Beijing, April 25, 2026 — ZD Energy successfully hosted its 2026 Partner Conference and Innovation Ecosystem Launch Event in Beijing, convening partners from Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other key global markets. Under the theme of “Shared Vision, Boundless Connection,” the event highlighted the rapid transformation of energy infrastructure toward a more intelligent, connected, and seamlessly integrated future.
During the conference, ZD Energy unveiled its latest ecosystem architecture, built on the integration of intelligent hardware, digital platforms, and ecosystem services. This three-layered framework reflects the company’s long-term vision to transform traditional charging infrastructure into a unified system that frictionlessly connects users, vehicles, and energy at scale. By integrating physical products with data intelligence and service capabilities, ZD Energy is redefining energy from a background utility into a more visible, responsive, and user-centric experience.
Home Charging, Realised: Energy on Arrival
As autonomous driving enables vehicles to return home independently, intelligent energy replenishment becomes the final link in completing the mobility loop. With rapid advances in computing power and the accelerating adoption of intelligent systems, expectations for electric vehicles are shifting beyond range toward a fully integrated, end-to-end experience. Anticipating this shift, ZD Energy is redefining residential charging by establishing seamless, automated energy replenishment as the new standard for home mobility.
The Explorer Robot is a direct realisation of this vision. Purpose-built for residential environments, it combines a compact form factor with the flexibility to adapt across a wide range of parking and installation scenarios. Its industrial design reflects a clear technological intent, balancing precision, simplicity, and presence within the home. An intelligent feature set enables remote activation and scheduled charging, supporting diverse daily use cases. Powered by continuously evolving visual algorithms and a self-developed robotic arm, the system is engineered for compatibility with mainstream vehicle models, with a roadmap to support the majority of smart EVs on the market.
Built on over a decade of charging hardware and platform development, and underpinned by expertise in computer vision and robotics, the Explorer Robot delivers a new standard for residential charging. The result is a seamless, intuitive experience that integrates effortlessly into daily life. An invisible upgrade, by design.
Proprietary Unmanned Charging Solution for the Robotaxi Era
In response to the accelerating commercialization of autonomous driving, ZD Energy has developed an unmanned public charging solution purpose-built for autonomous operation scenarios, including robotaxis, ports, and airports. The system enables a fully digitalized operational loop, covering vehicle entry, path planning, order dispatch, and site management, forming a robust energy infrastructure layer for next-generation intelligent mobility.
At its core, the solution applies digital capabilities to reshape the energy replenishment process, aligning charging cycles with the operational rhythms of autonomous fleets. This integration enhances system efficiency and asset utilization. A flexible “Central Hub + Satellite Station” deployment model, combined with AI-driven scheduling, remote operations and maintenance, and broad compatibility across vehicle brands and models, establishes a scalable and economically viable energy backbone for large-scale autonomous mobility.
Looking ahead, ZD Energy outlined its strategic vision to partner with a global ecosystem to deploy 10,000 unmanned public charging stations by 2030, supporting one million autonomous vehicles worldwide. Through an open and collaborative approach, the company is committed to building a leading global unmanned charging network and delivering the infrastructure required to enable autonomous mobility at scale.
Nexus Flagship AC Charger: Designed for Every Form, Ready for Every Scenario, Connected Worldwide
At the conference, ZD Energy also unveiled its flagship AC charger, Nexus. Designed for residential, commercial, and public applications worldwide, Nexus combines a flexible multi-form design with full-scenario adaptability and high scalability, extending the reach of intelligent charging connectivity. It is positioned as a central node and primary access point within the evolving global energy ecosystem.
Nexus transforms charging from a standalone function into an intelligent energy hub. By connecting vehicles, users, and the grid in real time, it enables dynamic load management to balance and optimize power distribution. Continuous data intelligence refines every charging session, driving more efficient and adaptive energy use.
Through combining flexibility, intelligence, and global adaptability, Nexus is set to become a critical hub within the new energy ecosystem, empowering partners worldwide to scale their operations and unlock new growth opportunities.
Strategic Evolution: From “Made in China” to “Built with the World”
In his keynote address, Dr Huang, Chairman of ZD Energy, reviewed the company’s three-stage development journey. He began with ZD Energy’s early focus on residential charging, which enabled the company to establish a leading global shipment position in the home charging segment. This was followed by an early phase of global expansion, during which ZD Energy built localized service networks and advanced localized manufacturing capabilities across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. The third stage has been defined by intelligent transformation, marked by sustained investment in autonomous charging robots that have now been deployed in multiple countries worldwide.
Since its October 2025 listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ZD Energy has leveraged capital markets as a new growth engine to enhance its capabilities across R&D, product innovation, service operations, smart manufacturing, and brand development. The company’s global expansion has delivered strong results; overseas revenue accounted for 17.1% of total revenue in 2025. During the same period, more than 100,000 charging units were exported, with localized production and operations successfully established in markets from Thailand to Brazil. The charging robot business also recorded a year-on-year revenue increase of 88.83%, underscoring the accelerating momentum of ZD Energy’s intelligent product portfolio. Together, these milestones demonstrate that ZD Energy’s globalization strategy is entering a new phase of tangible returns and sustained growth.
Looking ahead, ZD Energy will continue to advance its integrated “product + platform + service” architecture as a core foundation for growth. From seamless home charging experiences to unmanned urban operations, and from AC charging hardware to integrated global energy solutions, the company is driving a fundamental industry shift from standalone device competition toward intelligent ecosystem collaboration.
With a long-term vision centered on openness and co-creation, ZD Energy is working closely with global partners to reshape the future of smart mobility and sustainable energy. Through the continued development of its annual ecosystem partner conference and global collaboration network, the company is dedicated of actualizing its vision of “Boundless Connectivity“, contributing to a more intelligent, interconnected, and sustainable future for global green mobility.
