Chinese automaker Nio on Wednesday announced completion of its 1,000th battery swapping station. The announcement was part of Nio’s second annual Power Day presentation, where the automaker also announced an ambitious charging expansion plan.
The latest station is also the first to be powered entirely by renewable energy, including solar and hydro power, Nio said in a press release. The automaker said it only took 15 months to go from 200 operational stations to 1,000 and claimed it has opened new stations in China at the rate of two per day.
Nio also claims to have completed over 10 million battery swaps, with a daily average of over 30,000 swaps per day. On average, a Nio EV completes a battery swap at one of the stations every 2.8 seconds, the automaker claims.
