236、term cooperation with theChaowei Group since 2017.Battery products sourced from the Chaowei Group haveconstituted substantially all of our product offerings to our regional service providers.Wesource from the Chaowei Group not only the battery products under its supplier brandincluding Gold Chilwee,
237、but also products under our self-owned brands,includingShanxing(閃行),Zhenjin(臻金)and Long Runner(長跑者)manufactured on anOEM basis.We have also been purchasing lithium-ion battery products from the ChaoweiGroup since 2020 and will specify performance specifications and models.For the yearsended December
238、 31,2022,2023,and 2024,we purchased from the Chaowei Group inaggregate amounts of approximately RMB1,244.9 million,RMB1,002.8 million,andRMB1,507.7 million,respectively.These purchases represented approximately 98.5%,87.0%,and 99.2%of our total purchase amounts for the respective periods.Please seeB
239、usiness Our Business Relationship with the Chaowei Group in this document formore information.We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our business relationship withthe Chaowei Group in the future.If the Chaowei Group decides to terminate its businessrelationship with us,our business op
240、eration,financial results and competitiveness will besignificantly and adversely affected.We may not be able to source batteries for electric lightvehicles of comparable quantity and quality for our service network in a timely andcost-effective manner,or at all.Even if we are able to source batterie
241、s from other suppliers,such batteries may not be of comparable quality or have the same reputation as the onesprovided by the Chaowei Group,which may result in a significant decrease in the demandfor our battery products.We may also incur additional transportation cost or receive lessfavorable prici

243、m the Chaowei Group.We may also need to incurexpenses to launch certain marketing activities to promote alternative battery products oroffer incentive sales to maintain and expand our service network.Given that we rely on the Chaowei Group as our largest supplier in mainland China,we may not have su
244、fficient bargaining power relative to the Chaowei Group to negotiateterms that are favorable to us.If the Chaowei Group increases the selling prices and we areunable to pass these higher purchase costs onto our regional service providers,either byincreasing sales or by sufficiently reducing other co
245、sts,our results of operations could bematerially and adversely affected.Furthermore,we are subject to risks arising from changes in credit terms offered by theChaowei Group.In 2022,we were required to make payments before delivery of goods,while since 2023,the Chaowei Group has granted us credit ter
246、ms for our purchases.If thesecredit terms were to be tightened or terminated altogether in the future,our liquidity andcash flow position could be materially affected,potentially limiting our ability to pursueother business opportunities or investments and causing disruptions to our supply chainand
247、business operations.Consequently,our financial condition,results of operations,andbusiness prospects could be materially and adversely affected.In addition,we often leverage the market reputation of the Chaowei Group to promotethe products that we sell to our regional service providers.If the batter
248、y productsmanufactured by the Chaowei Group have,or are alleged to have,any quality defects,orinfringe upon,or are alleged to infringe upon,the intellectual property rights of any thirdparties,or if the Chaowei Groups intellectual property protection is inadequate to protectits proprietary rights fo
249、r its battery products,in particular lead-acid battery products,or iffactors within or outside of its control cause its brand awareness and reputation to decline,the demand for our products sourced from the Chaowei Group could significantly decrease,and our business operation and financial performan
250、ce may be materially and adverselyaffected.We relied heavily on sales of lead-acid motive batteries for electric light vehicles during theTrack Record Period and expect the reliance to continue in the near future.For the years ended December 31,2022,2023,and 2024,approximately 99.4%,99.4%and 99.1%,r
251、espectively,of our revenue were derived from sales of lead-acid batteries forelectric light vehicles.The reliance on sales of lead-acid battery products rendered ourbusiness and financial performance susceptible to factors affecting the sales performance ofand the demand for such products.Any unanti
252、cipated major fluctuation in the conditions of the market for lead-acidbattery products,including any price war,decrease in demand for lead-acid batteries oradvancement in technology resulting in other forms of batteries such as lithium-ionbatteries and sodium-ion batteries becoming more economical
253、and competitive,couldadversely affect our performance.As such,there can be no assurance that we will be able torespond properly to any such fluctuation in an appropriate way so as to maintain ourcomparative advantages.RISK FACTORS 32 THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM,INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AN
254、D THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED WARNING ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.Fluctuations in the prices of lead could adversely affect our profitability.Lead is the principal raw material for the production of lead-acid batteries for oursuppliers of lead-acid batter
