In this video, I'll take you to the upgrades of the NIO Gen 4.0 battery swap station and my thoughts on exciting swap alliance.

I enjoyed your video! It's great to get a real world perspective on the realities of battery swapping and from a local perspective. I firmly believe that, just as you mentioned, battery swapping is a crucial 'complementary' method in charging ALL EVs along with the usual home charging + fast charging. Adding solar panels on the NIO swap stations is icing on the cake and a very efficient use of available space. Now...if all the EV manufacturers would come together and standardise the above proven concept of battery swaps, the integration of EVs into world wide markets would become far more acceptable and more embraced. Looking forward to many more of your vids!!

NIce content. Love this brand (also invested 😪). In my point of view a real big step would be a drive through function which is possible but mostly not offered because of the space issues for the station I guess. Always good to have news form NIO. I will follow you from here on. Well done.

Thanks ; ) you are correct with the space limitation in some stations that cause no availability with drive thru swap. Yet some stations on highway service points are open for fully automatic seamless drive thru swap without any human intervening, I’d say they are upgrading more now. I’m exciting about this and would love to try shortly.

Nice! I saw a video that while you are swapping battery, u can get a coffee.
@ransyoutube14 күн бұрын
That's correct. That was only the prototype station tested in Shanghai region, I believe they'll renovate most stations with this vending machine or even mini cafe in the future, I wish to try that out soon.

I'm wondering if they will put a mini Cafe at charging stations. 12 minute charge gives you time for a drink and a snack.
@ransyoutube7 күн бұрын
Yes this has been tested already in a prototype in Shanghai last month, I believe they'll start to install that massly the other half year.

Another great video! Even NIO may want to use this for instructional purposes. Nice to see the table comparing the different generations. Regarding the high power chargers (max 640kW), I suppose when charging the ET5 with 75kWh battery, you are limited to max 140kW, correct?
@ransyoutube2 күн бұрын
Glad you liked it! Yes, the 75 is limited to 140KW while the 100 can get the max. 250KW output charging. I don't know about the 150KWh but I'll try that soon. this ultra chargers are technically built for all EV users especially those 800V EV or even higher like 900V.

For swapping batteries at busy highway rest stops, will Nio consider one-way traffic flow. Theoretically the process of swapping battery becomes faster as the car doesn't have to back out.

It took me some seconds to comprehend your comment : ) but now I did and I believe it's very interesting, I'll ask someone from their management about this any time in the future that I'm joining some of their seminars.

@@ransyoutube Sorry, it was very late or early here when I typed in the comment. I meant one-way as in a drive thru car wash like those in North America. For very dense urban environment, Nio's current battery swap station makes sense as space is very limited.

@@peterlai9018 Yes, I understand what you meant, that'll require a different construction layout of the station.

They should have focused on regular electric vehicles instead of swappable batteries. Just look at BYD; they're competing neck and neck with Tesla in terms of production and delivery numbers.

Then it’ll become some random boring brand that compete in prices mostly, nothing visionary. There are too many of them already.
