De Chinese fabrikant van elektrische auto\u2019s NIO heeft zijn 22e batterijwisselstation in Duitsland geopend, waarmee het Europese netwerk nu uit 61 stations bestaat. Maar achter de belofte van een volledig opgeladen batterij in slechts drie minuten schuilt een ongemakkelijke realiteit: te weinig compatibele auto\u2019s, beperkt gebruik van dure infrastructuur en weinig tekenen van verdere uitbreiding. Belgi\u00eb illustreert dit dilemma bijzonder goed.<\/p>\n

Het nieuwe Power Swap Station is op 26 oktober geopend in Staufenberg-Lutterberg, langs de Duitse snelweg A7. Duitsland telt nu 22 stations, Noorwegen 20, Nederland tien, Zweden acht en Belgi\u00eb slechts \u00e9\u00e9n. Dat staat ver af van de oorspronkelijke ambitie van NIO om tegen 2025 1.000 swapstations buiten China te installeren.<\/p>\n

Amper vijf swaps per dag in Europa, tegenover 27 in China<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hoe vaak worden deze stations eigenlijk gebruikt? NIO bereikte in juni 2026 een totaal van 300.000 batterijwissels in Europa, een stijging ten opzichte van 250.000 in januari. Dat komt neer op ongeveer 330 wissels per dag in heel Europa, ofwel slechts 5,5 per station.<\/p>\n

In China ziet het er heel anders uit. Het netwerk van NIO, dat uit meer dan 4.100 stations bestaat, verwerkt op een normale dag ongeveer 100.000 tot 110.000 batterijwissels, wat neerkomt op gemiddeld 25 tot 27 per station.<\/p>\n

Tijdens de Nationale Feestdag in oktober bereikte het dagelijkse aantal ruiltransacties een recordhoogte van 183.664, ofwel 44 per station. Het drukste station verwerkte 211 ruiltransacties op \u00e9\u00e9n dag.<\/p>\n

Chinese stations worden daarom ongeveer vijf keer zo vaak gebruikt als hun Europese tegenhangers, hoewel het Europese cijfer op oudere gegevens is gebaseerd.<\/p>\n

Zelfs het gemiddelde in China blijft onder de gerapporteerde break-even-drempel van 60 tot 70 dagelijkse swaps per station, wat aantoont dat de technologie economisch gezien een uitdaging vormt.<\/p>\n

De verkoop in Europa blijft marginaal<\/h4>\n

Het aantal potenti\u00eble gebruikers blijft opvallend klein. Op zeven Europese markten registreerde de NIO Group in 2025 slechts 1.321 voertuigen, inclusief het kleinere Firefly-elektrische model.<\/p>\n

In de eerste negen maanden van 2026 bleef Noorwegen de sterkste gevestigde markt, met 295 registraties, hoewel slechts 165 daarvan premium NIO\u2019s waren. In Duitsland werden slechts 20 auto\u2019s geregistreerd, een daling van 90,5% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar, ondanks het feit dat er 22 batterijwisselstations zijn.<\/p>\n

Portugal noteerde 171 registraties, wat wijst op groei in nieuwere distributiemarkten. In de acht Europese landen waarover cijfers beschikbaar zijn, registreerde de NIO Group in september 238 voertuigen, bijna 50% meer dan een jaar eerder. Een groot deel van die stijging was echter toe te schrijven aan Firefly, dat geen gebruik kan maken van het bestaande Europese batterijwisselnetwerk.<\/p>\n

Belgi\u00eb: \u00e9\u00e9n station, weinig auto\u2019s<\/h4>\n

Het enige batterijwisselstation van Belgi\u00eb werd in december 2024 geopend in Edegem, vlakbij Antwerpen, en richt zich vooral op Nederlandse NIO-bestuurders die naar het zuiden reizen. Bijna twee jaar later is er nog geen tweede Belgische locatie aangekondigd.<\/p>\n

Het aantal registraties van de Belgische NIO Group steeg van 45 in 2025 naar 131 in de eerste negen maanden van 2026. Deze cijfers omvatten echter ook Firefly, en een uitsplitsing tussen de twee merken is nog steeds niet beschikbaar.<\/p>\n

In Nederland is het beeld nog duidelijker. Volgens gegevens van de RDW werden er in oktober 993 voertuigen van de NIO Group in het land geregistreerd, waaronder 839 premium NIO\u2019s en 154 Fireflies.<\/p>\n

Van de 94 nieuw geregistreerde voertuigen in de eerste negen maanden van 2026 waren er slechts 11 premium NIO\u2019s. De overige 83 waren Fireflies. Met andere woorden: de recente verkoopcijfers van de groep in Nederland zorgen nauwelijks voor een uitbreiding van het potenti\u00eble klantenbestand voor de tien batterijwisselstations.<\/p>\n

Een kip-en-ei-probleem<\/h4>\n

NIO heeft Hedin Mobility Group in 2025 aangesteld als zijn Belgische distributeur, maar er zijn nog geen verdere Belgische laadstations bevestigd. Een mogelijke samenwerking met Geely zou op termijn meer compatibele voertuigen in het ecosysteem kunnen brengen, hoewel concrete Europese plannen nog ontbreken.<\/p>\n

Ondertussen roept de verbetering van de conventionele snellaadtechnologie nieuwe vragen op over de economische haalbaarheid van het wisselen van accu\u2019s.<\/p>\n

NIO kampt met een klassiek kip-en-ei-probleem: zonder meer compatibele auto\u2019s is het moeilijk om de aanleg van extra wisselstations te rechtvaardigen. Maar zonder een dichter netwerk wordt het even moeilijk om nieuwe premiumklanten voor NIO aan te trekken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
