The battery swapping stations news comes directly from Nio president Qin Lihong. He claims that the company will have as many as 700 of these stations ready to go around the world by the end of the year.

The positive news for NIO stock doesn’t stock there. Qin Lihong says that the company is also moving forward with plans for even more battery swapping stations. This has the company estimating for 4,000 of these locations by the time 2025 rolls around, reports Reuters.

The announcement from Nio is some much-needed good news for the company’s stock. Shares of NIO have been down the last few days as several markets suffered alongside the stock market. The electric vehicle (EV) market was among them with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Churchill Capital (NYSE:CCIV) also seeing shares fall.
