Battery Replacement it’s important for NIO strategy. The automaker, as you know, intends to implement a network of battery replacement stations. also in Europe, in the countries where he started selling his cars. This is not an easy job, both technically and economically. It is to support its plan to build battery swap stations in the Old Continent that the Chinese automaker has opened a plant in Hungary to build these infrastructure facilities.

Work continues to install and activate its “power exchange stations” in Europe. The latter was opened in Utrecht, Holland, on the A2 motorway, which connects the city with Amsterdam. Near the station, two NIO high-speed columns were also placed, open, however, to all electric vehicles. The automaker specifically installed Energy Replacement Station 2.0 which holds 13 batteries and is capable of performing up to 312 battery changes per day. Replacing the batteries takes approximately 5 minutes.

It is obvious that the Chinese manufacturer continues to improve its battery replacement stations. During the last day of NIO, the company introduced a new generation of its Power Swap Station, which will allow up to 408 battery changes per day.

As of February 15, 2023, there are 11 battery replacement stations in operation in Europe (6 more under construction). Still very low compared to China. However, installations are ongoing and this number is expected to grow rapidly soon. By the end of 2023 the goal is to get 120 active stations in the countries of the Old Continent.
