, Shanghai-based Nio said that it has obtained two certificates from TÜV Rheinland for its power swap stations and charging equipment, giving it the ability to build battery swap stations and superchargers in all EU countries.

The announcement comes as Nio is doubling down on efforts to expand its charging network domestically amid robust growth in vehicle sales. The lack of battery charging infrastructure is considered one of the major factors limiting the electric-car market’s expansion.

The statement also revealed that Nio has started shipping its first battery swap stations and superchargers to Norway, its first overseas market, with plans to put its home charging piles and supercharging piles into use in September.

In May, CEO William Li said the company will start delivering the latest version of its ES8 electric SUV to the Nordic nation in September.

Nio’s rival Xpeng also sees Norway as the starting point for its expansion into Europe. In December, the Guangzhou-based startup began handing over the first 100 G3 electric SUVs to customers from 28 Norwegian cities and towns, some of which are located above the Arctic Circle.

I guess that's the only way Chinese EV tech will enter EU. Because actually selling EVs in Europe doesn't seem like it's gonna happen, with politics and tariffs in the way. Otherwise there'd already be a bunch of Chinese EVs being on offer in EU.

They need to enter the German market as well, as VW and BMW are already selling EVs in China.
