Nio announced on September 16 that it has completed a network of battery swap stations in highway service areas from Beijing to all major neighboring cities with the commissioning of three new battery swap stations in highway service areas.
The network consists of 12 highway battery swap stations, centered in Beijing, covering the service areas in Hebei and Tianjin on seven highways: Beijing-Chengde, Beijing-Harbin, Beijing-Lhasa, Beijing-Chongli, Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau, and Beijing-Qinhuangdao.
This means that Nio owners in Beijing can conveniently change the battery when traveling to the surrounding cities. It will also be easier for owners in major cities around Beijing to refill their ranges on the way to Beijing.
Two of the three new battery swap stations are located in the opposite direction of the Beidaihe service area on the Beijing-Harbin Expressway, and both are equipped with four supercharging piles.
The other one is located at Tugou service area on Beijing-Chengde Expressway heading to Beijing, and is equipped with two supercharging piles.
