Financial information app, Zhitong Caijing, learned on July 1 that NaaS (NAAS.US) has announced a partnership with high-end smart car robot brand JiYue, sharing a nationwide direct current charging service network to provide car owners with the ultimate "charge anywhere" experience. Based on the charging scenario, both parties can achieve comprehensive cooperation such as interconnection of charging piles, plug-and-charge, and one-click payment. This not only brings convenient, efficient, and intelligent charging experience to JiYue owners, but also helps promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.

NaaS and its strategic partner Kuaidian together provide JiYue with high-quality charging piles including fast charging and super charging stations across the country. Both parties will leverage their respective advantages in technology, platform, brands, and resources to promote interconnection cooperation of charging platforms and charging station operation and maintenance services. JiYue car owners can quickly find nearby charging stations and piles through the JiYue App, mini program, and Kuaidian App, including real-time location, pricing, equipment charging status, and parking fee information. With just a simple scan of the QR code, they can enjoy the "one-click find pile, one-click charge, and one-click payment" service, significantly improving the efficiency of finding piles.

New energy vehicle owners are particularly concerned about the convenience of charging and power supplementing, which is also an important factor that users consider when purchasing new energy vehicles. This cooperation with JiYue enables NaaS's charging network, which covers all scenes across the country, to further expand the coverage of the charging network, especially improving the experience of charging and power supplementing in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other cities and expressways, forming a fully covered, multi-format charging service ecosystem, and taking the new energy vehicle owner's charging experience to a new level.

According to the latest data from China Passenger Car Association, the retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China reached 47% in May this year, accounting for almost half of the users who chose to buy new energy vehicles. In terms of policies, the state has continued to encourage cities to relax vehicle purchase restrictions and steadily promote the commercialization of autonomous driving to create new advanced intelligent driving scenarios. JiYue is a high-end smart car robot brand jointly created by Baidu and Geely Holding Group, which has created a new breed of intelligent car robots leading the intelligence field with advanced intelligent driving, intelligent cabin products, and innovative digital services, creating a benchmark intelligent technology travel experience for users.

As a global new energy asset service provider, NaaS provides one-stop services for charging pile manufacturers, charging operators, and host factories along the entire industry chain, including site selection consultation, software and hardware procurement, EPC engineering, operation and maintenance, energy storage, photovoltaics, etc., making the charging experience of electric vehicle owners better and the operation of the industry chain more efficient. As of December 31, 2023, NaaS has cumulatively connected 876,000 charging guns, covering 77,000 charging stations, and its charging volume accounts for 20.4% of China's public charging volume.

Relying on digitalization technology, NaaS and its strategic partner Kuaidian have continuously optimized the supply and demand matching efficiency of the domestic charging service network and continuously expanded the charging service cooperation "circle of friends." Since 2023, new cooperative host factories including Geely, Hyundai, jike, WENJIE, Great Wall, GAC New Energy, and Deep Blue Auto were added, coupled with earlier access to "Yuexiaoli," Jihu, Lantu, etc., covering domestic mainstream new energy host factories.

In addition, NaaS has also cooperated with car networking companies such as Mandelectric for Tencent Smart Travel and Green Smart Connection to provide services for Internet and sharing platform ecological partners.
