Striving to be the "Shell" in the charging station industry, EnergyBond is seeking angel round financing
01 Core Pain Points
Today, with the continuous increase in the number of new - energy vehicles and the accelerated layout of charging infrastructure, the domestic charging station market is reaching a critical point for revitalizing the existing stock. Data from the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration show that there are currently 435,000 charging stations in China, among which 43,000 to 65,000 charging stations have transfer requirements, corresponding to a total transaction value of approximately 35 to 50 billion yuan. However, traditional channels have four major pain points: inaccurate information, unreasonable prices, insecure transactions, and non - standard business operations, making it difficult to complete charging station transactions. Aiming at these four pain points, the Energy Bond project was officially launched in October 2025, aiming to create the "Beike Zhaofang" in the charging station industry. Relying on the ACN broker cooperation model, it builds a professional charging station trading platform.
02 Solutions
As the first vertical platform in China dedicated to charging station transactions, Energy Bond introduces the ACN cooperation network model of Beike Zhaofang into the charging industry. For the first time in the industry, it establishes a standardized transaction process and commission - sharing rules, clarifies the commission distribution ratio for different roles, and completely solves the problems of vicious competition and individualism among traditional individual intermediaries, truly realizing full - process transaction and delivery services. At the same time, the platform's solutions to the four pain points are as follows:
1. To address the issue of inaccurate charging station information, the platform establishes a four - level verification mechanism including AI evaluation, manual evaluation, intermediary evaluation, and platform review, and creates a standardized charging station information template across the network to ensure the authenticity of information from the source.
2. Regarding the pain point of unreasonable charging station prices and the lack of a unified pricing standard in the industry, the platform launches an original valuation algorithm. The pricing of charging stations takes into account both the seller's revenue and the buyer's investment return. The pay - back period and potential earnings are directly displayed on the product to facilitate the buyer's decision - making.
3. To solve the problem of large - scale transaction fund security, the platform introduces third - party fund custody and launches an installment - payment service, which not only reduces the buyer's financial pressure but also ensures the security of funds for both parties.
4. In response to the problem of non - standard business operations, the platform establishes a core industry database and regularly conducts online and offline business training for intermediaries on the platform to improve their business capabilities and strive to build a standardized business team.
03 Business Model
In terms of market space, the demand for the transfer of domestic charging station stock assets is continuously being released. The potential transaction market worth hundreds of billions of yuan provides broad growth space for the platform. The current model of the platform truly realizes an altruistic mechanism.
1. For the industry, the platform breaks through information barriers, standardizes the intermediary market, and promotes the compliant and digital development of charging station transactions.
2. For operators, it broadens the channels for transfer and investment promotion, improves the efficiency of asset transfer, and reduces transaction costs.
3. For acquirers, it integrates real and high - quality resources. For intermediaries, it clarifies commission rules, eliminates the phenomenon of side deals and commission fraud, and maximizes personal resource benefits.
In the long run, the platform improves the service closed - loop of the charging industry, conforms to the policy orientation of carbon neutrality and new infrastructure, and helps the large - scale development of the new - energy charging industry.
04 Profit Model
Energy Bond has a clear profit model. Its core income comes from two parts. One is the charging station transaction commission. After a successful transaction, the platform charges a 5% intermediary fee, of which 2% goes to the information publisher, 2% to the intermediary who brings customers, and 1% to the platform. The other part is the interest income from installment - payment services. The platform provides installment - payment services for buyers and obtains a compliant interest share from it. The business model has been verified in practice.
05 Core Team
The founder, Xu Zhisheng, has more than 10 years of experience in Internet product development and operation, as well as 6 years of experience in charging station SaaS system products. He is the author of the "Introduction Manual for Charging Station Construction and Operation" and is also the person in charge of the Energy Bond official account. Since 2022, he has gradually laid out the charging industry ecosystem. He has successively built a vertical official account that has accumulated tens of thousands of accurate industry fans, launched the industry's first free charging station location calculation tool, and launched the Energy Bond vertical community that integrates the resources of the entire industrial chain. Finally, in 2025, he completed the development and verification of the MVP and officially launched the Energy Bond platform focusing on charging station transactions.
06 Project Stage
Currently, the project is in the cold - start implementation stage. The entire transaction process has been fully run through. The team structure is clear. Two technical leaders are responsible for product technology development, and an operations director coordinates external expansion and brand promotion. As of now, more than 40 high - quality tradable charging station resources have been accumulated, more than 400 experienced intermediaries have been signed, and multiple actual transactions have been completed. Both the business model and the profit logic have been verified in practice. During the development process, the project also faces real challenges such as insufficient promotion resources, team expansion, and capital gaps.
07 Financing Requirements
According to the platform's plan, it is expected to complete transactions for 50 charging stations and achieve revenues exceeding 1 million yuan in 2026. In 2028, it is expected to complete transactions for 500 charging stations and reach revenues of 25 million yuan, entering a rapid growth phase. Currently, the platform plans to raise 2 million yuan in this round of financing, offering a 10% stake. The funds will be mainly used for team building, promotion, and daily operations to further expand the platform's resources and industry influence.
