Chinese e-mobility company eyes US market for expansion

NAVEE, a Chinese company that aims to address modern mobility through technology, is poised to tap into the US market to expand its global footprint.

Founded in 2021, the company designs and manufactures electric scooters and electric golf carts for international markets. This year, the company began adding AI-enabled features to some of its products.

During an event on Friday in Mountain View, California, NAVEE introduced several new products and models, including a space-expanding trailer, an energy storage robot, an exoskeleton, a personal aerial mobility device, and an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

Nearly all the new products unveiled at the event feature AI technology. The energy storage robot and the exoskeleton are expected to hit the US market next quarter, while the other products are still in long-term development, according to Mauricio Magallon, NAVEE's sales manager for the United States.

The energy storage robot, Magallon explained, is not "just a battery" but a "mobile energy companion" that addresses three core challenges: mobility, charging efficiency and gear handling.

It can follow the user automatically and deliver power where it's needed, he said, and it can also follow the sun to optimize solar power collection.
