The ONVO Thousand Stations Plan is being rolled out according to the distribution of user demand for battery swaps, focusing on both "core urban clusters along expressways" and "major national expressways."

As of the end of July 2024, ONVO has built ten NIO fourth-generation battery swap stations and upgraded 49 third-generation stations. Moving forward, ONVO aims to ensure that users can access more than 1,000 battery swap stations by year-end.

In addition, ONVO aims to gradually expand its expressway battery swap network, covering nine north–south and nine east–west expressways across 19 major urban clusters.

To better meet user needs, ONVO has launched the "ONVO Battery Swap Wishlist" campaign. From now until September 3, every ONVO owner can select three preferred locations for new battery swap stations on the charging map. These user inputs will serve as crucial references for the company's future station deployments.

In terms of products, ONVO CEO Ai Tiecheng revealed that the ONVO L60 model will be officially put onto the market in late September this year. Pre-sales for the vehicle began on May 15, with a starting price of 219,900 yuan. The L60, positioned as a pure electric mid-sized SUV, is built on a 900V platform and supports battery swapping.
