BEIJING, Sept. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 22, NaaS (NASDAQ: NAAS) established a
strategic partnership with Hubei Provincial Communications
Investment Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (CIID). NaaS will fully
leverage its capability in one-stop construction and operation of
public charging infrastructure, integrated PV-storage-charging
service and digital and intelligent application of new energy. By
combining its services with CIID's expressway network and energy
supply stations, NaaS contributes to the construction of expressway
service areas and energy supply infrastructure, thus accelerating
the establishment of a comprehensive energy supply network for
expressways.
At the signing ceremony, CIID officially released the new brand
named "Chu Dao Yi Neng" , which will
carry the new energy business sector of CIID, working
collaboratively with partners to empower the construction of
Hubei expressways charging
infrastructure system.
According to the contract, NaaS will provide services for gas
stations and charging stations under CIID's 48 expressway service
areas. This include connected refueling and charging services as
well as mobile charging device deployment and operation services
during public holidays.
Such services will cover Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway,
Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, Hangzhou-Ruili Expressway,
Fuzhou-Yinchuan Expressway, Macheng-Yangxin Expressway,
Zaoyang-Shishou Expressway, Shashi-Gong'an Expressway and other
national expressways and provincial arterial highways. In the
future, NaaS will also join hands with CIID to build comprehensive
energy supply station integrating oil, natural gas and hydrogen
refueling, charging and battery swapping, and promote integrated
source-grid-load-storage and PV-storage-charging-swapping projects
to meet various energy supply needs for long-distance traveling and
contribute to the upgrade of public services in expressway service
areas.
According to NewLink Research Institute, it is estimated that in
2025, the share of EVs in China
will reach 15%. Based on the current national average daily traffic
of 26 million vehicles on expressways and 50 million vehicles on
holidays, 100,000 fixed charging piles and mobile charging devices
will be needed on a daily basis. Totally 190,000 fixed charging
piles and mobile charging devices will be needed on holidays. There
will be a 10-fold growth space compared with the current total
number of charging piles in expressway service area.
