To China, current leader of the global electric mobility market, recorded significant progress in this economic sector. Compared to the previous year, the growth of infrastructure for electric vehicles has seen growth of 19,8% up to last month's records. Between January and October, 3,228 thousand new charging stations were installed in the country.
Therefore, at the moment, China has accumulated 11,884 thousand posts. In percentages, This represents an increase in 49,4% with respect to total units in operation. Current infrastructure can be found beyond Chinese urban areas, as in residential areas, highways, roads, public spaces and rural areas.
A comprehensive network
The data was presented at the China Motor Vehicle Battery Charging and Changing Ecological Conference. During the event, representatives of the segment dedicated these advances to the implementation of public incentive policies, made in recent years. These investments would have expanded the network of battery charging and exchange services.
Accelerated growth in the production and sale of electric cars is another factor driving demand for new infrastructure. Vehicle sales exceeded 28 million units in 2024. That's why, It is essential that the charging market keeps up with this accelerated growth.
Technology and supply chain on the rise
De acordo com Tong Zongqi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Alliance for Promoting China's Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, today the proportion of new charging stations in relation to electric vehicles is 1:2,6. Although, other than that, the supply chain must also match current demand.
That's why, new technologies, like wireless charging, mobile and high power, are in development, In addition to smart devices becoming more accessible on the market. It is already in China's plans to invest in technological acceleration in the coming years to expand business opportunities linked to electric mobility.
Yet, representatives reinforced their commitment to sustainable development and leadership in the global energy transition. With the aim of optimizing efficiency and facilitating consumer access to new products, the Asian country's objective is to qualify fast charging systems, battery swapping and smart charging.
