  • 258 DC fast chargers, cafe, convenience store, fast food, and a toilet. What more could you ask for? Maybe a power swap station? And a clear address? Besides that, nothing really.

    One day, when cars that really need a charging spot cannot find one, they will need to hire people or robots to ticket the cars that are occupying the space but not charging. Hopefully, the fines will be enough for the extra cost.

    this is pretty cool i have never seen the future until i saw this video. Can you please do a few more vids like these. I'm form Canada and all i see is a few Teslas this is unheard of here. Also could you do a full day video of a swap station i'm curious how busy are swap stations. I like that you show other ev's in the surrounding area not just nio thanks

    Interesting vid. I think it’s critically that NIO get power swaps into those areas. Those stations, with tons of different charging stalls, serve as great promo for all the cars parked along. People can wander along and see different makes and models. Not having a swap station there means NIO is missing out of providing that promo to all those other drivers who may be looking for a new car in the next few months. Cheers. D

      They seem not too big of a hurry lol. I guess they don’t mind waiting for a charge and smoking stogs. I saw a taxi swap station in Kunming, I’ll try and put up a video on the shorts section I guess if you wanna see it

      Coal fired power stations but that’s remote combustion, so different 😅

    • @jianyang6281
      @jianyang6281 Před měsícem +1

      50% plus now for China is renewable power. coal fire power is getting less and less. the most important thing is "high voltage transmit" tech that sole owned by Chinese. we can transport renewable power from far far way place with a little bit wire lose. this is why I think other countries couldnot develop EVs, unless they could build a power house beside each town.

  • @timgoodman4472
    @timgoodman4472 Před 8 měsíci

    Wow that's just crazy. Maybe they should charge for parking so it's not treated as a rest area. We dropped our Nio off at a service center yesterday to have some bodywork done because some fool sideswiped us. It was Nio heaven. I've never seen so many in one place. Enjoy the Li it seems like a good ride.

    • @Eric_Garrison
      @Eric_Garrison  Před 8 měsíci

      Everybody alright from the sideswipe? That sucks, but on the other hand cool to see all those NIO. The LI drives nice, very comfy. Just would be better if it was fully electric, but I guess I'm in the minority on that opinion based on sales numbers.

    • @timgoodman4472
      @timgoodman4472 Před 8 měsíci

      Just something minor, all is well thanks. It does suck being a newer car. It was bound to happen unfortunately as the drivers here are what I call passive/aggressive for lack of a better term. It was more of a pain to work with the local traffic police. They didn't know how to deal with me being a foreigner. 3 hours later and we were on our way. @@Eric_Garrison

    The cost of land there must not be at a premium to facilitate so many chargers, but then again the charging spots appear to be quite narrow, or is that because the cars are wide? Just looks like one needs to be very careful opening doors getting in and out of the car parked in the bays. Very advanced compared to Australia, not heard or seen any Shell petrol stations with chargers.

    Setting standards? Considering China's electric power generation is 2.5x of the United State and 40% of that comes from renewable energy, this will be a pretty tough standard for other countries to meet.

    Impressive in terms of size! Once they charge for parking or take blocking fees - it might not be that crowded anymore...
    The first time i charged my ET5 in a Mall parking- just for the experience- it reached 90% and stopped, 15min later a bar went up that has to be unblocked before you leave with an annoying voice on the floor that talks constantly, haha...
    Just a question of time there i guess

      There are 2 PSS quite near to the airport already, I think they wouldn't need to charge at a place like this generally speaking unless for some reason they wanted to. Seems to almost exclusively be used by ride share drivers. I'm sure plenty of pick ups and drop offs at the airport.
