Nio's (NYSE: NIO) vehicles support charging just like any other electric vehicle (EV), in addition to having access to a fully charged battery via battery swap. Now the Chinese EV maker has entered into a new partnership in Europe to make the charging experience better.
Nio has partnered with Norwegian smart energy provider Tibber to give European owners access to some of the benefits the latter offers, according to an article published yesterday in the European version of the Nio App.
Nio customers in Norway, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands who have a dynamic power contract with Tibber can easily connect their Nio vehicles to Tibber's app, the article said.
Tibber offers a range of services, including the Tibber App, that let customers track their energy use, find real-time energy prices and control the charging of their electric vehicles -- at best, when electricity prices are at their lowest, according to the article.
Smart charging with Tibber can be used with any wallbox, such as Nio's Power Home 3.0, the article said.

"Once you set up the 'Smart Charging' feature within the Tibber App, your Nio will be charged fully automatically exactly in the hours when the electricity is cheapest," the article reads.
Tibber was founded in 2016 and focuses on using technology to help customers save energy and money.
The partnership with Tibber is the latest Nio partnership in Europe related to EV energy replenishment.
Last December 8, EnBW, Germany's largest fast-charging network operator, announced that it had entered into a partnership with Nio in which the EV maker would build up to 20 battery swap stations at its charging parks.
Nio entered Norway in 2021 and last October expanded its presence in Europe to include Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.
