<p>Nio Inc participated in a large-scale vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trial in Jiangsu, China, where six of its battery swap stations delivered a peak power output of 1,540 kW, contributing 15% of the total discharge. The trial involved 70 energy facilities, including 56 charging stations and 14 battery swap stations. This initiative explores the potential of battery swap stations as energy storage facilities for grid frequency regulation. Nio has been testing power discharge from its stations since 2022 and recently launched V2G charging stations in Shanghai.</p>
