I believe in China EV batteries are commonly on some kind of subscription system, replaced at service intervals or when their total capacity runs low, so from a consumer point of view it doesn't matter so much if it shortens the battery life. If you’re buying the pack outright it matters more.
- raptium 2y agoChina does have some car brands that support battery swapping, with NIO being a notable example that markets this feature. However, their market share isn’t particularly high. It can be said that battery swapping is a common practice in China, but it isn’t the primary method for electric vehicle energy replenishment. Incidentally, NIO vehicles don’t support particularly high charging speeds. High-speed charging can impact battery lifespan, so manufacturers like NIO also prefer to avoid promoting fast charging from their perspective.
