This follows the release of its fourth generation battery swapping station and its new ultrafast charging points. In 2024, NIO will add 1,000 new battery swap stations and 20,000 charging points to its network.
The Fourth Generation Swapping Station
Throughout 2024, NIO will build 1,000 additional swapping stations, adding to the 3,300 already operational. The fourth generation swapping stations will be launched from April 2024.
