Arcfox, the premium battery electric vehicle (BEV) brand of the Chinese state-owned automaker BAIC Group, announced it has signed an agreement with Nio Power to integrate their charging networks in China.
The decision to join Chinese BEV manufacturer Nio Inc’s fast-charging network will allow Arcfox to offer its customers access to a much broader, user-friendly charging service across the country.
The deal will allow the Arcfox charging platform to be fully connected with that of Nio Power, which has EV charging networks in 19 major cities and 18 major highways across China, giving Arcfox customers access to a combined network of 9,000 ultra-fast charging piles and 5,400 destination charging piles.
Nio also collaborates with China’s leading battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology Company Limited (CATL) in the design of EV batteries and has an expanding network of battery swapping stations, with partners including Geely Auto and Changan Automobile.
Arcfox sold a total of 81,000 BEVs last year, while Nio sold over 201,000 units.
