These new energy management solutions will be part of an integrated network access that includes large industrial and commercial compounds, as well as other areas of vehicle concentration throughout China and the ASEAN region. The partnership's directive is to develop technology with vastly improved efficiency and access as part of the shift away from fossil fuel powered vehicles, while developing more convenient fuel charging areas in addition to utilizing the extensive network infrastructure of fuel stations such that these assets are redeveloped over time and not simply abandoned.

"This is a natural progression for our activities in the space. In recent months we have expanded our offering focusing from group purchase sales bringing significant discount to the commercial vehicle buyer to full value chain financing services ranging from supply chain finance, to lease financing, to ABS.

"We are excited to work with world-class partners who bring significant expertise and resources to help our NECV division aims to expand its NECV model from S2F (sales to financing), to S2F2C (Sales to Financing to Charging networks) in order to develop the ubiquitous access to energy the rapidly-growing EV automotive market requires. The fast charging technology that NECV is working with aims at cutting charging time from the current charge of 30 minutes to between 5-10 minutes."
Ideanomics, through its NECV division, will provide client acquisition, strategic sales and marketing services, as well as other advisory services.
Tianda Energy (Shenzhen) will provide operational teams and technical resources for cold storage technology, and the resources for the external connections such as attachment and conduit technologies, as well as other channel resources.
