Today is the second anniversary of NIO Power’s launch, and the official has revealed some information:
- NIO Power has charged over 250 million degrees for NIO and other brand vehicles (charging approximately 3.57 million cars if calculated per car as 70 degrees).
- “One-click charging” has completed nearly 400,000 charging services.
- In 2020, NIO will construct over 50 new battery swapping stations (as of May 31, NIO has deployed 132 swapping stations in 58 cities nationwide).
- As of May 25, the swapping station has completed 500,000 swaps.
- NIO Power plans to achieve a Battery as a Service (BaaS) model for smart electric vehicle commercialization. Officially launched in the second half of this year, the BaaS model is said to reduce the initial purchase threshold, allowing users to enjoy continuously upgraded batteries and better electric vehicle charging experiences.
Currently, BaaS model is known for separating the car and the battery and reducing users’ initial purchase costs through a rental approach, further promoting sales growth. Specific product and service solutions are expected to be announced by NIO in the second half of the year.
