The note also mentions that on January 25, three days before the start of the Chinese New Year holiday, the brand recorded 119,848 battery swap services.
Additionally, between January 22 and February 5, Nio provided 1,716,746 battery swap services, a 44% increase compared to the previous year. It is worth noting that in China, the battery swap service is the preferred method for drivers of Nio models to recharge their electric vehicles.
