PV-storage-charging-battery swapping" heavy truck stations. The
project is intended to provide charging and battery swapping
services to 1,800 heavy trucks and compact EVs in Anji County,
alongside smart integration of photovoltaic power generation,
energy storage, charging and battery swapping. The solar power
system project, engineered by Sinopower HK, helps ensure the supply
