NIO is working on diversifying the refueling methods. It formally launched on August 20 the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) service, which allows customers to buy electric vehicles and subscribe the usage of battery packs separately.

The service will render the cost of using an EV more affordable. If users decide to purchase a NIO's vehicle and subscribe to use the 70kWh battery pack under the BaaS model, they can enjoy the vehicle purchase price with a 70,000 yuan ($10,310) deduction off the original price and pay a monthly fee of 980 yuan ($144) for the battery pack. Meanwhile, the users will still enjoy the purchase tax exemption and government NEV subsidies.

Besides, NIO’s entire model lineup will be showcased at the grand motor show.

The high-profiled EV maker will publish on spot the information about the upgrade of the NIO OS 2.7.0, the infotainment system of NIO's vehicles, and officially launch the NOP (Navigation on Pilot) function, an in-house developed advanced driver assistance feature that allows the vehicle to drive on and off ramp, overtake, merge lanes and cruise according to planned routes.

NIO's lifestyle brand, NIO Life, plans to launch at the Auto China 2020 a new cross-platform partnership to further manifest NIO's unique understanding and innovative ideas in creating a joyful lifestyle.