255、ies.Our profitability is dependent on our ability to secure asufficient and constant supply of lead-acid batteries,which,in turn,is dependent on oursuppliers purchasing lead at an acceptable price level.We generally enter into frameworksupply agreements with suppliers of lead-acid batteries,and such
256、 agreements may includeprice linkage clauses that allow for the adjustment of the prices of the lead-acid batteriesperiodically based on the fluctuation of the price of lead.The price of lead is determined principally by supply and demand in the internationaland domestic commodity markets and fluctu
257、ates with market conditions;it may be highlyvolatile.The timing of changes in the market price of lead is largely unpredictable.According to Frost&Sullivan,the average selling price of lead ingots quoted by ShanghaiNonferrous Metals Network(a Chinese non-ferrous metal market information serviceprovi
258、der)wasapproximatelyRMB15,200pertonne,RMB15,600pertonne,andRMB17,200 per tonnefor the years ended December 31,2022,2023,and 2024,respectively.We believe that our purchase of large amounts of lead-acid batteries on anongoing basis with long-term suppliers has facilitated our securing the supply of le
259、ad-acidbatteries at a competitive price during the Track Record Period.Our product pricing strategy for the lead-acid battery products depends on theprevailing market price of lead,and our strategy is to pass the risk of price fluctuations onto our customers by adjusting the prices at which we sell
260、our lead-acid batteries to them.However,we may not be able to pass on the entire cost of such increases to our customersor fully offset the effects of cost increases of raw materials,which may cause ourprofitability to decline.There will also be a potential time lag between when prices for rawmateri
261、als increase and when we can implement a corresponding increase in price with ourregional service providers.We have not entered into any hedging transactions and have notadopted any hedging policies to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in prices of rawmaterials.As a result,we may be exposed to flu
262、ctuations in raw materials prices,particularly that of lead.If these events were to occur,they could have a material adverseeffect on our financial position,results of operations,and cash flows.Changes to the pricing of our products could adversely affect our business,financial condition,results of
263、operations and prospects.Benefiting from our deep engagement with participants in our service network,webelieve we are in a good position to analyze market preferences and demand,evaluate themarket acceptance and potential sales volume of our products,which help us price ourproducts at a competitive
264、 rate.Nevertheless,we cannot assure you that we will adopt acompetitive pricing strategy for our products at all times.If we price our products too low,our profit margin will suffer.If we price our products higher than consumers expectedprice,we may not achieve the sales volume we expect,in which ca
265、se revenue from thecorresponding products may be negatively affected.RISK FACTORS 33 THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM,INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED WARNING ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.Even if we properly price our products
266、,we may offer discounts from time to time topromote our brand awareness and to drive sales volume.We may also need to adjust oursales strategies in the event that we fail to accurately predict the market demand.Any suchprice cuts may not lead to the sales volume we expect and may negatively impact t
267、hedemand for our products,in which case our revenue could be negatively impacted.Furthermore,although we prohibit our regional service providers to take any action whichmight materially disrupt retail prices of our products,there can be no assurance they willalways comply with such requirement.The m
268、arket and pricing for our products may beinterrupted by the secondary sale pricing strategies adopted by such regional serviceproviders and the possible negative shopping experience they provide to consumers,whichmay negatively impact our brand image and our business.Our performance is reliant on th
269、e demand for electric light vehicles in mainland China.The products we offer primarily include batteries and parts used in the provision ofaftermarket services for electric light vehicles.As a result,our performance is largelydependent on the demand for electric light vehicles,which is,in turn,signi
270、ficantly affectedby the policies of the PRC government,the economic environment,and the level ofconsumption in mainland China.In particular,the implementation of the nationalstandards in 2019,which has since been further updated in 2024 marked a new stage ofgovernmental supervisory on electric light
271、 vehicles.Though rigorous restrictions againstelectric light vehicles out of safety concern have been eased,there can be no assurance thatregulatory requirements with respect to our products will not be increased in the future.Forexample,many cities in mainland China have recently implemented strict
272、er regulatoryrequirements on electric light vehicles including those related to riding and parkingbehavior of consumers.Any such increase in regulatory requirements could driveconsumers to opt for other mobility options such as vehicles,motorcycles or bicycles andhave a material adverse effect on ou
