Battery swap usage in county-level areas surged by 279% compared to the previous period. Additionally, NIO opened its network of 4,926 charging stations and over 28,000 charging piles to the entire industry, with more than 85% of the electricity dispensed serving users of other brands’ new energy vehicles.
