Shaking off the cold
One of the ET9’s most talked-about features is its ability to shake off snow. This is thanks to an intelligent chassis known as Skyride, which allows the vehicle to jiggle. This system enables the vehicle to perform high-frequency vibrations, similar to how a dog shakes off water.

When activated, the ET9 can rock back and forth to effectively shed snow from its surfaces, including the windshield, roof and windows. This innovative approach ensures that the vehicle can maintain visibility and mobility even in snowy conditions, adding to the luxury and convenience of the EV experience.
