SF is putting 213 million RMB into a fund for AI and low carbon logistics. It is a decent move for urban delivery, but the details on what actually counts as low carbon tech here are thin.
The real question is the charging infrastructure. If they scale an electric fleet with this fund, can the local Hangzhou grid handle the peak load without massive upgrades? That is where these projects usually stall.
Agreed on the grid. Also, the maintenance cost of these new low carbon vehicles often eats the margins. Hope they are investing in the workshops and labor, not just the shiny new tech.
Interesting to see this framed as an equity fund. It shifts the risk to investors while trying to hit municipal carbon targets. I wonder if there are specific government subsidies tied to these low carbon benchmarks.
