QNIO Launches Denmark’s First Battery Swap Station

Chinese electric automaker Nio has officially unveiled its first battery swap station in Denmark, marking the company’s continued expansion into the European market. The station, located in Slagelse on the western Danish island of Zealand, is the twelfth such station to be deployed across five European countries, including Germany, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.

In addition to the battery swap station, Nio has also deployed six supercharging stations, 18 supercharging piles, and over 388,000 third-party charging piles across Europe. Despite this impressive deployment, Nio executives have recently expressed disappointment that the rollout of battery swap stations has been slower than expected.

Nio’s Power Europe Facility in Hungary is responsible for manufacturing, servicing, and research and development of the company’s electric vehicles. These vehicles are offered with a battery-as-a-service model, which reduces initial purchase costs in favour of a monthly battery subscription. This subscription also provides access to battery swapping stations and battery upgrades.

The launch of Nio’s battery swap station in Denmark is a significant milestone for the company’s expansion into the European market. With its impressive deployment of charging infrastructure and battery-as-a-service model, Nio is well-positioned to become a major player in the electric vehicle industry.
