In 2022, the NEV parc in China was 13.1 million. China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) expects that China's NEV sales in 2023 will reach 9 million units with a year-on-year growth of 35%. As energy supply has long been the major concern of NEV consumers, accelerating the connectivity of charging service network can promote more efficient utilization of charging facilities, driving the rapid development of NEV industry.

Zeekr is a premium electric mobility brand owned by Geely Holding Group. In April 2023, Zeekr has delivered 8,101 vehicles, up 279% year-on-year, putting cumulative deliveries over the 100,000-unit mark.

NaaS is one of the biggest and fastest-growing EV charging service providers in China. As of Q1 2023, NaaS has connected 55,000 charging stations and 575,000 chargers with a charging volume of 1.023 billion kWh, representing 21% of the public charging volume in China. By March 31, Fleetin, the strategic partner of NaaS, had 9 million registered users, including 5 million transaction users. Heretofore, NaaS has realized connectivity with platforms of mainstream NEV companies, including Li Auto, Voyah, HiPhi, ARCFOX, Karry, AITO; provided on-board power supply services for IoV firms such as Ohways and Lion Tech; and entered into cooperation with Internet-based and sharing platform ecosystem partners, including Tencent Intelligent Mobility, Green Intelligent Link, etc.

“As the penetration rate of new energy vehicles continues to rise, charging infrastructure and supporting services shall not fall behind.
