The Suzhou Supercharger has four superchargers with a maximum output of 250A and a maximum power of 105 kW per hour. It costs 1.2 RMB/kWh and is open 24 hours a day.
For the 70kWh version of the ES8 and ES6, it takes only about 30 minutes to charge 60%. Owners can operate and view it through the NIO app.
Starting from the third quarter of last year, NIO Superchargers have started to be built in cities across the country, complementing the NIO Power system.
