Chinese EV manufacturer NIO says that 60 percent of drivers using its electric cars prefer swapping their EV’s battery at a quick change station rather than plugging in and recharging.
The Asian car maker bet big on battery swap stations since its inception in 2014 and says that more and more drivers of its models want to take a trip to a battery swapping station. The data comes from over 6.2 billion miles (10 billion kilometers) driven by NIO vehicles in China and Europe, where the car brand operates 1,383 Power Swap Stations.
