The Power Up Plan, an infrastructure initiative announced by Nio last year, has seen the opening of another line under the program.

The company announced today that it has built a network capable of supporting easy recharge for vehicle owners on a tourist route in northern Zhejiang province in eastern China, the latest addition to the Power Up Plan.

The route, which connects Anji and Deqing counties, is about 226 kilometers long and is one of the preferred destinations for tourists who like to travel in the mountains.

Among them, Anji is also known as the home of bamboo in China and is famous for its rich bamboo forest scenery.

Nio has installed two battery swap stations, one supercharging station and seven destination charging stations along the route.

During the Beijing Auto Show in late September 2020, Nio officially announced the Power Up Plan, which aims to deploy 20-kW destination DC charging stations in popular travel, leisure, and business destinations to form a nationwide destination charging network.

Under the plan, Nio's ultimate goal is to deploy more than 30,000 destination DC charging piles in China.

To achieve this goal, Nio will provide a total of RMB 100 million in construction and operation subsidies to all partners who are willing to share resources and waive service fees for Nio customers, averaging RMB 1,000 per charging post per year for three years.

In late December 2020, Nio announced the opening of a charging line from Chengdu to Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, the first charging line opened under the Power Up Plan.

So far this year, Nio has opened at least nine charging lines under the program.
