NIO's First Battery Swap Station Manufactured In Europe, Heads To Germany
The company already deployed 1,100 battery swap stations in China.
NIO's preparations for geographical expansion are progressing in Europe, where soon the first battery swap stations will be deployed in several new countries.
The NIO Power Europe Plant in Hungary already started operations and recently the first locally produced battery swap station rolled off the production line.
The modular station has been sent for installation in Germany (one of the first new markets), but before the end of this yea,r we will see battery swap stations also in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark. Norway already has a few of them (supplied from China).
The infrastructure rollout is related to the upcoming launch of the NIO ET7, which is the company's flagship premium sedan.
Here is a short demonstration of NIO's second-generation Power Swap Station 2.0, introduced in April 2021, in Hungary:
