On this route, the NIO Power network supports its users to travel from Lianyungang, located on the east coast of China, all the way to Tianshui in the western province Gansu with battery swapping.

"We are proud to see that NIO has performed nearly 31 million power swap operations for users or nearly 60,000 operations per day on average, which means that every 1.4 seconds, a car departs from a Power Swap Station with its battery fully charged.", says Dr. Fei Shen, Senior Vice President of NIO Power. "NIO will keep building Power Swap Stations to make recharging beyond refueling. With our rechargeable, swappable, and upgradable power system, we support users to travel in smart EVs without worrying about the distances to their destinations."
