Nio offers battery swapping, so the idea is that you do your daily commute with a small 40-80kWh battery and only swap to a gigantic 150kWh battery if you do a road trip.

For other cars this kind of battery size makes not much sense, which is why the vast majority of electric cars sold in the world have a battery sizes between 40 and 80 kWh [1].
