Nio (NYSE: NIO, HKG: 9866, SGX: Nio) added dozens of battery swap stations in May, even though a lockdown in Shanghai, where it has its global headquarters, brought much of its business activity to a standstill.

The company added 34 battery swap stations in May, bringing the total to 949, with 245 of them located along highways, according to information it shared on its mobile app.

In May, the company added 37 supercharging stations, bringing the total to 820, offering 4,514 charging piles. It also added 20 destination charging stations, bringing the total to 712 and providing 4,098 charging piles.

It added 10,000 third-party charging piles to its charging map in May, bringing the total number of third-party charging piles it has access to more than 500,000.

Nio also added one Nio House, three Nio Spaces, one service center, one authorized service center and two delivery centers in May.

In a separate post on its app earlier today, the company said that its operations in Shanghai are gradually starting to return to normal as the Covid lockdown in the city is lifted from today.

Fourteen of Nio's 27 offline open spaces in Shanghai are already back in business, with eight more set to reopen tomorrow and the remaining five to gradually resume operations starting June 3.

Its vehicle deliveries in Shanghai will resume from June 2, and the vehicles have been shipped from the JAC-Nio factory in Hefei, central China's Anhui province, starting today.
