At the NIO Berlin, the Chinese EV startup said it would kick off reservations of its three newest models—the ET7, the EL7, and the ET5—to consumers in the aforesaid four countries through a flexible subscription model.

NIO added it would establish sales and service networks in these countries to directly serve its users with the NIO center in Berlin about to open for business. In other cities, such as Hamburg, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Goteborg, NIO Centers are under construction and will be put into use soon.

Regarding the power network, NIO said its European-spec charging map had been put into use. It plans to deploy 20 battery swap stations in Europe by the end of 2022, and raise the total number to 120 by the end of 2023.

The company aims to build 1,000 battery swap stations outside China by 2025, most of which will be located in Europe.
