That was an incredibly difficult route for autonomous driving, not sure if a Tesla could have done it without interventions, my Model 3 here in EU def not!
I believe there will be multiple ways to charge. Swapping seems to be an efficient way. How does it compare to fast charging with grid storage(megapacks) that store energy at night and dispense during the day via fast charging. Any thoughtful discussion would be welcome.
Nio is better as it will use charging at night time when electricity is cheap and it can also sell electricity back to grid during intense power needs helping to stabilize the grid. Nio also plans to have its batteries charged via solar and wind to help make it greener then this packs get transported via an electric truck to the station
Thanks for the demo! That’s biatchen! Do you think users will ever have to wait in line outside the swap station a long time before the battery gets swapped? Or does Nio have that under control and they are adding more swap station stalls as they sell more EVs and as the demand increases?
Theoretically, you need to average 1200 kW to be able to charge a 100kWh battery in 5 minutes. Even if in some areas the grid allows you, Faster means higher power, that means bigger transformers (thousands of kVA), that means very high costs. On the other hand you need only a 500 kVA transformer to run a swap station. DCFC will never beat the speed of swapping.
@@wassimratel2133 i agree, also, you would need several stalls at one location, which would complicate the power delivery even more, than a lower power requirement swap station, that can service as quickly, unless there are 30 cars that all come back to back. Also those station potentially can solve a different problem at a certain saturation point, which is power storage of renewables and reserve power for peak hours
@@pmungze108because it doesn't scale. Tesla demonstrated this the first time and decided not to use it. Because of that decision Tesla now has the supercharger network all around the world at far less cost.
@@sijugeo1973 Well, that's true Tesla did abandon it. Can't say for sure, but I think it might've been just bad timing for them back in 2013 financially to pursue something that is admittedly very cost intensive. There are so many positives to swapping though, which if mentioned here would be too tedious. As a consumer, logically speaking, I just know that if I had to drive an electrical vehicle, batteries would be the one thing that I'd like to have that was most accessible, a thing that can be changed in and out without hassle.
@@sijugeo1973just because tesla didn't or couldn't do battery swap doesn't mean it won't work or be scalable. Nio has proven it is scalable, nio also has the most fast chargers in China. There's a reason why petrol stations, power companies, governments, and many other auto companies are partnering nio on battery swap. I hope tesla doesn't get left behind.
Let's go NIO, NOMI is so awesome I would use this AI daily! I can't wait to see ONVO all over China and Europe!!!
Wow another great advance feature from Nio ( nobody has this). Thanks for sharing Eric for great demo of how this work.
keep pumping out those NIO videos Eric!!!!
Awesome stuff Eric! Love watching your videos on the beautiful NIO phone you sent me✌️😎
Thanks for the video, this is the future!
Can’t wait for nio to come to the uk
Love this video
Go NIO ❤
Wow, amazing
Excellent! Nio is the future!

The best technology in the world. China is eating US lunch.

Battery 🔋 swapping is the only way by NIO
NIO 🚀
What’s the hold up on importing these cars to the US?
National security reason
@@ssimon1328 nope, tarifs rn, but for Nio to come to US en masse, they will probably need to build a factory, same with a more scalable EU entry
Amazing 👌🏾

Do the Gen 4 swap stations have a dedicated battery for grid balancing. Seems like a good idea 💡 then it won't interrupt the swappable batteries.
NIO stock is a no brainer long term hold.
Sadly one of the station burn down swapping batteries in China , imagine you in the car. We don’t like that to happen
What are you working as in China btw?
I think fast charging will solve this issue in the future. Its not hard to imagine an EV getting fully charged under 5 minutes in the near future.
And where does all that Power come from? Essentially, the more EVs on the roads, the more the grid limitation you will get.
It will never be faster and convenient than battery swap you are missing the whole picture my friend
The grid is going to evolve there is always a solution for those issues time will tell

No thanks NIO going bankrupt. I’ll stick with BYD
power swap is a dumb idea
you are so stupid 😂
Why?

Nice video thanks 🙏,
But VSP is the new shit, Valet Power Swap 🪫🔁🔋🏁
What’s that one now.?
VSP allows you to leave the car in a parking spot and it'll go swapp by the battery by itself and go back to the parking spot.
