NaaS Technology, a US-listed electric vehicle (EV) charging service provider in China, has announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi Auto, a subsidiary of Xiaomi Group.
The collaboration aims to improve charging network integration and enhance user experience for Xiaomi EV owners by providing seamless, efficient charging solutions through NaaS’s nationwide network.
As part of the partnership, Xiaomi Auto users can access NaaS’s charging infrastructure directly through the Xiaomi Auto App and in-vehicle navigation system. This integration is designed to improve charging efficiency and accessibility as China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) market continues to expand.
China’s NEV sector has seen rapid growth, with total production and sales surpassing 12 million units in 2024, bringing the number of NEVs on the road to 31.4 million. Since late 2023, EVs have accounted for over 50% of new car sales, increasing the demand for reliable, widely available charging services.
NaaS Technology is focused on optimizing EV charging infrastructure through AI-driven solutions, supporting demand-supply matching, station efficiency, and operational cost management. The company has established partnerships with leading automakers and integrated its platform with mapping services, connected vehicle platforms, and mobility services to expand charging accessibility.
The partnership aligns with Xiaomi Auto’s smart mobility strategy, allowing its users to benefit from an expansive charging network and AI-powered efficiency tools. As of Q3 2024, NaaS has connected nearly 100,000 charging stations and 1.15 million chargers, supporting over 13 million transaction users.
By integrating digital intelligence and emerging technologies, the collaboration aims to support the continued adoption of electric mobility while improving charging convenience for drivers across China.
