High-Quality Development: Exploring China’s “Charging Infrastructure” in Shanghai
On May 23, 2025, Shanghai reported significant advancements in the new energy vehicle sector. The cumulative number of new energy vehicles registered in Shanghai has reached approximately 1.64 million, with 610,000 personal electric vehicles and 17.18 million charging stations. This city, with a population of 25 million, is not only a powerhouse for electric vehicles but is also working towards becoming a model for charging infrastructure.
From the “charging infrastructure” initiative to “smart charging solutions,” Shanghai is leveraging technology to enhance its energy supply and provide sustainable options for its citizens.
The 2024 Shanghai Comprehensive Transportation Quality Improvement Report indicates that by 2024, Shanghai aims to promote 27.83 million new energy vehicles, targeting a cumulative promotion of 164.5 million vehicles, establishing itself as a leading city in this domain.
To tackle issues such as “difficulties in finding charging stations” and “lack of charging points,” Shanghai is actively developing charging networks and standards to ensure efficient service delivery. The T2 terminal at Shanghai’s airport is set to have 114 fast-charging stations, supporting a wide range of electric vehicles.
As part of its strategy, Shanghai is focusing on building high-quality charging infrastructure that meets the ever-growing demand for electric vehicles. The city aims to provide reliable and efficient energy solutions to its residents.
Moreover, Shanghai’s electric vehicle network will encourage the integration of renewable energy sources, facilitating a smoother transition towards a greener energy system. The city plans to establish 600 kW charging stations that can support high-capacity vehicles and contribute to reducing operational costs by 30%.
In the broader context, the National Energy Administration and various local governments are collaborating to innovate and enhance the charging infrastructure throughout the country. The goal is to ensure that electric vehicles can operate efficiently while effectively managing their energy consumption.
Shanghai’s initiatives to create sustainable and efficient charging networks reflect a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its citizens while promoting the use of new energy vehicles. The city is not only focused on improving infrastructure but also on ensuring that it remains at the forefront of technological advancements in the energy sector.
Overall, this demonstrates Shanghai’s dedication to becoming a leader in the electric vehicle landscape, paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.
