Should car companies build their own charging systems? Some people think it should be, so that their own users can get a better experience; others think that there is no need to build it, and that there should be enough room for third-party platforms such as State Grid to survive. No matter which one has its own reasons, NIO has firmly chosen the former. In addition to building battery swap stations, it is also keen on building charging facilities. As of September 29,3,193 charging stations, 18,656 charging piles and 890,000+ three-way piles have been built.
What’s even more surprising is that in addition to being used by its own users, NIO’s charging stations are also very popular with car owners of other brands. Recently, some netizens captured a touching scene:
In a charging station of Weilai,Four of the five charging guns are occupied, and they are all ideal L series., the attendance rate is as high as 80%.
NIO has become the car brand that has built the largest number of charging piles in the Chinese market. More than 3,000 charging stations cover 307 cities across the country, reaching Fuyuan in the east, Kashgar in the west, Mohe in the north, and Sansha in the south, covering the four pole cities in China.
A total of more than 25 million charging services have been provided, with an average daily charging service of more than 48,000 times. NIO charging piles are open to all new energy brand car owners, and more than 80% of the charging capacity is for non-NIO car brand owners.

Really, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Weilai is a great benefactor in the automotive industry!
