CHINESE electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio expects its unique battery swapping technology will help grow its market share as it expands globally.
Nio founder and chief executive William Li believes the company's battery swaps are a unique attraction because EV drivers can spend less time at charging stations. They can also choose different battery capacities to suit their own needs.
