A Fully-Charged EV Battery In Minutes: U Power And SAIC Motor-CP Team Up To Make It A Reality In Thailand

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin Benzinga The world may have no choice but to transition to electric vehicles (EVs), with or without the help of government incentives and regulations. The environment demands it, and that is a big reason why sales of EVs are estimated to grow by double-digits on average every year. By 2030, there are expected to be 40 million EVs traversing the roads and bridges around the world. However, to reach mass adoption and replace gas-guzzling, emissions-producing vehicles, some challenges need to be addressed – particularly when it comes to charging infrastructure. Concerns about range, battery life and availability of charging stations loom large in the decision-making process for consumers. Fears of getting stuck or waiting hours to charge up keep many consumers on the sidelines. Studies show consumers are still reluctant to purchase an EV, despite expressing interest in this type of vehicle. The current charging experience makes this reluctance understandable. Charging stations have been reported to experience lots of reliability issues from damaged and broken charging cords to network failures. Many consumers complain of unresponsive screens and slow charging speeds. Charging stations have been slow to roll out which can cause congestions at the available locations. None of this bodes well for a future in which EVs are ubiquitous. Swapping Instead Of Charging U Power Limited (NASDAQ: UCAR), the Chinese EV power solution company, is aiming to change this dynamic with its advanced UOTTA technology. This technology enables consumers and fleet operators to replace dead EV batteries with fully charged ones in under five minutes. That removes the time challenges, and with swapping stations eventually located throughout China, it eliminates the fear of running out of battery life. The company offers customers an entire battery-swapping ecosystem, from building the infrastructure to managing it. Its prowess in the industry was recently on display, entering into yet another partnership to further its technology in the marketplace – this time with SAIC Motor-CP, the Chinese auto manufacturer. U Power signed a cooperation agreement with SAIC Motor-CP to integrate its battery-swapping technology into MG brand vehicles in Thailand. Initially the partnership is focused on the taxi and ride-hailing markets in Thailand, with plans for future expansion. The two companies are combining U Power's UOTTA battery-swapping technology with SAIC Motor-CP's automotive expertise to address charging infrastructure challenges in Thailand's growing EV market. U Power will adapt its technology and develop a network of swapping stations, while SAIC Motor-CP will provide technical expertise and warranty support. Lots Of EVs To Charge It's a big deal for U Power, given the taxi and ride-sharing market in Thailand is big, with more than 300,000 vehicles providing rides to customers. Projections call for 50% of the vehicles to be electric within five years, which creates a potential market of 150,000 vehicles for U Power to serve. The company said that the rate of EVs on the roads supports a network of 500 to 750 battery-swapping stations across major urban centers. Then there’s Thailand’s EV3.5 policy, which was created to encourage EV development. It includes subsidies and the reduction of import and excise taxes on batteries. That policy is expected to boost annual EV adoption growth to between 30% and 40%, reports U Power. “This partnership represents a significant milestone in accelerating electric vehicle adoption in Thailand's commercial transportation sector," said Li Jia, Chairman and CEO of U Power. “ Our battery-swapping technology offers a practical solution to the charging challenges faced by high-utilization vehicles. In addition, this collaboration builds on strong existing relationships between our two companies, notably through Chatchaval Jiaravanon, U Power's second-largest shareholder and member of the Thai CP Group family, whose deep understanding of both organizations has helped facilitate this strategic alignment. We are eager to work together to drive innovation and build the foundation for Thailand's EV future.” Commercial Markets First Given the sheer size of the commercial market it’s not surprising that U Power and SAIC Motor-CP are focused on that area in the deal’s first iteration. It provides consistent revenue streams and faster ROI than the consumer market, reports U Power. To pull it off, U Power said its UOTTA technology has to be adapted for tropical climate conditions, a localized battery management system has to be developed and the charging stations need to be integrated with Thailand’s power grid infrastructure. If it works out, the companies said it could be a model for further expansion as they try to overhaul the charging battery market. “The ability to quickly swap batteries rather than wait for charging will be transformative for the taxi and ride-hailing sectors, where vehicle downtime directly impacts business performance,” added Feng Zhao, President of SAIC-Motor CP. “We are confident this collaboration will accelerate Thailand's transition to sustainable commercial transportation while establishing a model that can be replicated in other markets."

