BEIJING, April 2,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, NaaS Technology
(NASDAQ: NAAS), the first U.S. listed EV charging service company
in China, announced its
partnership with Beijing Car Network New Energy Co., Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as "CNNE"), a digital charging and
battery-swapping service provider. The collaboration aims to
enhance the connectivity, customer flow, and business expansion of
public EV charging piles, thereby improving the charging service
coverage and offering high-quality charging solutions to EV owners
in Beijing.
Under the agreement, NaaS will leverage its digital capabilities
to integrate its nationwide charging network with CNNE's charging
stations. The plan is to connect over 20 charging stations with
more than 1,000 chargers, through a combination of connectivity and
direct connection models. Through NaaS' strategic partnership with
KuaiDian App, users will gain access to information such as
pricing, location, and availability of charging stations. The app
will also offer convenient features like one-click charging and
online payment options. In the future, both parties will explore
further cooperation in non-electric services and other related
fields.
By 2023, China's total EV count
reached 20.41 million. Beijing
holds the third-largest number of EVs in China, following Shanghai and Shenzhen. According to the latest data
released by the Beijing Municipal Commerce Bureau, following
Beijing's EV subsidy policy in
2023, EV consumption surpassed RMB 6
billion (USD 830 million),
marking a 43.8% increase year-on-year. To accommodate the growing
EV population, Beijing is rapidly
enhancing its infrastructure with necessary facilities like gas
stations and charging stations. Currently, the city is home to over
800,000 EVs.
Given this backdrop, the expansion of public charging
infrastructure in Beijing presents
significant potential. According to the Chinese Electric Charging
Infrastructure Promotion Alliance (EVCIPA), as of the end of 2023,
Beijing had 8,400 public charging
stations and 129,000 public charging piles (with an EV to pile
ratio of 6.82:1). According to the People's Government of Beijing
Municipality, by 2025, the cumulative number of EVs in Beijing will hit the 2 million mark. The
partnership is poised to enhance charging services and bolster the
swift growth of EVs through improved charging infrastructure
systems.

provider, mainly engages in new energy technology R&D, electric
