U Power aims to expand its service model beyond Shanxi following a successful test period. Target provinces include Shandong, Anhui, and additional areas within Shanxi. The company’s technology utilizes standardized battery packs to allow compatibility across varied EV types. This means diverse two- and four-wheeled models can use the same stations.