News Release

Groundwork BioAg and Sustainable Travel International Partner to Offer Carbon Dioxide Removal Credits for Tourism

Groundwork BioAg

Groundwork BioAg ®, the world’s largest producer of mycorrhizal inoculants, announced a new partnership with Sustainable Travel International, a global leader in sustainable tourism solutions, to offer travelers and businesses access to premium carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits, based on the application of mycorrhizal fungi in cropland. Mycorrhizal inoculants are applied in agricultural soils to improve crop yields, save fertilizer, reduce plant stress, and improve soil health – but at the same time, these microbial products act as a natural pathway to permanently sequester carbon. This partnership aligns with Sustainable Travel International’s mission to provide programs that help travelers, businesses and destinations protect the environment, preserve cultural heritage and promote economic development. Groundwork BioAg's Rootella Carbon™ program offers high-integrity, high-volume, durable carbon credits that are independently certified and approved, providing a reliable solution for organizations seeking to meet their net-zero pledges responsibly. "By adding Rootella Carbon to our Climate Impact Portfolio, we reaffirm our commitment to promote holistic environmental stewardship so our members can visit – and protect – the places they love,” said Paloma Zapata, CEO of Sustainable Travel International. “This innovative, nature-based solution aligns with our mission to help the travel industry address its carbon liability while directly improving soil health around the world.” Sustainable Travel International’s Climate Impact Portfolio includes a wide variety of projects in different locations that generate carbon credits as they reduce or remove emissions. The portfolio includes a mix of high-quality forestry, clean/efficient energy, blue/teal carbon, and innovative climate tech projects. The demand for high-quality carbon credits is growing rapidly, with two-thirds of the world's largest companies with net-zero targets using carbon offsets to help meet their climate goals. Rootella Carbon credits stand out among durable CDR credits as a scalable solution that not only sequesters carbon in the soil but also improves crop yields, reduces chemical fertilizer use, mitigates plant stress and supports regenerative agricultural practices. Dan Grotsky, co-founder and chief growth officer of Groundwork BioAg, said, "This collaboration not only validates the effectiveness of our Rootella Carbon program but also demonstrates the travel industry's commitment to sustainable practices. Together, we are paving the way for significant carbon sequestration by enabling travelers and rewarding farmers around the world – while contributing to a healthier planet." Rooted in Groundwork BioAg’s history of helping growers improve the productivity and profitability of their farms, this partnership now gives travelers the opportunity to directly support farmers for their land stewardship while reducing their own carbon footprint. Currently under validation within the Verra VM0042 v2.0 protocol, Rootella Carbon offers farmers the opportunity to earn up to 70% of net proceeds from carbon credit sales, making it an attractive option for growers looking to diversify their income streams. This innovative approach unlocks compensation for regenerative growers who would otherwise be ineligible for carbon credits, while incentivizing conventional farmers to adopt regenerative practices. For more information about Groundwork BioAg and the Rootella Carbon program, visit GroundworkBioAg.com. About Groundwork BioAg Groundwork BioAg, a leading bioagriculture company, produces cost-effective mycorrhizal inoculants at scale to tackle food insecurity and climate change. Groundwork BioAg’s nature-based carbon dioxide removal solution leverages mycorrhizae as carbon’s main pathway into the soil and is supercharging permanent carbon sequestration on millions of hectares of commercial and regenerative farms globally. We envision the world’s cropland regenerating with mycorrhizae and every farmer benefiting from higher yields, healthier soils, fertilizer reduction, and verifiable, premium carbon credit revenue – without altering cultivation practices. Nature’s most potent carbon removal solution is now in every farmer’s hands. For more information, visit groundworkbioag.com or groundworkbioag.com/rootella-carbon.
