SHANGHAI, CHINA – At the auto show, NIO introduced the Power North Plan. In three years, it will deploy a total of 100 Power Swap stations, 120 Power Mobiles, 500 Power Charger stations with over 2,000 Power Chargers, and over 10,000 destination chargers in eight provinces and autonomous regions, including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. With the completion of the Power North Plan in the areas mentioned above, there will be one Power Swap station or Power Charger station every 100 kilometers along the expressways on average and one reliable charging or swapping station every three square kilometers in the urban area of prefecture-level cities; 95% of the tourist attractions rated AAAA or above will have charging or swapping facilities. The Power North Plan will significantly better the power experience of electric vehicle users in northern China. With that, NIO will make a step closer to the vision of driving an electric vehicle wherever a gasoline car can go.
