Chinese EV manufacturer Nio has achieved 136,748 battery swaps in its home
country over the Chinese New Year between January 22 and February 3 – the Nio
Group offered owners of its new Onvo EV unlimited access to its 3106 battery
swap stations on China’s highway system. On February 3 alone it swapped 8,000
batteries over a 24-hour period, said to take less than 3 minutes a car and the
company last week performed its 65th million battery swap. The Chinese EV
maker intends to launch its Onvo L60 EV here late in the year, but it is not known
whether it will roll out battery swap stations. Since launching in Europe in 2021
with a limited electric car line-up it has produced 59 battery swapping stations.
The Nio Onvo L60 features 900 Volt electrical architecture and offer class leading
ultra-fast charging. I’m David Berthon
