NIO has built 9,244 battery swap and charging stations across China as of August 25, including 4,038 swap stations and 5,206 charging stations with 30,002 chargers, and has completed over 120 million cumulative battery swaps.
NIO's swap-and-charge network has reached a scale that reinforces its battery-swap model as a real, functioning service rather than a concept. A large installed base of swap stations strengthens the case for retaining subscribers on NIO's battery-as-a-service plans, which generate recurring revenue separate from vehicle sales.
