Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On January 27, NIO announced the launch of its 3,100th battery swapping station in China, which is located in Sichuan province.
Having completed the 3,000th station on January 3, NIO increased its battery swapping network by another 100 stations within a month.
At the Power Up 2024 event in August 2024, William Bin Li, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NIO Inc., announced the planning on "Power Up Counties", which consists of the county-level electric vehicle (EV) charging network and the county-level battery swapping network in China.
With the plan, NIO is to expand its charging network, installing chargers in all counties in China. Moreover, NIO will carry out the plan to expand the battery swapping network in three phases: By June 30, 2025, NIO Power Swap Station (PSS) will be built in over 1,200 counties of 14 provincial-level administrative divisions; by December 31, 2025, the PSS network will be available in counties of another 13 provincial-level administrative divisions. By then, NIO PSS will have covered over 2,300 counties of 27 provincial-level administrative divisions. Starting 2026, NIO will expand coverage in the remaining provincial-level administrative divisions. NIO's charging and battery swapping networks are expected to be enhanced and expanded with the release of "Power Up Counties", offering convenient, efficient, and reassuring experiences for users of NIO, ONVO, and other new energy vehicle brands.
As of January 27, 2025, NIO has deployed a total of 3,101 battery swapping stations, 4,343 charging stations, and 25,424 charging piles nationwide. Notably, 962 of the battery swapping stations are located along highways.
In addition to building its own energy replenishment network, NIO has continued to form partnerships with other automakers to enhance charging and battery swapping connectivity.
On January 17, NIO Power formed a charging network collaboration with BAIC Group's premium electric vehicle brand ARCFOX. As per the agreement, NIO's charging network would be opened to ARCFOX owners, offering them an extensive, efficient, and user-friendly charging service across the country.
