Buying a car with a battery? So passé! NIO says, let's do something different: buy the car, rent the battery!
NIO's "Battery as a Service" model is a wallet-slimming miracle. Take the ET5: total price 298,000 yuan, battery worth 70,000. Buy outright? Pay 298,000. Rent? Pay 228,000 plus 728 yuan monthly. It's like a "zero down payment" deal!
But wait, there's more! NIO has built 2,500 battery swap stations in China. In 3 minutes, faster than refueling, you're fully charged!
Tesla and others tried battery swapping and failed. How did NIO succeed? With a robust service system and product support!
Seems like in the EV market, a good car isn't enough - you need good ideas too!
