Jiyue will gradually connect to Nio Power's 3,740 charging stations and 21,739 charging piles in 312 cities in China.

Separately, Nio said in a statement that its charging piles are open to all EV users, with 80 percent of its power serving users of other brands.

Jiyue is the latest after Geely to announce a partnership with Nio on charging network partnership.

Nio Power and Geely Automobile Holdings have entered into a partnership on charging network interconnection, Nio announced on March 27.

Vehicles from Geely brands including the Geely Galaxy and Geometry series, as well as other brands under the Geely Holding umbrella including Lynk & Co, Zeekr, Polestar, and Smart, will be able to use Nio's charging piles in their apps' charging maps in the future.

Owners of vehicles from these brands will be able to view the location, price, real-time status, station guidelines and other information about Nio's charging piles in real time in their apps, and can complete charging, order payment and other operations.

Geely-built charging piles will also be connected to Nio's system next, according to the latter's statement last month.
