At the 2026 EXEED International User Summit in Wuhu, China, Chery Auto's smart energy center is showcasing an integrated solar, battery storage, and charging microgrid. The center includes what is described as China's first scaled AC vehicle-to-grid (V2G) demonstration station, with megawatt-level ultra-fast charging and a rest area powered entirely by on-site renewables. The pitch is simple: an EV can add meaningful range during a coffee break, and during peak grid hours those same vehicles can feed power back to help balance load. The company also highlighted the Energy Cube home storage system, Rhino batteries, early-stage solid-state research, and a deployed microgrid at an electric heavy-duty truck park in Spain. That Spanish project combines solar, storage, and high-power charging as a replicable model for freight decarbonization. The press release is light on specifics like charging speeds in kilowatts, V2G tariff structures, or system costs, but it confirms that integrated solar-storage-charging hubs are moving from pilot to commercial rollout.
