In the context of global energy transition and the development of electric vehicles, China is making significant strides in enhancing its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. The China Electric Power Report indicates that by April 17, 2025, the total number of electric vehicle charging facilities in China is expected to reach 128.18 million. This represents a remarkable increase from 16.8 million just five years ago.
As of 2024, the number of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China is projected to soar to 31.4 million units, up from 12 million in 2014. The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market is evident, with 56.8 million electric vehicles anticipated in the market, achieving an annual growth rate that continues to accelerate.
Every day, approximately 100,000 new charging stations are being established, and by 2025, the country plans to have 230 million charging points, with over 90 million of these located in rural areas. China aims to achieve a 40% market share for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), reflecting a shift away from traditional oil-powered vehicles.
In 2024, it is estimated that the overall number of charging stations will reach 1.2818 million, with 3.14 million units dedicated to new energy vehicles. These developments highlight a significant shift in the energy landscape, with a strong push towards sustainable energy solutions.
The market is experiencing a surge in hybrid electric vehicles, with a projected increase to 248.5 million units. By 2024, hybrids are expected to account for 40% of the NEV market, indicating a clear preference for this technology over traditional combustion vehicles.
According to projections, by 2025, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China will reach 1.6 million units, representing a growth of 50% from previous years. This aligns with the overall goal to have 6.42 million units sold by 2030, supported by favorable policies and advancements in technology.
The ongoing developments in the electric vehicle market are accompanied by significant investments in charging infrastructure and technology. As China continues to expand its NEV market, the integration of renewable energy sources into the charging network is becoming increasingly important.
In recent years, the focus on electric vehicle development has led to an increase in the number of manufacturers entering the market, indicating a robust competitive landscape. The future of electric mobility in China looks promising, with various stakeholders committed to enhancing the EV ecosystem.
Overall, the advancements in electric vehicle technology and infrastructure in China are set to transform the automotive landscape, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
