A standout feature of the Jia Dian App is its community section, where users can share charging experiences and reviews. The platform has amassed over 2.61 million charging reviews and posts, aiding EV users in finding reliable charging resources.
Looking ahead, Nio plans to introduce a membership feature to the Jia Dian App at the end of May, allowing users to access charging discounts. This move is expected to further enhance the app’s appeal among EV owners.
