About NIO Power Cloud
On NIO Power Day, NIO stated that NIO Power Cloud includes four major components:
- Power Prime
Power Prime is NIO’s self-developed IoT platform that connects cars, chargers, stations, and people. It integrates various charging piles and battery swap stations owned by NIO as well as more than 80% of the charging resources on the market.
- Shield
Shield is a battery management platform that provides intelligent battery operation management, including intelligent diagnosis of faults and hazards, battery health status evaluation, operation analysis, and business decisions. It can achieve accurate evaluation of battery status, real-time online health diagnosis of the battery, and intelligent scheduling of the battery circulation system.
- PowerGo
PowerGo is a one-stop charging and swapping operation platform designed for long-distance travel of electric vehicles. It integrates data from all charging piles on the network, real-time traffic information, vehicle endurance, user charging strategies, etc., and can perform personalized route planning and recommend charging resources along the way. PowerGo, combined with NIO Power’s supplemental power methods, considers battery swap stations, mobile charging cars, and one-click charging to facilitate route planning in areas with few or no charging piles.
- Athena## Athena is the intelligent algorithm platform for NIO Power, which helps with the planning of electric vehicle charging and swapping networks and resource deployment. By analyzing input data, Athena can:
- ① Predict users’ charging behavior based on spatiotemporal distribution data of the demand for charging.
- ② Plan more accurate and reasonable services based on these predictions, respond to user service needs more quickly, and improve operational efficiency systemically.
- ③ Continuously improve resource deployment and service scheduling strategies by analyzing historical orders, providing users with better charging services.
Overseas Layout of NIO Power Charging and Swapping Networks
On July 7th, NIO’s second-generation swapping stations, supercharging stations, and home chargers were awarded the TÜV Rheinland EU certificate and TÜV MARK certification, allowing them to be sold and operated in all EU member states. This year, NIO’s first batch of four second-generation swapping stations will operate in Norway.
On the Energy Day, NIO announced its NIO Power 2025 swapping station layout plan:
- The target number of swapping stations to be built in 2021 has been raised from 500 to over 700.
- From 2022 to 2025, an additional 600 swapping stations will be added annually in the Chinese market.
- By the end of 2025, the total number of NIO’s swapping stations globally will exceed 4,000, of which about 1,000 will be located in markets outside of China.
At the same time, NIO announced that it will fully open its NIO Power Charging and Swapping System and BaaS services to the industry. Combined with Li Bin’s previous statement at the media meeting of the first second-generation station in Beijing that “NIO’s battery pack sizes can now fit in cars roughly the same size as Model 3,” NIO’s charging and swapping system may have more flexible development possibilities.
