Company Overview

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-listed holding company that primarily operates in the electric vehicle (EV) retail and franchise services industry in the People’s Republic of China. The company’s core business focuses on providing franchise and retail support services to EV dealers, particularly for new energy vehicles, including battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Jiuzi Holdings generates revenue mainly through franchise fees, sales facilitation, and related service arrangements rather than manufacturing vehicles itself.

The company positions itself as a platform connecting EV manufacturers, dealers, and end consumers, with an emphasis on expanding EV adoption in lower-tier Chinese cities. Jiuzi Holdings was originally incorporated in 2019 and later became publicly traded in the United States through a reverse merger structure. Over time, it has sought to broaden its scope from a single-brand retail model to a multi-brand EV sales and service platform, although the scale and consistency of this evolution remain limited based on publicly available disclosures.

Business Operations

Jiuzi Holdings operates primarily through its EV Retail and Franchise Services business segment, which encompasses franchised EV sales outlets, direct retail locations, and related consulting and support services. The company does not report diversified operating segments; instead, its revenue streams are concentrated in franchise licensing, store management support, and vehicle sales commissions. Operations are overwhelmingly domestic, with activities concentrated in mainland China.

The company controls limited physical assets, relying instead on contractual relationships with franchisees and EV manufacturers. It has disclosed cooperation with multiple domestic EV brands, though specific long-term exclusive partnerships are not consistently detailed in public filings. Subsidiary operations are conducted through Jiuzi (China) Holdings Co., Ltd., which serves as the primary operating entity. No material joint ventures have been conclusively verified based on available public sources.

Strategic Position & Investments

Strategically, Jiuzi Holdings has articulated an objective of expanding its EV retail network across China, particularly in underserved regional markets. Growth initiatives have included plans to increase franchised store counts and to explore opportunities in battery-swapping services and EV-related infrastructure, though execution progress has varied and, in some cases, remains unclear.

The company has periodically announced intentions to pursue acquisitions or equity investments in EV-related businesses and emerging technologies. However, based on publicly available filings and disclosures, few completed acquisitions of material scale have been conclusively verified. Where investment announcements have been made without subsequent financial confirmation, data is inconclusive based on available public sources.

Geographic Footprint

Jiuzi Holdings’ operational footprint is concentrated in Mainland China, where all reported revenue-generating activities occur. Franchise and retail locations have been reported across multiple provinces, with a focus on lower-tier cities rather than major metropolitan centers. The company’s corporate structure includes a U.S. holding entity, but it does not report meaningful commercial operations in North America, Europe, or other international markets.

While the company is headquartered at the holding level in the United States for listing and corporate governance purposes, strategic, operational, and revenue-generating activities are managed locally within China. There is no verified evidence of international investments or operational influence outside China as of the most recent public disclosures.

Leadership & Governance

Jiuzi Holdings is founder-led and overseen by a board of directors that combines executive management with independent directors. Leadership has emphasized capital efficiency, rapid store network expansion, and alignment with China’s national EV adoption policies, though governance capacity is constrained by the company’s small scale.

Key executives disclosed in public filings include:

• Tao Li – Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
• Bo Li – Chief Financial Officer
• Yun Liu – Director

Public disclosures do not consistently elaborate on a formalized leadership philosophy beyond stated commitments to growth in the EV retail sector and shareholder value creation. Where executive roles or governance details vary across filings, data is inconclusive based on available public sources.
