China does have some car brands that support battery swapping, with NIO being a notable example that markets this feature. However, their market share isn’t particularly high. It can be said that battery swapping is a common practice in China, but it isn’t the primary method for electric vehicle energy replenishment. Incidentally, NIO vehicles don’t support particularly high charging speeds. High-speed charging can impact battery lifespan, so manufacturers like NIO also prefer to avoid promoting fast charging from their perspective.

I wasn't referring to battery swapping, but I can see how my post could be interpreted that way so I've edited it.
