Nio put three new battery swap stations into operation in China on Saturday, bringing the total number to 304.
The three new stations are located in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
The battery swap station in Shenzhen is the company's 304th and is also its 100th second-generation battery swap station, 86 days after the first second-generation product went into operation on April 15.
In addition to the three battery swap stations, Nio also put seven new supercharging stations into operation in China on Saturday, bringing its total number of supercharging stations to 208, offering 1,618 charging piles.

Nio built battery swap stations at an unprecedented rate in the second half of June, bringing the number to 300 by June 30.
Nio's pace of building battery swap stations slowed significantly this month until July 7, when its 301st battery swap station in China went into operation, the first of the month.
Speaking at the company's inaugural Nio Power Day event Friday, Nio co-founder and president Qin Lihong said it was due to national celebrations across China that construction activities were put on hold and that Nio would put more than 50 battery swap stations into operation in the next month.
Qin also announced Friday that Nio's previous goal of completing 500 battery swap stations this year has been raised to more than 700.
