⬤ NIO has fixed a mismatch inside its battery swap network - more stations now accept ONVO cars as the sub brand gains buyers. ONVO cars carry 60-kWh or 85-kWh packs - the core NIO range uses 75-kWh or 100-kWh packs. After the change ONVO drivers reach a swap point without delay and the single network serves both brands as sales rise.
⬤ Figures show ONVO's weight inside the group. During 2024 NIO delivered 201 209 vehicles - ONVO added 20 761. One year later the totals realigned - NIO reached 146 909, ONVO hit 98 654 and the new Firefly line added 32 330. Month-by-month figures through 2025 show ONVO deliveries rising each period - faster swap station support became urgent.
⬤ The schedule fits the calendar. Travel peaks at Chinese New Year besides NIO tuned the network for the surge. When one station accepts every pack size, drivers avoid queues during the heaviest travel season.
⬤ The action reveals NIO's effort to fold its sub brands under a single service roof. As ONVO claims a larger share and rivals close in, one shared swap format improves the customer journey, raises station throughput and preserves brand strength at a pivotal growth point.
