On February 22, 2026, marking the sixth day of the Lunar New Year festivities, NIO set a remarkable new benchmark by completing 177,627 battery swaps in a single day. This achievement translates to an average of less than 0.5 seconds per swap, marking an unprecedented streak of five consecutive days of record-breaking performance. The top three battery swap stations, based on daily swap volume, were situated in Yingtan, Jiangxi Province; Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, both in Jiangsu Province. As of now, NIO has deployed more than 8,600 charging and battery swap stations throughout China. This expansive network includes over 3,700 battery swap stations, with more than 1,000 specifically designed for highway use. These stations span across 9 major urban clusters in the north-south direction and 11 in the east-west direction, effectively linking 550 cities across the nation.
