NIO firefly’s First Battery Swap: The Full 3-Minute Experience #NIO

The NIO firefly can finally use a fifth-generation battery swap station—and this is my car’s first-ever swap. Starting with only 49 km of displayed range, I drive into the station, let the automated parking system take over, watch the underbody mechanism work, and experience the complete swap from inside the car. The cabin stays powered, NIO Radio and the ambient lighting continue working, and the new battery finishes at 92% with 244 km displayed range. The video also shows firefly’s unique swap animation and explains why its liquid-cooled, bolt-fastened battery pack matters for impact resistance and vehicle safety. Would battery swapping make an EV more appealing to you, or would you still prefer fast charging? Let us know in the comments.
