Currently, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles has exceeded 50%, and the industry maintains high - speed growth, bringing broad development opportunities to the automotive aftermarket. At the same time, the shortcomings of the industry are gradually emerging: professional stores with "three - electric" maintenance capabilities are scarce, and young users' requirements for service transparency and construction visualization are constantly increasing. Relying on JD's huge user base of over 700 million users and 300 million car owners, JD Car Maintenance accurately grasps market changes and user needs, and efficiently responds to consumer demands with standardized and systematic capabilities. Through strategic cooperation with CATL, the establishment of dual - brand large stores, and the implementation of new energy maintenance pilot projects in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, it continuously improves the service capabilities and operating efficiency of stores.

In 2025, JD Car Maintenance continued to lead the industry in growth rate, with the user scale doubling and driving the steady growth of store profits. The strong profit performance also accelerated the expansion of stores across the country. By the end of last year, the number of JD Car Maintenance stores had exceeded 4,000. While expanding in scale, with the high - quality experience of "guaranteed and more professional", user satisfaction also continued to rise.
