Recharging Experience Goes Beyond Refuelling
NIO Power Swap Stations allow NIO users to fully recharge their vehicles faster than traditional refuelling &ndash; all without leaving their car.

Occupying the same footprint as four parking spaces, NIO Power Swap Station 3.0, capable of holding up to 21 batteries, is a groundbreaking charging solution designed to eliminate range concerns and deliver unparalleled convenience. PSS 3.0 is capable of performing up to 408 battery swaps in a single day.
With every swap, an extensive and advanced system health check is performed, taking vehicle safety and drivetrain performance to the next level.

NIO's strategic expansion plan of its Power network is focused on the vision of making electric vehicle ownership seamless and accessible in the UAE. By increasing the availability of charging infrastructure across key locations, NIO aims to actively address a major concern for potential EV adopters: range anxiety. This approach not only enhances the convenience and practicality of owning an electric vehicle but also contributes significantly to the broader goal of fostering a sustainable and efficient transportation ecosystem in the UAE. With a growing network, NIO aims to empower more drivers to embrace the future of mobility and make the switch to electric vehicles a simple and rewarding choice.
A Game-Changer in EV Battery Swapping Technology
NIO Power is a mobile internet-based smart power service solution with an extensive network of battery charging and swap facilities. The station redefines conventional EV charging with a future-ready design that enables seamless battery upgrades and supports sustainable recycling processes. To date, NIO has filed over 1,650 patents related to its Power Swap Station technology.
Enhanced by NIO&rsquo;s Power Cloud, the power service system delivers intelligent battery management, extending battery life and optimising energy use while catering to all scenarios - whether for short commutes or long-distance travel. The pioneering third-generation Power Swap Station offers a seamless and efficient solution that&rsquo;s faster than super-charging, where rather than recharging the same battery, the system swaps it out for a fully charged one, ensuring minimal wait time. Meanwhile, batteries within the station are charged using an optimised charging current that prolongs battery life and ensures the vehicle is always ready for the road.
Other game-changing factors of NIO Power Swap Station include its ability to participate in grid peak regulation, as well as flexible disassembly for easier battery recycling and reuse.
NIO users enjoy the convenience of Power Swap Stations for the first three years of ownership, with the option to extend access for up to five years from the vehicle&rsquo;s registration. Pricing for battery swaps is straightforward and inclusive, covering both the swap and a full charge: AED 119 for 100kWh batteries and AED 99 for 75kWh batteries.
As of 26th February 2025, NIO has completed over 67 million swaps for its users.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,
 23rd October 2024: NIO, a pioneer in the premium smart electric vehicle market, has
announced the introduction of EL8, its smart electric flagship SUV to the United Arab Emirates, the first market for the
brand in the region, following the formation announcement of NIO MENA, a joint venture with its strategic Abu
Dhabi-based partner, CYVN Holdings, earlier this month.

 Founded in November 2014, NIO has rapidly established itself as a leader in the premium smart electric vehicle market,
 growing a network of users, employees, and investors worldwide. NIO currently serves over 598,
 000 users across China and
 Europe. In 2023 alone, more than 107,

Sustainability at the wheel

NIO is at the forefront of the sustainable vehicle movement, committed to producing zero-emission electric vehicles that
reduce human reliance on fossil fuels, thereby contributing to a cleaner environment. The company's groundbreaking
battery-swapping technology minimizes waste and promotes resource efficiency by extending the lifespan of batteries.

Furthermore, NIO is actively working on renewable energy solutions to power its infrastructure, ensuring its commitment
to sustainability extends beyond the vehicles themselves. Through its Clean Parks initiative, NIO collaborates with
renowned organizations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to
support global natural conservation.
 
 Redefining technology and comfort in driving experiences
 
 With their own research and development capabilities, NIO has developed NIO Full Stack – a collection of 12 technology
 domains. With over 11,
 000 employees working in R&D, NIO has collectively filed over 9,
 100 patents globally.
 
 All NIO vehicles are equipped with SkyOS, a platform that manages a range of vehicle functions, from autonomous driving
 and smart cabins to connectivity and digital cockpits. SkyOS allows seamless integration across various systems,
 creating a unified driving experience. A part of the advanced in-car technologies is NOMI, an in-built AI system
 designed to enhance the driving experience. NOMI listens, thinks, and understands, transforming the car from a machine
 into a thoughtful companion.
 
 A true digital powerhouse, NIO’s intelligent Banyan system enables all the smart functionality and is constantly
 refreshing the rich content features through over-the-air (OTA) updates. NIO ADAM supercomputing – the most powerful,
 mass-produced mobile computing platform to date with 1,
 016 TOPS – is the brain of every NIO, while Aquila Super Sensing
 is the eye, responsible for obtaining a wealth of useful and reassuring driving information. Using NIO’s full-stack
 technology algorithms, Aquila processes data from 33 cameras and sensors to offer a complete picture of the dynamic
 environment around the vehicle. NIO models also benefit from the industry’s furthest-detecting mass-product LiDAR. The
 1,
 550 nm LiDAR can reach a maximum detection distance of 500 meters, equivalent to the length of five football pitches.
 8 MP high-resolution cameras see further with finer detail, detecting vehicles 680 meters away, pedestrians 220 meters
 away, and traffic furniture such as cones 160 meters away. These technologies redefine the standards of intelligent
 driving sensing systems on production model cars.
 
 In addition, NIO Power, an innovative smart power service solution, addresses range anxiety by allowing users to use
 NIO’s ground-breaking battery swap technology, where batteries can be replaced in as little as three minutes. These
 game-changing Power Swap Stations will be introduced in key locations across the UAE over the coming months, providing
 drivers with a charging solution that is as fast as refueling. NIO also offers NIO Power Home chargers, offering users
 the ultimate home charging experience.

Users at the heart of the journey

As a User Enterprise, NIO aims to foster a community for users to grow together. Its user-centric approach, both on and offline includes the NIO App, NIO Life and NIO House.

The NIO App, available from launch, is a digital hub for car-related services like remote control, air conditioning pre-cooling, charging and maintenance, as well as share car ownership experiences.


NIO's original lifestyle brand, NIO Life, offers a wide range of products that cater to the community's needs, aiming to create a unique sense of belonging for NIO users. NIO Life focuses on using sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices to align with NIO’s mission of a greener future, whilst being driven by design.


Opening later this year, the first NIO House in the MENA region will be located in The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi. A living room for NIO users and friends, NIO House reimagines the showroom experience as a hub for the user community to gather, share and experience memorable moments together. The local community will be able to attend activities and events, relax in the NIO Café and purchase products from NIO Life.
