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 aspirations. As we step into a fresh year, the country stands on the brink of revolutionary changes in various sectors, particularly in the automotive industry. The 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 ahead. In 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 pile. This 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 growth. For over a decade, China has maintained its position as the leading market for electric vehicles globally. In 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 infrastructure. Recent 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 vehicles. Consequently, the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure ensures a seamless travel experience for EV owners. According 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 entrants. Recently, 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 years. Furthermore, 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 landscape. Their strategy entails the synthesis of “IoT + Internet + Digital Finance” to cultivate new opportunities in emerging fields, including smart vending systems and charging infrastructure. Over 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 future. Therefore, 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 China. By 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 systems. Its mission is to evolve into the leading SaaS provider of charging IoT solutions and the PaaS platform for charging stations in China. The 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 differ. The 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. Thus, it emphasizes cost-effectiveness and minimal strain on the power grid. In contrast, the 14kW AC dual-gun charging pile caters to higher-demand settings, such as commercial or public venues, offering superior operational efficiency.

Despite battling fierce competition in the market, representatives from Hang Life remain confident in the anticipated success of these innovative charging products. They are poised to deliver on their promise of high-quality solutions at accessible price points. The new products promise significant safety features and reliability enhancements, including the use of oxygen-free copper for the charging cables, high-standard IP65 protection against water and dust, and multiple layers of safety measures to ensure user protection during charging operations.

As the company gears up for its launch, it is set to accelerate its investments in the IoT sector, driving onward past critical technological barriers while simultaneously advancing the evolution of charging piles. Hang Life is eager to forge collaborative partnerships with upstream and downstream players in the supply chain to nurture a multi-layer intelligent charging network that can better serve users with secure, convenient charging solutions—thereby making a lasting contribution to society's quest for sustainable green travel and development.
