BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) — China's electric vehicle (EV) charging network continued to expand rapidly in January 2026, reaching 20.7 million units by the end of last month, according to data from the National Energy Administration (NEA) released Friday.
According to the agency, this figure has sharply increased by 49.6 percent compared to the same period last year.
Of these devices, approximately 4.8 million were public and 15.9 million were private, representing year-on-year increases of 31.2 percent and 56.1 percent, respectively.
According to data, by the end of January, the total rated capacity of public charging stations for electric vehicles reached 226 million kW, or an average of about 47.01 kW per charger.
The expansion of China's charging network has been driven by the growing popularity of clean electric vehicles among Chinese consumers in recent years.
According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the country's production of new energy vehicles gained momentum in 2025, with production and sales reaching 16.626 million and 16.49 million units, respectively, an increase of 29 percent and 28.2 percent year-on-year.
In October 2025, China unveiled a three-year action plan to improve the country's EV charging infrastructure, aiming to build a nationwide network of 28 million chargers with a total capacity of over 300 million kW by the end of 2027. -0-
