In 2020, reborn after the pandemic, the much-watched construction of new infrastructure was written into the Government Work Report for the first time, and a trillion-yuan market rose on this tailwind. Amid the groundswell, China's new energy vehicle industry ushered in a brand-new ecosystem, and a revolution in charging technology and energy utilization driven by energy is ready to spring into action!
Where is the future of the new energy vehicle industry headed? September 22-23, the 2020 Sumeru Summit: Mobile Energy Internet Ecosystem Conference gave the answer. This conference brought together 800 guests from government, industry, academia, research, media, and finance, combining viewpoints and achievements, technology and application, with unprecedented breadth and depth and a scale never seen before. Ecosystem partners and opinion leaders from various fields jointly explored the significance of the Mobile Energy Internet for industry development, promoting the formation of an industrial ecosystem conducive to electric vehicle development and boosting the vigorous development of the country's new energy vehicle industry.

[Sumeru Discourse] Building the Mobile Energy Ecosystem Together
Under the Mobile Energy Internet, when energy can be freely produced, stored, transmitted, managed, traded, and consumed according to people's needs, life will surely undergo earth-shaking changes. But building the Mobile Energy Internet cannot be accomplished in a day, nor by one party alone; it requires the entire industry chain, upstream and downstream, to interconnect, integrate, and develop in coordination.
