Nio announced on September 16 that it has completed a network of battery swap stations in highway service areas from Beijing to all major neighboring cities with the commissioning of three new battery swap stations in highway service areas.

The network consists of 12 highway battery swap stations, centered in Beijing, covering the service areas in Hebei and Tianjin on seven highways: Beijing-Chengde, Beijing-Harbin, Beijing-Lhasa, Beijing-Chongli, Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau, and Beijing-Qinhuangdao.

This means that Nio owners in Beijing can conveniently change the battery when traveling to the surrounding cities. It will also be easier for owners in major cities around Beijing to refill their ranges on the way to Beijing.

In addition to this, the company has put two new supercharging stations into operation at the Nio Service Center in Yizhuang, Beijing, and the Beijing Taihe Building, and added charging piles next to eight battery swap stations located in the Beijing area.
