On September 15, NIO released its electric vehicle charging service in Beijing, which is divided into two forms: “Valet Charging” and “NIO Power Swap Station”.
Firstly, users can order through the NIO App and a charging attendant will arrive to charge the car on-site. Secondly, NIO has built its own fast-charging station with 60 kW fast-charging capabilities.
Meanwhile, for the first users of the Beijing NIO U who purchased their car before the end of 2020, NIO has launched the following preferential benefits:
-
For users without a charging station, 48 valet charging services will be provided for the first year, supporting up to 20,000 km of travel distance;
-
For users with a charging station, 6 valet charging services will be provided for the first year, satisfying the users’ emergency charging needs;
-
Beijing NIO U owners can enjoy 2 years of free instant charging when charged at a NIO Power Swap Station.
As of now, in addition to the Wangsiying charging station in Beijing, other NIO Power Swap Stations are still in the planning and construction stages. In the future, NIO Power Swap Stations will be gradually expanded to major cities throughout the country.
