BEIJING -- Didi Chuxing, which operates China's top ride-hailing platform, will offer services such as financing and charging to electric vehicle drivers through a joint venture with state-owned automaker BAIC.
Drivers who look to offer ride services with "new energy" vehicles including electric cars and plug-in hybrids can use a smartphone app to obtain a car loan or lease the automobile. The app also will connect users to charging and maintenance services.
