Chinese EV automaker NIO has officially opened its first battery swap station in Denmark, bringing its total station count to twelve throughout Europe. The centrally located station will offer battery swap access to new NIO drivers in several European countries, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands.
NIO first announced plans to expand to markets outside of China in May 2021, beginning with Norway. Germany soon followed as NIO’s next target, and the first outside of China to receive deliveries of its ET7 sedan. During the launch of its second EV sedan, the ET5, NIO shared plans for additional expansion in Europe.
The Denmark swap station is located in Slagelse, about 100 km (62 mi) southwest of Copenhagen next to the E20 highway. NIO states that the station is located in the center of five different European countries, making it a convenient option for drivers in the region.
In addition to the twelve NIO-branded stations, NIO drivers have access to nearly 390,000 third-party chargers throughout Europe. This allows drivers to charge their vehicles quickly and conveniently, no matter where they are located.
NIO’s expansion into Europe is a major milestone for the EV automaker and a sign of its commitment to providing customers with reliable and convenient charging options. With more battery swap stations planned for the future, NIO is sure to become a leader in EV charging solutions across the continent.
