Everyone knows that NIO's battery swap stations are practical. From the earlier models like the NIO ES8 and NIO ES6. the battery swap service has been in use, and most owners really appreciate this service.
Having owned the NIO ET7 for a while, I hadn't tried the battery swap yet. Today, as I was passing by a battery swap station and had some time, I decided to experience it. Upon arriving near the battery swap station, I noticed there were parking lines outside the station, and fortunately, there was no queue. I drove directly into the parking space marked by the lines.
At this point, I switched to P gear, and the car displayed the battery swap service option. Then, I selected the parking option. The vehicle took over the steering, throttle, and brakes, requiring no manual operation throughout the process.
I could see that the vehicle's logic for parking into the space was very clear, with a speed almost identical to manually reversing into the spot, but even more precise.
Once the parking was successfully completed, the vehicle performed a self-check. The battery swap service only began after the self-check was completed.
After the self-check was successful, the power was cut off. There was no need to panic at this point; just stay inside the car. The robot below would replace the battery, and the entire process didn't take long—just enough time to play on your phone a bit.
With the parking assistance at the battery swap station, there's no need to worry about improper vehicle positioning during the battery swap. Relying entirely on the vehicle's system for parking is more convenient and efficient, unlike manual parking where adjustments might be needed repeatedly.
