NIO Plans to Grow Global Battery Swap Network to Over 4,600 Stations by Year End

Chinese electric vehicle company NIO plans to add more than 1,000 battery swap stations in 2026 to grow its global network to over 4,600. Next-generation stations will support vehicles from other brands for the first time.

China's electric vehicle company NIO announced plans to add over one thousand battery swap stations in 2026. Currently, NIO operates nearly four thousand battery swap stations in China and has stations in European countries including Norway and Germany. The company's CEO Li Bin stated that battery swapping technology is crucial for improving user experience. The expansion plan aims to support the company's growth in both domestic and international markets. NIO continues to invest heavily in battery swap infrastructure. The company expects to reach a significant milestone in the number of available swap stations by year-end.
