In early 2026, NIO accelerated its layout in the core power battery sector by signing an agreement with Anting Town, Shanghai, to establish a new battery R&D base. Following the establishment of Anhui Battery Co. in 2022, this creates a "Shanghai R&D + Anhui Manufacturing" dual-platform structure. NIO holds 1,382 battery patents and has pioneered the integration of semi-solid-state batteries with swap stations. The company plans to scale solid-state battery technology after 2027 to strengthen independent control over core EV components.
