    AIMS (CEO Seong-Hoon Choi) announced that it will participate in CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from Tuesday, January 9 to January 12 (Friday, local time) next year.

    AIMS is a startup that operates an electric motorcycle battery exchangeable charging platform service. Nanu, a platform operated by AIMS, is a battery sharing platform for electric vehicles that can smoothly replace used batteries with charged batteries. Using the AIMS app, Nanu users can find a battery charging station, replace a used battery with a charged one, install and move it, all within 10 to 20 seconds.

    The NANU battery sharing platform operates with core technology centered on BaaS (Battery as a Service). NANU provides seamless access to innovative batteries by connecting the hardware stack of battery stations and shared batteries and the software stack of battery managers, vehicle managers and user apps with the NANU operating system, officials explained.

    Founded in July 2018, AIMS has completed prototype production of a battery-exchangeable charging station for commercial use of electric two-wheeled vehicles after three years of technology development, and will begin service to the market in July 2022, with approximately 300 units nationwide. The installation of the battery exchange type station has been completed and the service is in progress for delivery service providers and general customers. In addition, Leo, a dedicated electric two-wheeler, has recorded cumulative sales of about 400 units since 2021.

    AIMS, which announced its intention to participate in this exhibition to expand its business into Southeast Asia, Europe, and South America through battery standardization, is exporting POC to Southeast Asia and South America and aims to install more than 100 units within the year.
