A Nio battery swap station at a carpark in Beijing. Battery swapping or battery switching is an electric vehicle technology that allows battery electric vehicles to quickly exchange a discharged battery pack for a fully charged one, rather than to recharge the vehicle via a charging station.
Battery swapping or battery switching is an electric vehicle technology that allows battery electric vehicles to quickly exchange a discharged battery pack for a fully charged one, rather than to recharge the vehicle via a charging station. Battery swapping is common in electric forklift applications.
By 2025, we have set a target to locate more than 4,000 battery swap stations worldwide, with 1,000 of them based outside China. By introducing the convenience of widespread swapping stations, NIO's battery service has also reduced the price of each electric vehicle by $10,000 because the battery service is decoupled from the sale of the car.
Users can now drive into any one of NIO's 517 Power Swap Stations around China to get a fresh battery pack installed in about five minutes. That's roughly the same time it takes to fill up a tank of gas. The EV industry has struggled to create a viable model for quick and easy battery swaps in recent decades.
Currently, Taiwanese electric scooter manufacturer Gogoro operates the largest battery swap network for electric mopeds, with nearly 11,000 GoStations in Taiwan, and 250 in Mainland China. Chinese luxury carmaker Nio is the only major operator of automobile battery swapping stations for the public.
You pull up to an automated station and a machine pops out your EV’s depleted battery and puts in a fully charged one. Nio has made headlines with this technology for years, but in 2024, it’s clear this is no experiment or one-off novelty. Nio has done more than 57 million battery swaps since it introduced its swapping service in 2018.
