EV battery swaps: The world's largest swap network for quick recharge


Innovative electric car maker NIO and leading battery manufacturer CATL have formed a partnership aimed at building the world's largest battery swapping network, while also promoting unified standards and technologies.

Drivers of compatible NIO electric cars simply roll onto the platform, and an automated system removes the spent battery pack from below. NIO has installed more than 3,000 Power Swap Stations in China so far, and has expanded beyond its home turf to European regions like Germany, France, Italy the Netherlands and Scandinavia, as well as setting up shop in the UAE. NIO has maintained an open approach in fields such as charging and swapping network and battery asset management, aiming to bring the ‘Chargeable, Swappable, Upgradeable’ solution to a broader user base and accelerate the transition of the automotive industry towards green and low-carbon development."
