The Chinese giant behind Volvo, Polestar and Lotus will join forces with NIO on battery tech<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Geely Holding, the parent company of Volvo, Polestar and Lotus, has signed a technical agreement with electric car company NIO to align battery standards and share innovative battery-swapping functionality between the two companies for future products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This wide-ranging agreement covers a variety of elements, including a standardisation of cell technology within the battery packs, battery swapping technology, network expansion and battery asset management.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NIO might be about to enter the UK market, but it\u2019s already made waves in Europe by offering battery swapping tech as a feature in its models. The technology, which allows a depleted battery to be automatically swapped for a fully charged one in minutes, can potentially go a long way to alleviating range anxiety on long journeys.<\/p>\n
