Jiyue has expanded its partnership with Nio to offer a seamless charging experience for owners of Jiyue’s electric vehicles. This partnership allows Jiyue owners to plug in and charge at select Nio charging stations, eliminating the need for extra steps such as scanning a QR code or using a mobile app to initiate charging. By embracing the plug and charge approach, Jiyue aims to provide a more convenient charging experience for its customers.
Nio is known for having the largest charging and battery swap network in China, catering not only to Nio owners but also to owners of other EV brands. Charging at public stations in China typically involves connecting the charger to the vehicle, initiating charging through a QR code scan, and paying via a mobile app. The support for plug and charge at Nio charging stations streamlines the process by allowing owners to start charging simply by plugging in their vehicles, saving time and effort that would otherwise be spent on manual initiation steps.
Tesla vehicles are also known for offering plug and charge capabilities at Tesla’s charging piles, highlighting the convenience that this feature brings to EV owners. By partnering with Nio and enabling plug and charge at select Nio charging piles, Jiyue is aligning itself with industry standards and providing a similar user experience to its customers. This move reflects Jiyue’s commitment to enhancing the overall charging experience for EV owners and making the process more user-friendly.
In April, Jiyue announced a charging network interconnection partnership with Nio, connecting to over 20,000 Nio Power charging piles in 312 cities across China. Through this partnership, Jiyue owners can access Nio’s charging stations via the Jiyue App, including the ability to initiate charging without the need to scan a QR code. By offering a password-free payment setup, Jiyue ensures a seamless and efficient charging process for its customers, further enhancing user convenience.
Currently, Jiyue’s charging network has access to over 500,000 third-party charging piles, including over 12,000 from Nio. While not all Nio chargers offer plug and charge capabilities for Jiyue vehicles, the partnership between the two companies continues to evolve to provide more seamless charging solutions for EV owners. By leveraging Nio’s extensive charging infrastructure, Jiyue aims to expand its reach and provide a reliable and efficient charging experience for its customers across China.
By embracing the plug and charge feature at select Nio charging stations, Jiyue demonstrates its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction in the EV market. This partnership highlights the industry’s focus on enhancing charging infrastructure and user experience to drive EV adoption and make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, partnerships between companies like Jiyue and Nio play a crucial role in shaping the future of sustainable transportation and advancing the EV ecosystem.
