The milestone signifies the start of the cooperation between NIO and the world's top furniture retailer on building battery swap stations, said NIO. In the future, there will be more NIO's battery swap facilities deployed in IKEA's stores.

According to NIO, it had 100 battery swap stations newly built during the past 33 days.

Aside from IKEA, NIO has joined hands with many commercial business conglomerates like Red Star Macalline, Metro AG, AEON and Yintai Group to jointly build battery swap stations.

As of Jan. 21, 2022, NIO has already deployed 800 battery swap stations, 637 supercharging stations, 645 destination charging stations, and had access to more than 460,000 third-party charging piles.

CATL, the biggest power battery supply of NIO, launched its battery swap service brand “EVOGO” and the module battery swap solution.

As a main part of the solution, the fast battery swap station boasts small floor space, quick circulation, high capacity and all-weather service. Covering a small space equivalent to three parking spots, a standard station allows one-minute swap for a single battery pack.

Responding to CATL's move, NIO said it welcomes all innovation and business models facilitating users' car usage and travelling.
