NIO's 2023 Upgrade: NOP+ BEV Transition & Nationwide High-Speed Charging Expansion Revealed

Today, NIO announced that NOP+ will gradually switch and upgrade to BEV architecture in 2023, continually reducing breakpoints and covering more road scenarios. Moreover, starting from the second half of 2023, PSP (Piloted Swappable Power on Highways) will gradually cover nationwide highway charging stations, connecting uninterrupted point-to-point assisted navigation throughout the entirety of highway journeys.

Li Bin also met us in Shanghai today to explain the changes in NOP+ and charging and swapping rights for NIO:
