Fast Charging: “I’ve just arrived, but I haven’t charged yet!”
On October 2, 2025, at 08:46, a report was published discussing the challenges and developments in fast charging services for electric vehicles (EVs). The rapid growth of the new energy vehicle market has led to significant advancements in charging technology and infrastructure.
According to the report, the rapid charging service area has specialized personnel and has achieved a considerable increase in service efficiency. Some vehicle owners have reported reaching over 60 charging stations, with many only needing a few minutes to start charging. One vehicle owner remarked, “I’ve just arrived, but I still haven’t charged!”
By the beginning of the national charging station launch on October 1, 2025, multiple fast-charging stations across the country for new energy vehicles are expected to witness a surge in usage. Some vehicle owners need to charge in less than three minutes to get back on the road quickly. The charging service mode will also be adjusted to ensure efficient and timely service delivery.
As of October 1, 2025, national electricity forecasts predict a significant increase in the number of fast charging stations to meet the growing demand. The short charging times are seen as a way to alleviate issues faced by new energy vehicles during peak usage times, particularly for those operating under heavy load scenarios.
In various regions, local governments have already begun to implement policies to enhance the efficiency of electrical equipment. In June 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued guidelines aimed at promoting the development of fast charging infrastructure, which included the establishment of standards for high-power charging stations.
As of June 30, 2023, the city of Shenzhen has constructed over 1057 fast charging stations, ensuring that they can handle the electricity demand of electric vehicles efficiently. However, the rapid expansion of charging facilities poses challenges to grid capacity, requiring significant investments in infrastructure to ensure stable service.
The report emphasizes that while the fast charging infrastructure expands, the focus should also be on the reliability and safety of these new installations. The shift towards a greater number of fast charging stations could lead to more significant impacts on the electrical grid, necessitating careful planning and management.
In conclusion, the current state of fast charging infrastructure development highlights a critical need for coordination between the rapid expansion of electric vehicle usage and the associated charging network. As more charging stations are built, there is a growing demand for further enhancements in grid capacity, signaling the need for ongoing adjustments and improvements in the electric vehicle charging landscape.
