kWh semi-solid state NMC battery was introduced, allowing for an NEDC range of {{convert|1050.|km|mi|0|abbr=}}. It is the first ever mass produced automotive traction battery to use semi-solid state electrolyte technology, and is supplied by WeLion.{{Cite web |last=Zhang |first=Phate |date=2023-07-07 |title=Nio's user manuals now include 150-kWh battery as delivery nears |url=https://cnevpost.com/2023/07/07/nio-user-manuals-include-150-kwh-battery/ |access-date=2024-11-09 |website=CnEVPost |language=en-US}} The semi-solid state technology allows it to have a 50% higher capacity with only a {{Convert|20|kg|lb|adj=on}} weight increase over the {{Convert|555|kg|lb|abbr=unit}} 100{{Nbsp}}kWh pack, while maintaining the same size. It is initially available only as a short-term rental from a battery swap station, but it is planned to be available for purchase later. At its reveal in February 2024, Nio said that each pack costs the company as much as an entire ET5 at launch, which has a starting price of {{Currency|328000|rmb}}, or {{Currency|258000|rmb}} (approximately {{Currency|48000|usd}}, or {{Currency|38000|usd}}) with a battery subscription.{{Cite web |last=Zhang |first=Phate |date=2024-05-31 |title=Nio to start formal operations of 150-kWh ultra-long-range battery pack on Jun 1 |url=https://cnevpost.com/2024/05/31/nio-to-start-formal-operations-150-kwh-pack-jun-1/ |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=CnEVPost |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Zhang |first=Phate |date=2023-02-12 |title=Nio's 150-kWh battery pack costs as much as an ET5, president says |url=https://cnevpost.com/2023/02/12/nio-150-kwh-pack-costs-as-much-as-an-et5-says-qin-lihong/ |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=CnEVPost |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=December 14, 2023 |title=The Battery Series: Nio has a comprehensive plan for 2024 and onwards |url=https://www.globalfleet.com/en/manufacturers/global/analysis/battery-series-nio-has-comprehensive-plan-2024-and-onwards?t%5B0%5D=Battery%20Technology&curl=1 |access-date=November 8, 2024 |website=Global Fleet}}
