Chinese electric car manufacturer NIO is launching a fresh version of its battery swap station – the Power Swap Station 2.0. The facility provides fully charged batteries for all NIO models.

<\/p>

“The NIO system is an alternative to conventional electric vehicle charging stations.<\/a> No need to wait for the empty EV battery to recharge – the mechanisms replace it with an already charged cell. The action takes up to 5 minutes.

<\/p>

The modern bus stop does not require human touch – it operates entirely automatically. Even parking your car in a dedicated space is self-driving. The station can replace up to 312 batteries per day, i.e. y. three times more than the previous version.

<\/p>

The battery change station holds a total of 14 cells: 13 battery packs and 1 dead or old battery. There is also a separate section for car parking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are currently over 170 Power Swap 2.0 stations in China. NIO’s battery exchange network in China is expected to reach 500 units by the end of this year.

<\/p>

The improved new battery change station will serve different power packs: 70 kWh, 84 kWh, 100 kWh and the future 150 kWh cells.

<\/p>

“NIO scientists never cease to amaze. By the end of 2022, the carmaker is set to release battery packs with incredible power – as much as 150 kWh. The new cells will have half the energy density of a 100 kWh battery and promise longer lifetimes and higher charging efficiency.

<\/p>

“The NIO allows battery upgrades for older EV models. So with a 150 kWh battery, the 2018 NIO ES8 <\/em>will have an impressive range of 730 km.<\/p>

NIO’s more modern EVs with the new battery pack will have a significant increase in rpm: the ES8 <\/em>will cover 850 km and the ES6 <\/em>and EC6<\/em> around 900 km. This is equivalent to the direct distance between Lithuania and Germany.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
