This ain’t no joke folks, these batteries swap very quickly — watch in real-time as the car maneuvers itself into the swap station, and removes and replaces its battery — all in less than five minutes. Also, Nio says there have been some improvements to the stations themselves. Nio says the swap can now happen in as little as 144 seconds.
It’s a very smooth process. After the car backs itself in, it places itself into neutral and does a quick system check. Then, it cuts the car’s main power (the infotainment screen and blower motor will continue to function), raising the vehicle. The battery is removed, and the car is placed back on its wheels. The automated battery cabinet finds a fresh battery, raises the car once more, and installs it. The car does one more self-check as it’s lowered back onto its wheels. When the car’s speedometer and gear selector reappear, it’s time to drive away.
