NIO announced that it has launched China’s 1,200th NIO Power Swap Station at the Suzhou New District Jinke Wangfu Hotel. The company itself targets to have 1,300+ Power Swap stations by the end of 2022 and 4,000+ by 2025.
In the past year, NIO has opened 600 new power swap stations. Across the battery swap stations, NIO has completed nearly 14 million battery replacements, over 30,000 each day. This means that every 2.8 seconds, a NIO car leaves the Power Swap station.
A total of 324 Power Swap stations have been deployed along expressways nationwide. The power swap network covering five vertical expressways, three horizontal ones, and five metropolitan areas has been completed. Meanwhile NIO continues to deepen the deployment of its current expressway Power Swap network connecting five north-south expressways, three east-west expressways, and four megalopolises in China. By 2025, NIO’s expressway Power Swap network will connect nine north-south expressways, nine east-west expressways, and 19 megalopolises in China. Users can travel freely on the expressways and set out whenever they want.
Previously, NIO owners can upgrade their EV battery capacity at battery swap station any time. More than 23,000 users have upgraded the battery capacity, enabling more users to expand their travel range.
In China, NIO now has over 1,200 Power Swap stations, 1,101 Power Charger stations with 5,747 Power Chargers, 948 Destination Charger stations with 6,068 Destination Chargers, and 590,000+ third-party chargers that have been integrated into the system. NIO provides permanent and flexible battery upgrades, offering users a power service system that supports charging, swapping, and upgrading.
