Strategic cooperation│Built 100 swap stations! Draw the blueprint of \"New Infrastructure\"

Since the beginning of this year, the construction of charging and swapping infrastructure has ushered in unprecedented opportunities. The central government work report included charging and swapping into the scope of new infrastructure construction for the first time; the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly stated that it is necessary to encourage the construction of charging and swapping infrastructure and speed up the interconnection of charging and swapping facilities; the National Energy Administration recently announced that it will actively support Innovate the business model of charging and swapping, encourage the application of new technologies such as V2G, speed up the resolution of hot issues such as difficulty in charging and charging safety, and effectively improve the ability to guarantee charging and swapping.

On July 27, Beijing Automotive Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as \"BAIC Group\") and State Grid Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as \"State Grid Electric Vehicle Company\") signed a framework agreement on deepening strategic cooperation to jointly promote The new energy automobile industry has accelerated development. The two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation in the promotion of car power packs and vehicle sales business, battery energy pack business, power exchange business, green power trading and smart energy service business, and capital cooperation.

According to the agreement, BAIC New Energy, China Travel, and other companies under the BAIC Group will promote the State Grid's car and electric service package, and jointly create a \"car-pile electric ecological marketing model\" to provide customers with a green car experience. State Grid Electric Vehicle Company and BAIC New Energy will continue to carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of battery swapping, and strive to fully cooperate in the construction of 100 swap stations by the end of June 2021, serving no less than 10,000 swapping vehicles nationwide.

Specifically, BAIC Group's BAIC New Energy and Huaxia Travel will promote the State Grid's car and electric service packages, and carry out charging pile interconnection and operation cooperation with State Grid Electric Vehicle Company, community orderly charging pile business cooperation, and New technology cooperation including plug-and-charge, high-power charging and automatic charging will jointly create a \"car-pile-electric ecological marketing model\" to provide customers with a green car experience.

In the battery energy pack business, the two parties will cooperate in the field of battery operation to study battery purchase and lease, operation, echelon utilization, recycling and other links based on the business model of battery-swapping models and car-electric separation, and formulate battery life-cycle management and operation plans.

In the power swap business, the two parties will jointly build and operate swap grids and stations, and promote the \"three-station integration\" energy service station of power swap, charging, and energy storage to meet the demand for energy supply for new energy vehicles and participate in grid auxiliary services. , Flexible control of grid load, and empowerment of peak-to-valley value-added services for substation adjustment.

In the smart energy service business, the two parties jointly explored the inclusion of electric vehicle charging stations, community user charging piles, electric vehicle production bases and other loads into green power transactions, promoting the orderly charging of electric vehicles, the promotion and application of V2G technology, and realizing new energy vehicles. New energy electricity serves the orderly interaction between electric vehicles and the grid.

It is worth noting that on the day of the signing ceremony, the \"first swap station\"-Jinan No. 1 swap station, co-operated by State Grid Electric Vehicle Company and BAIC Blue Valley Smart Energy, was officially put into operation, marking the trial operation of this swap station This is the official start of the comprehensive cooperation in the field of battery swapping for new energy vehicles. This swap station has a daily power swap capacity of more than 300 times, and the swap time is faster than that of fuel vehicles. In addition, the swap station has advanced cloud battery management technology that can Realize remote upgrades and smart charging, which can not only meet the energy supply needs of new energy vehicles, but also participate in grid interaction and peak shaving response. It is expected that Jinan will build and operate 10 power exchange stations during the year, serving Jinan no less than 1,000 new energy vehicles .

At the same time, after 48 hours of construction of \"Qingdao No. 1 Power Station\", the main installation has been completed and the joint debugging work has officially started. As the first batch of cooperation cities between State Grid Electric Vehicles and BAIC Blue Valley Smart Energy, Qingdao Laixi will complete the construction and operation of 3 power swap stations and serve nearly 300 swap taxis in Laixi. With Laixi’s successful operation, it will accelerate its deployment in Qingdao The market for taxis and online car-hailing swaps is helping to upgrade the electrification of public transportation in Qingdao.
