This collaboration aims to enhance charging interconnectivity, improve user experiences, and advance intelligent mobility solutions. By merging NaaS’s extensive charging network with Xiaomi Auto’s innovative platform, the partnership promises seamless and efficient charging for Xiaomi EV owners across China, supporting the nation’s booming New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market.
Key Highlights

- Xiaomi’s Success: Xiaomi Auto has delivered over 135,000 vehicles since its 2024 launch, exceeding expectations.
This alliance comes as China’s NEV market surges, with production and sales topping 12 million units in 2024. The rapid shift to EVs has intensified the need for reliable charging infrastructure, making partnerships like this critical. NaaS’s AI-driven tools, including its NaaS Energy Fintech (NEF) system, optimize charging efficiency and station profitability, while Xiaomi Auto’s integration enhances accessibility for its growing user base.
