Exclusive Interview with Liu Bingbin, CEO of Zento: Instead of Being the "Pioneer" of Balcony Energy Storage, Aim to Be the Home Energy Center in the AI Era
Summary
Zendure (Guangzhou Jianghai Technology) has pivoted from power banks to a plug-and-play home energy management system (HEMS) and positions itself as the 'home energy center' in the AI era. CEO Liu Bingbin highlights rapid product iteration, AI-driven energy dispatch (ZENKI), and the ZenWave™ dynamic power retail service as core elements of the shift from hardware sales to recurring energy services. The company gained a strategic supply-chain investor (Dazun Laser) in 2025, secured dedicated manufacturing capacity, and is conducting a Series C round to fund R&D and European market expansion. Zendure targets rapid user growth across Europe (notably Germany and France) and aims to reach network effects through software, integrations (Tesla, Shelly, heat pumps), and accumulated data-driven algorithms.
