NaaS Technology Inc. Teams With Li Auto to Provide New Smart Charging Services

NaaS Technology Inc. and Li Auto Inc. reached an agreement whereby both parties will utilize their respective capabilities to launch a new smart charging navigation system, enabling EV owners to more easily find chargers and recharge their EVs.

The service is scheduled to become available in the third quarter of this year.

"Being digital and intelligent makes it possible to quickly improve the charging experience for EV drivers," says Liang Xing, Vice President of Operations, NaaS. "NaaS empowers its partners with strong digital capabilities and a comprehensive network, in order to build the charging service ecosystem of the future, and allowing the entire industry value chain to run more efficiently, while creating a more convenient and better EV charging experience for drivers."

Under the agreement, NaaS will connect its nationwide digital charging network to Li Auto's charging navigation system, enabling L9 drivers to use in-vehicle maps or the Li Auto APP to locate partner charging stations.

Energy delivery is now one of the most pressing issues for EV drivers, and the cooperation provides an excellent complement to Li Auto's energy supply services.

As China's EV market continues on its accelerated growth path, Li Auto has evolved into one of the leading domestic carmakers with a focus on technical innovation.
