The National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, and other relevant departments jointly issued the “Notice on Promoting the Scientific Planning and Construction of High-Power Charging Facilities” (NDRC Energy [2025] No. 632), which clearly sets a target of over 100,000 high-power charging facilities nationwide by the end of 2027. The notice also outlines nine key measures—including dedicated planning, technical standard upgrades, and grid coordination—to comprehensively promote the scientific layout of high-power charging networks. The implementation of this policy marks a shift of charging infrastructure from “quantitative growth” to qualitative transformation, sending a clear signal for development to enterprises across the industry chain.
Focus on “Efficiency, Safety, and Integration”
Planning-driven approach: The policy requires local governments to develop tailored plans, giving priority to high-demand scenarios such as highway service areas and urban public spaces. Facilities with holiday utilization rates exceeding 40% are to be upgraded to high-power capacity.
Technical standard upgrades: The policy promotes linking national standards for high-power charging with vehicle-to-charger access. It supports R&D of core technologies such as high-voltage silicon carbide modules and megawatt-level charging, while strengthening intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities.
Grid coordination empowerment: The policy encourages co-deployment of photovoltaic and energy storage facilities and explores market mechanisms for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interactions. Price signals are used to guide charging facilities in participating in grid peak regulation.
End-to-end safety management: From equipment certification and site design to operation and maintenance, a full-cycle safety management system is established, requiring equipment availability to be no less than 98%.
From “Single-Point Breakthroughs” to a “Systematic Ecosystem”
Under the policy, high-power charging facilities will gradually form a multi-layered network: “urban surface coverage, highway line coverage, and rural point coverage.” Meanwhile, emerging scenarios such as photovoltaic-energy storage-charging integration, smart orderly charging, and ultra-fast heavy-duty vehicle charging are accelerating, driving technological iterations in core components, operation platforms, and energy management.
For example, Yunnan has established a megawatt-level liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging corridor, achieving the milestone of “15 minutes of charging for 200 km of range”, demonstrating the feasibility of commercializing advanced charging technologies.
Building a New Global Industry Collaboration Hub
Amid the combined opportunities of policy incentives and market demand, the 2026 World Charging Technology and Facility Exhibition will go beyond a traditional trade show to become a strategic platform for driving industry leapfrog development:
Technology integration benchmark: Focused on high-power charging, V2G interaction, and intelligent O&M, the exhibition will showcase innovations across the full chain—from core materials to system integration—helping enterprises secure technological leadership.
Resource integration accelerator: Bringing together grid operators, service providers, equipment manufacturers, and international standards organizations to promote cross-sector collaboration, standardization, and efficient industry chain coordination.
Ecosystem value connector: Through scenario-based demonstrations and solution matchmaking, the exhibition accelerates the adoption of integrated “photovoltaics + storage + charging” models, enabling enterprises to capture new market opportunities amid the energy transition.
High-power charging facilities are not only the cornerstone of new energy vehicle adoption but also a critical component in building a new-type power system. Through V2G interaction and green power consumption, charging networks can effectively balance grid loads, driving the transition of transportation energy from fossil fuel dependence to clean electricity-driven systems. In the future, with domestic and international standard alignment, Chinese technological solutions are poised to play a central role in the global green energy ecosystem.
