Integrated Energy Stations Planned Across the Greater Bay Area

Under the cooperation framework agreement, NIO Power and Science City Group plan to jointly invest in and develop integrated energy stations combining photovoltaic generation, energy storage, electric vehicle charging, and battery swapping. The initial focus will be on establishing a network of these stations in Guangzhou, with the plan gradually extending to Shenzhen and other major cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The approach is intended to combine multiple energy and EV infrastructure functions within a unified network, supporting broader deployment of charging and battery-swapping facilities across the region.
