The dawn of a new era in China is marked by the juxtaposition of its rapid modernization and the embrace of technologies that reflect the nation’s dynamic aspirationsAs we step into a fresh year, the country stands on the brink of revolutionary changes in various sectors, particularly in the automotive industryThe emergence of domestic animated films that rival Hollywood productions, the surge of electric vehicles during peak travel seasons, and the global success of tech innovations like DeepSeek are just glimpses into the vast possibilities that lie aheadIn this atmosphere, the integration of advanced technology within daily life not only encapsulates the spirit of the times but also outlines a clear trajectory for economic growth as the future unfolds—a future that promises to be as “cool” as it is innovative.

As the interest in electric vehicles (EVs) grows—especially observable during China's extensive transportation peak known as the Spring Festival—charging infrastructure gains unprecedented attention. "Hang Life," a prominent IoT e-commerce service platform, has made significant strides by launching a new travel-related brand called "Jin Lai Dian." This initiative has recently been followed by an announcement that the company plans to introduce two new products in April: a 7kW single-gun AC charging pile and a 14kW dual-gun AC charging pileThis development reflects a long-term confidence in the electric vehicle market and showcases the company’s technological innovation capabilities.

The immediate environment surrounding the electric vehicle market paints a portrait of explosive growthFor over a decade, China has maintained its position as the leading market for electric vehicles globallyIn fact, the automotive sector in China is undergoing a transformation fueled by factors such as favorable policies, an abundance of supply, price reductions, and ongoing improvements in infrastructureRecent statistics show that in 2024, the production and sales of electric vehicles in China reached approximately 12.88 million units and 12.87 million units, respectively, marking an increase of 34.4% and 35.5% compared to the previous year.

This burgeoning trend was visibly illustrated during the 2025 Spring Festival, where the daily flow of new energy vehicles on national expressways surged by 60% compared to the previous year

Industry analysts attribute this rising interest in electric vehicles to the continuous promotion of carbon reduction strategies alongside the increasing market penetration of electric vehiclesConsequently, the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure ensures a seamless travel experience for EV ownersAccording to data from the National Energy Administration, the number of charging piles at highway service areas across the nation has reached 35,000, achieving a coverage rate of 98%. Throughout 2024, the growth in charging infrastructure is projected to reach 4.22 million units, equivalent to roughly 11,500 new charging outlets established each day.

The magnetic pull of this broad market opportunity has attracted many new entrantsRecently, GAC Energy unveiled its "Double Ten Thousand Pile Plan" aimed at establishing a substantial presence in the charging equipment market by 2025, while also unveiling a “triple growth” strategy to secure a top-tier position in the industry by 2027, with equipment sales targets exceeding 1 million units in the next three yearsFurthermore, platform players like Hello Chuxing have also indicated their intention to venture into the charging pile market by the end of 2024.

Backed by its innovative capabilities in the IoT domain, Hang Life is keenly optimistic about the role of IoT technologies in the nation’s future socioeconomic landscapeTheir strategy entails the synthesis of “IoT + Internet + Digital Finance” to cultivate new opportunities in emerging fields, including smart vending systems and charging infrastructureOver the past months, they have successfully released an impressive array of charging products, including various configurations tailored for electric vehicles, further enhancing the overall charging experience for consumers.

Among the noteworthy developments within Hang Life is the upcoming launch of Jin Lai Dian, which will signify a monumental entry into the electric charging sector, aligning with recent governmental subsidies aimed at promoting the renewal of older electric vehicles

Under these policies, the average subsidy for replacing city buses and power batteries is being increased from 60,000 to 80,000 yuan per vehicle.

With renewed governmental incentives and ongoing technological advancements, it is clear that the electric vehicle market and the associated charging infrastructure are poised for a golden opportunity in the near futureTherefore, the launch of Hang Life's 7kW and 14kW charging piles in April stands not only as a testament to recognizing this strategic timing but also as a vital step toward establishing a smarter energy ecosystem that exploits their inherent advantages.

A representative from Hang Life articulated the company's commitment to creating a premier comprehensive digital lifestyle service platform tailored for local consumers in ChinaBy employing smart terminals as service entry points alongside mobile applications, they intend to collaborate with quality partners to mold a curated platform that integrates diverse smart hardware products and merchant offerings—ultimately aimed at enhancing consumer experiences for millions of users.

Functioning as an essential facet of Hang Life's ambitions, "Jin Lai Dian" is laser-focused on supplying management solutions for new energy systemsIts mission is to evolve into the leading SaaS provider of charging IoT solutions and the PaaS platform for charging stations in ChinaThe introduction of these two intelligent charging products not only marks a pivotal entry into the four-wheeled charging segment but also meets user needs for increased charging speed, safety, and convenience—setting a new benchmark within the industry.

While both two-wheel and four-wheel charging piles share a core philosophy of “green energy replenishment,” their market positioning and operational modalities visibly differThe 7kW AC single-gun charging pile is designed primarily for household users and small commercial spaces, catering to low-power electric vehicles and those with daily charging needs that do not require high efficiency