273、r business,financial condition,results of operations andprospects.According to Frost&Sullivan,the total sales volume of electric light vehicles inmainland China increased from 56.6 million units in 2020 to 77.7 million units in 2024,representing a CAGR of 8.2%between 2020 and 2024.It is projected to
274、 further increase to85.0 million units in 2029,representing a CAGR of 1.6%between 2025 and 2029.However,there can be no assurance that the demand for electric light vehicles will continue to grow inmainland China.If there is a substantial decrease in demand for these vehicles and we areunable to rea
275、ct appropriately,our business performance could be adversely affected.Any quality issues related to our products or the electric light vehicle industry could result in aloss of customers and sales and,if related to our products,may subject us to administrativepenalties and product liability claims.T
276、he success of our business depends on our ability to consistently deliver products withhigh quality and reliability.Through our KuaiLv Preferred(快驢優選)certificationprogram,we strive to ensure that all products distributed through our network meet strictquality standards.Maintaining consistent product
277、 quality depends significantly on theeffectiveness of our quality control systems,which in turn depends on a number of factors,RISK FACTORS 34 THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM,INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED WARNING ONTHE COV
278、ER OF THIS DOCUMENT.including the design of our quality control systems and our ability to ensure that ouremployees and other third parties involved in our operations adhere to those quality controlpolicies and guidelines.We cannot assure you that our quality control systems will prove tobe effectiv
279、e at all times,or that we can identify any defects in our quality control systems ina timely manner.If the quality of any of our products deteriorates for any reason,or if theconsumers do not perceive our products to be effective,reliable or safe as they claim to be,we may be faced with returns or c
280、ancellations of orders and customer complaints and/oradministrative penalties.Additionally,if any defect of our products results in property damage or personalinjury,we may suffer from product liability claims or product recalls,resulting in financialand reputational damages.These legal claims may b
281、e costly for us to defend even if weprevail in the end.See We have limited insurance to cover our potential losses andclaims for details.Furthermore,if there is a pattern of quality issues in the electric lightvehicle industry in general,consumers perception of,and willingness to purchase,ourproduct
282、s may also be negatively affected,regardless of whether such quality issues relate tous.Any quality issues related to our products or the electric light vehicle industry,actual orperceived,may have a material and adverse effect on our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospects.
283、Our business depends significantly on market recognition of our self-owned brands and brandsfrom our key supplier,the Chaowei Group,and any damage to our brand,trademarks orreputation,or failure to effectively promote our brand,could materially and adversely impactour business and results of operati
284、ons.Brand image is a key factor in purchase decisions made by consumers.According toFrost&Sullivan,many consumers can hardly feel the product difference such asperformance parameters of electric light vehicles among different brands,especially infriendly and steady road conditions.Therefore,brand re
285、cognition becomes the criticaldecision factor for consumers,especially new consumers,to choose parts,especiallyreplacement batteries,for electric light vehicle.Brands build reputation usually based onyears of high-quality product and after-sales services,which brings market visibility andgood word-o
286、f-mouth effect and translates into repurchase of existing customers andattraction to new customers with minimal selling and marketing spending.We believe our success depends in part on the popularity of our self-owned brands thatwe use for marketing and promotion,including Shanxing,Zhenjin and Long
287、Runnerthat we use primarily for our lead-acid battery products.Therefore,maintaining andenhancing the recognition and image of our brand are critical to our ability to differentiateour products and to compete effectively.Our brands and reputation may be harmed byproductdefects,ineffectivecustomerser

291、ntain the end users confidencein our brand name.If end users perceive or experience a reduction in the quality of ourproducts,or consider in any way that we fail to deliver consistently high quality products,our brand value could suffer,which could have a material and adverse effect on ourbusiness.A
292、s of the Latest Practicable Date,we had 79 registered trademarks in mainland Chinaand one registered trademark in Hong Kong and used such trademarks as our trademarksand brands when conducting business.However,we may from time to time be involved inlawsuits brought against us by third parties for tr
293、ademark infringement.We may have toincur significant expenses and divert substantial management time and resources to respondto those cases.Such legal proceedings may materially and adversely affect our brand imageand damage our brand value,regardless of their merits.We consider our trademarks andbr
