I’m guiding a group of international visitors through a NIO House today.
We took a closer look at their battery swap setup: around 3 minutes to swap a full battery while you stay in the car.
What caught most of them off guard is the scale — over 4,000 swap stations across China, including along the G318 route all the way to Tingri near Everest.
We also talked about BaaS, the battery rental model that brings down the upfront cost of EV ownership.
Curious what they thought? Watch till the end to catch their reactions.
