At the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Café Auto Night Talk, following the strategic cooperation between Geely and NIO on battery charging and swapping, Li Shufu and Li Bin held their first public dialogue. Both expressed concern over the mismatch between vehicle and battery lifespans, as well as the cost and safety pain points arising from battery degradation once vehicles exceed their warranty period, and agreed that battery swapping is a viable path to resolving the issue. Li Shufu stated that Geely is optimistic about the battery swapping approach, which can eliminate users' anxiety about battery degradation and enable vehicles to be used reliably for twenty years. Li Bin noted that they had studied the relevant issues over a decade ago and opted for the battery swapping solution, which not only improves energy replenishment speed but also provides a channel for replacing aging batteries. He revealed that the cooperation between the two companies had been in the works for a long time and has achieved deep integration across multiple dimensions, and expressed the view that the domestic automobile industry has entered a stage of stock competition, where automakers jointly building infrastructure can help drive the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
