On December 5th, Ledao Automobile announced the "National Battery Doubling Plan for Battery Swap Stations." At that time, Ledao Automobile stated that it would invest over 8,000 new battery packs into the swap network, with completion expected by mid-January next year. By then, the number of Ledao batteries in the national swap network will exceed twice the planned amount, which will meet the battery swap demand during the peak travel season and provide a leading and convenient energy replenishment experience for the rapidly growing user base in the long term.

It is reported that the battery investment was launched in November, with over 800 units completed so far. This plan aims to provide real long-term value for both new and existing LeDao users and support the brand in achieving organic growth. Additionally, the strategy for deploying battery resources will prioritize northern regions, based on regional user retention and battery swapping demand. This will be complemented by flexible upgrade coupons for the 85kWh batteries available later, helping users upgrade their range as needed at more favorable prices during the winter.

According to public information, under the leadership of the LeDao L90, this November, LeDao Auto delivered 11,794 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 132.1%. Among them, the LeDao L90, which has been on the market for four months, has accumulated nearly 40,000 deliveries, ranking first in sales for large pure electric SUVs. Leveraging the NIO energy system, LeDao Auto can share more than 1,000 high-speed battery swap stations, completing the "9 vertical, 11 horizontal, 16 major city clusters" high-speed battery swap network, achieving an average layout density of one high-speed battery swap station every 180 kilometers.

According to official data from NIO, as of now, they have built 3,618 battery swap stations, including 1,003 on highways; 4,835 charging stations, 27,557 charging piles, and have integrated over 1,460,000 third-party charging piles.
