Overview
NIO built its reputation on battery swapping, and that shapes what people expect of the cars. In Britain the swap network does not exist, so however the brand is marketed elsewhere, a NIO here is charged like any other electric car: plugged in, through a Type 2 socket.
That makes the cable more important on a NIO than the marketing would suggest, not less. The 32amp single-phase lead is the everyday one, and it is worth owning a good length rather than relying on whatever came with the car.
Every cable is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated and carries a two-year warranty.

Features
-
Battery swapping is not a UK option
The swap network does not exist here, so a NIO is charged by plugging it in like any other EV.
-
Matched to the NIO charge port
NIO cars sold in Europe use a Type 2 socket, and every cable here ends in the matching connector.
-
The cable matters more, not less
With no swap stations, the lead is how the car gets its energy. Buy a good length rather than relying on what came with it.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
