As of the end of August 2025, China has built the world's most extensive and leading electric vehicle charging infrastructure network in terms of service capacity. The total number of charging facilities nationwide has reached 17.348 million, with an average of 2 charging piles for every 5 new energy vehicles, maintaining the world's largest scale.

Currently, the number of public charging stations nationwide has exceeded 300,000, more than quadrupling compared with 2021, significantly surpassing traditional gas stations in quantity. This rapid expansion provides solid support for cross-regional travel of new energy vehicles. Along expressways, over 40,000 charging stations have been built in service areas, a fivefold increase from five years ago, effectively alleviating the pressure of long-distance energy supplementation. Meanwhile, public charging facilities have covered 97% of counties and 80% of towns nationwide, basically connecting the "last mile" of the urban-rural charging network.

In terms of market structure, major operators such as TELD, Star Charge, and Yunchongkuai occupy a dominant position with high industry concentration. The top 10 enterprises account for 77.8% of the total number of public charging piles nationwide. Among them, TELD ranks first with 821,000 operating units, holding a 19.0% market share; Star Charge operates 707,000 units, accounting for 16.4%; Yunchongkuai operates 669,000 units, accounting for 15.5%.

In terms of technological upgrading, high-power charging facilities are developing rapidly, with 37,000 units deployed nationwide. Ultra-fast charging technology supporting "1 kilometer per second" is gradually becoming popular. Relevant national departments have issued policy documents to explicitly promote the construction of high-power charging facilities, setting a target of exceeding 100,000 such facilities nationwide by the end of 2027, and providing supporting measures in land guarantee, power access, and financial support.

At the same time, the battery swapping model is also accelerating its layout. As of August, the total number of battery swapping stations nationwide has reached 4,946. NIO, as a major participant, has built 3,482 battery swapping stations, including 1,001 expressway stations, realizing full coverage of major national transportation trunk lines. Its daily average battery swapping service volume reaches 97,000 times, and it plans to increase the total number of global battery swapping stations to over 4,000 by the end of 2025. Enterprises such as Aodong New Energy are also actively promoting the construction of battery swapping networks, further enriching the energy supplementation ecosystem.
