I feel like NIO’s continued rollout of battery swap stations (which it calls Power Swap Stations) goes under the radar. Sure, whenever the topic of battery swapping is brought up again, NIO is brought into the conversation, but the rest of the time, we sort of forget about it and don’t realize how much NIO continues to develop the network.
In its latest summary of monthly accomplishments, though, the company points out that it installed another 56 power swap stations last month! Month after month, NIO launches more and more battery swap stations. In addition to those 56 power swap stations, NIO installed 56 more charging stations (bringing the total of the two combined to 112). NIO also opened 4 more NIO Houses.
Through the end of April, NIO had a whopping 3,354 Power Swap Stations in operation worldwide. That’s a stunning total, and they still provide the quickest, most convenient full recharge on the planet.
In addition, the company had 4,560 charging stations in place with 26,233 chargers, and it had 187 NIO Houses open around the world — but mostly in China. It is also connected to 1,835,000+ third-party chargers.
NIO has reached 737,558 cumulative deliveries — 697,385 from the NIO brand and 39,942 from the newer, family oriented ONVO brand. The company has now launched the Firefly brand as well. Deliveries of the first Firefly models began on April 29.
Regarding ONVO, its second model was just launched in April as well, at Auto Shanghai 2025. That would be the L90. “Built upon NIO’s decade of full-stack in-house technology and outstanding engineering expertise, the L90 features a 240L smart powered front compartment and an unprecedented 6-passenger, 10-suitcase capacity, earning its title as the“King of Space” among three-row SUVs,” NIO writes.
Additionally, still into ESG apparently, NIO released its 2024 ESG report. The reported highlighted “the company’s sustainability management and achievements across six key areas: effective governance, environmental protection, premium products, a responsible value chain, employee development, and collaboration to create sustainable social value.” How wholesome. Isn’t it just nice to have feelgood companies like this without all the drama?
