Baidu Map opens up platform to NIO’s valet charging service

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- From August 29, users are allowed to utilize NIO Power's valet charging service “One Click for Power” through the app Baidu Map, a desktop and mobile mapping solution created by Chinese search engine giant Baidu.

Clicking the button "Charging pile map" on the app's user interface, users will find a hashtag "One Click Charging" at the top-right corner of the screen, which is exactly the access to NIO's "One Click for Power" service.

The charging service will enable an EV to be quickly charged based on the NIO Cloud that is able to offer a proper charging method after analyzing vehicle locations and volumes of NIO's mobile charging vans and charging piles. Users of NIO and other EV brands can enjoy the newly-added function at RMB280 per service.

This is the second cooperation between NIO and Baidu after the Baidu Map was implanted into NIO's car-borne navigation system in March, 2019. 

Extended to the public on April 16, NIO's "One Click for Power" service has so far been deployed in over 40 cities around China, according to an official press release.

NIO Power is a charging solution that is powered by the mobile internet, containing such specific services as Power Home (the charging pile tailor-made for NIO's vehicles), Power Charger (super charging pile), Power Swap and Power Mobile Vehicle, supported by NIO Cloud.

Aside from the Baidu Map, users still can use the "One Click for Power" service through the NIO App (Photo source: NIO).
