Nio has played a significant role in the development of Singapore Standard SS 722, the country’s newly released specification for electric vehicle charging and battery swapping systems. For the first time, SS 722 includes detailed technical requirements for both battery swap and mobile charging solutions, covering passenger cars and heavy-duty trucks.
According to Nio, the company served as a key contributor throughout the standardization process. The updated SS 722 introduces “Electric Vehicles Charging System – Part 4: Battery Swapping and Mobile Charging System,” marking an important milestone in the international harmonization of battery swap technology.
Since its founding, Nio has emphasized the importance of industry standards. The company reports that it has led or participated in the creation and revision of more than 50 national, industry, and association standards, in addition to four International Electrotechnical Commission standards. As of June 10, Nio has filed over 1,650 battery swap patents worldwide. In China, it operates 3,904 battery swap stations, 5,056 charging stations, and 29,089 individual chargers, with cumulative battery swaps surpassing 110 million.
Looking ahead, Nio said it will continue to innovate, promote the standardization of emerging technologies, and collaborate with industry partners to advance global benchmarks for electric mobility.
Singapore serves as an important market in the company’s overseas expansion strategy. Nio was the first Chinese automaker to list on three exchanges when it joined the Singapore Exchange main board in May 2022. In May 2023, then-Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong visited Nio to review its battery technology; he became Singapore’s Prime Minister the following year.
Earlier this year, Nio introduced the right-hand drive version of its Firefly EV at the 2026 Singapore Motorshow. Deliveries of the first batch of Firefly vehicles began on February 1. Nio plans to use Firefly as its spearhead brand for further international growth, targeting distribution in 40 countries and regions by the end of the year.
