Detailed SWOT Analysis of NIO Inc.
Strength
1. Witnessed phenomenal success for its battery swapping technology: Nio’s battery swapping technology has seen a tremendous success and is a strength that the company is using for growth. The technology has become a major competitive advantage. However, Nio was not the first to introduce this technology; Better Place and Tesla had come up with this technology earlier, but both of them failed to make best use of the technology’s potential. Nio succeeded with the right strategy, whose core is based on Nio’s chargeable, swappable, and upgradable smart power service system. The company created a power grid for battery swap stations so that users need not travel long distances for battery swapping. This grid offered a combination of multiple power charging solutions to enhance user experience. Hence, with technology and enough infrastructures, Nio was able to succeed where its rival Tesla could not. In October 2020, the company crossed the milestone of swapping 1 million batteries, which is a testament to its success.
2. Strong focus on R&D: Nio focuses on innovation to stay ahead in the fast evolving EV market. It has filed for over 3000 patent applications, related to communication systems, safety features, lighting, HVAC system, distribution, and electric power conversion. This gives Nio a patent licensing opportunity, resulting in an innovator status and revenues. The company strives to bring technologically advanced premium EVs to the market with the support of three research centers in China and one each in the US, Germany, and the UK. Maximum patents were filed in China, followed by Europe, USA and Taiwan.
