China | Established the World’s Largest Electric Vehicles Charging Network

By the end of 2025, China established the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network. The Asian country reached a pivotal milestone in its green energy transition as it surpassed 20 million charging units, a 10 million unit increase in just 18 months. 

The expansion of charging infrastructure accelerated markedly last year and according to the NEA,  the total number of facilities nationwide has reached 20.092 million.

The network supports over 40 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) and infrastructure deployment along major transport routes continued to advance.A total of 71.500 charging piles have been installed covering 98% of highway service areas and offering widespread, high --power and rapid charging capabilities. In addition, 19 provincial - level regions have achieved full charging coverage across all townships.

The average power output per public charging point rose to 46.5 kilowatts, representing a 33% year - on - year increase reflecting a shift toward higher capacity and faster - charging solutions. 

The network aims to continue expanding, with plans to add 3.000 charging piles and 5.000 charging parking spaces in highway service areas to further reduce range anxiety.

The continued expansion of charging infrastructures is supporting the rapid growth of China’s electric vehicle sector and strengthening the foundations for a more sustainable transport system. 

Key Features of China’s EV charging network include: 

•    Massive Scale and Rapid Growth: The number of charging facilities doubled from 10 million to over 20 million in just 18 months, concluding 2025 with 20.092 million chargers. 
•    High - Power and Ultra - Fast Charging: Public charging stations have increased their aver power capacity to 46.5 kW, with new ultra – fast, liquid – cooled piles reaching up to 600 kW, enabling 100 kWh charging in just 10 minutes.
•    Ubiquitous Coverage: Over 98% of highway service area have charging piles, and 19 provincial – level regions have achieved full coverage across all townships. 
•    Intelligent and Green Grid Integration: The infrastructure employs AI – driven, intelligent scheduling systems to manage demand, reducing peak grid load by up to 40%. 
•    Diverse Charging Solutions: The system includes a combination of public, private, and rapid swapping stations (Battery as a Service) to accommodate diverse user needs.
