Data show that Star charging was founded in 2014, certified by the international authority Sullivan, the company achieved “charging pile ten years cumulative shipments of the world’s first.” Xingxing Charging focuses on the research and development, manufacturing, operation and service of electric vehicle charging system and intelligent microgrid system. It is a performer of dual-carbon strategy and a typical representative enterprise of digital economy. Over the years, Xingxing has always implemented the strategic vision of “electrification of transportation and digitalization of energy”, leading the energy reform, and striving to continuously promote energy conservation and emission reduction through scientific and technological innovation. At present, Star Charging has become a leading unicorn enterprise in the valuation of Asia’s digital energy field, and a leader in China’s industrial manufacturing enterprises.
Founded in 1836, Schneider Electric has long focused on the two major fields of “future industry” and “green energy”, focusing on the two main axes of “innovation” and “ecology”, and continues to bring new concepts, new applications, new products and new services for digital and green low-carbon industry chain partners. Schneider Electric has advanced digital technology capabilities, is also a pioneer practitioner and enabler of sustainability, and is the world’s leading digital transformation expert in energy management and automation.
Star Charging said that it is the two sides in the green energy, digital economy and industrial upgrading and other aspects of the highly compatible concept of consensus, combined with their own rich practical experience and deep technical accumulation, laid a good opportunity for cooperation. This signing will further promote the deep integration of the two sides in terms of technology, market and resources, jointly lead the green road of sustainable development, and will help the cooperation between China and France in the field of digital new energy development to a new height.
