Last month, NIO newly launched 8 battery swap stations, 15 supercharging stations, 36 destination charging stations, and got access to 31,823 third-party charging piles in the world. Of them, one battery swap station and one supercharging stations were built in the overseas markets.

NIO announced on Feb. 21 the revised target set for its battery swapping network, under which the company aims to newly construct 1,000 battery swap stations this year, resulting in a cumulative volume of over 2,300 stations by the end of 2023.

Of the power swap stations to be deployed this year, around 400 will be located at expressway rest stops and the entries to expressways, and the other 600 will be mainly built in urban areas of the third-/fourth-tier cities and counties where NIO’s power swap stations have not tapped, but a certain user base has already established, said William Bin Li, founder, chairman, and CEO of NIO.

The latest target revision came after NIO stated last year that it planned to newly build 400 battery swap stations and 7,000 charging piles in 2023, indicating the company intensified expansion of its power network.
