As of December 15, 's battery swap stations in China reached 719, of which 164 are located along highways.

NIO today announced that its battery swap station network covers the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Highway, adding to the network that covers the G1 Beijing-Harbin Highway, G2 Beijing-Shanghai Highway, and G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Highway.

The G50 highway is 1,786 km long, passing through five provinces and cities, namely Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei and Chongqing, and is one of the most important routes for Shanghai residents to reach neighboring cities.

NIO has set up 17 battery swap stations along the way, one every 128 kilometers on average. Nine of them are located within the service area and eight are located near the highway entrance.

In addition to complete coverage of the G50 highway, NIO today also made its network of battery swap stations cover the Shaanxi section of the G5 Beijing-Kunming Highway.

These are part of NIO's efforts to expand its energy replenishment facilities along highways.

At the end of September, NIO announced that it would complete its battery swap network covering eight major highways and four densely populated metropolitan areas by the 2022 Chinese New Year holiday, which falls on January 31.

The holiday is typically a time for people working in major cities to return home to their loved ones and will see one of the world's largest migrations, although it has diminished in size in recent years due to Covid-19 concerns.

William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO, said on September 21 that the number of the company's battery swap stations covering highways will increase to 169 by the Chinese New Year holiday.

NIO said today that as of today, it has 164 swap stations located along highways, including those in service areas and near highway intersections.

Data monitored by CnEVPost shows that as of December 15, NIO's battery swap stations in China reached 719, an increase of 9 from yesterday.

NIO also added 2 supercharging stations today, bringing the total to 540, offering 3,040 charging piles. It also added one more destination charging station, bringing the total to 604, providing 3,348 charging piles.

The infrastructure shortage will be even more pronounced in 2022 when China will have 10 million NEV owners who will have to rely on public charging systems to make up for their energy, according to top Chinese investment bank CICC in a research report released yesterday.
