BlueRun Ventures Leads Angel Round of Several Tens of Millions of RMB for Mobile Energy Service Provider "Lanli Energy" | BlueRun Ventures

Recently, mobile energy service provider "Lanyli Energy" announced it has raised tens of millions of RMB in angel funding, with BlueRun Ventures leading the round. The proceeds will primarily go toward independent R&D of distributed mobile energy storage products, commercial operations, and partnership development.

BlueRun Ventures stated: As the new energy vehicle industry grows rapidly, existing charging and battery swap stations are constrained by time and space — there's a temporal and spatial mismatch between infrastructure and user demand, with inherent ceilings on experience and efficiency that prevent them from meeting all charging needs. Dynamic energy replenishment, represented by mobile charging, is unconstrained by time and space, presenting enormous market opportunities. Lanyli Energy has extensive experience in charging and battery swapping, energy digitization, and operational efficiency. It has developed mobile charging hardware products and a dynamic energy network operations management system, and is gradually building out a comprehensive mobile energy replenishment network to fundamentally improve the charging experience for NEV owners while reducing carbon emissions. We have strong conviction in the Lanyli team and believe they will become a leading brand in new energy operations.

Founded in October 2021, Lanyli Energy is a new energy service technology company integrating product design, R&D, and service operations. It was founded by core members from leading internet teams including DiDi, Alibaba, and Tencent. Leveraging advanced energy storage technology, IoT technology, and battery detection technology, the company targets the charging challenges facing new energy vehicles against the backdrop of carbon neutrality. It is building a distributed, dynamic new energy grid integrating solar, storage, charging, and battery inspection, offering users an innovative mobile seamless charging experience. This service is already live in Hangzhou.

In 2021, new energy passenger vehicle sales penetration exceeded 15%, with ownership growing from 4.92 million vehicles in 2020 to 7.84 million in 2021. Automakers have set clear timelines for phasing out internal combustion engines, with NEV ownership projected to exceed 200 million by 2035. People's definition of a car has evolved beyond mere transportation — they increasingly expect to enjoy more services within the vehicle space. Consequently, the frequency and capacity demands for NEV energy replenishment continue to grow.

Currently, the growth of urban charging infrastructure in China still lags behind that of new energy vehicles. Due to limited private parking space availability and cost, private charging piles account for a low share, with most NEVs still relying on commercial public charging. However, insufficient charging pile numbers, poor distribution, queuing, space hogging, and equipment damage — stemming from power capacity and site constraints — directly impact user experience. Concerns about charging convenience remain the primary barrier to NEV purchases, and the market urgently needs better energy replenishment experiences to meet user demands.

Lanyli Energy focuses on the optimal combination of distributed energy storage and mobile energy replenishment services, delivering a seamless charging experience for users. Founder Yang Hao notes that future NEV energy replenishment will diversify, with electricity sold in various forms at the terminal, allowing users to choose their preferred method — whether charging piles, mobile charging, or battery swapping. Additionally, the very nature of vehicles will be redefined: new energy vehicles represent people's "third space," with energy services ensuring quality of life in that space, and energy technology underpinning those services. Drawing on over a decade of accumulated technology and data in relevant fields, the Lanyli team uses a data-driven AI algorithm engine at its core, combined with temporal neural networks and digital twin systems, to achieve high-precision, multi-dimensional battery parameter management and prediction — pursuing ultimate asset and operational efficiency while delivering an exceptional charging experience.

The Lanyli founding team stated they will use mobile on-demand charging as their entry point, gradually developing distributed energy storage stations, solar-storage integration, and grid connection to build a distributed, dynamic new energy grid integrating solar, storage, charging, and inspection. They will also actively pursue deep collaboration with top domestic research institutions, dedicating themselves to energy security and full lifecycle value extraction while vigorously advancing green energy development.
