As of the end of August 2025, China’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure reached a total of 17.348 million units, a year-on-year increase of 53.5%.
Here’s a breakdown of the infrastructure:
- Public Charging Facilities: 4.316 million units, representing a 37.8% year-on-year increase. Their combined power capacity reached 196 million kilowatts.
- Private Charging Facilities: 13.032 million units, showing a faster growth rate with a 59.6% year-on-year increase. Their power capacity was 115 million kilowatts.
This expansion aligns with the significant growth in China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) market, which saw double-digit increases in both production and sales during the first eight months of 2025.
From January to August 2025, NEV production surged 37.3% year-on-year to approximately 9.63 million units, while sales jumped by 36.7% to 9.62 million units.
This growth underscores China’s commitment to building a comprehensive EV charging network to support the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and address concerns about “range anxiety” among potential buyers.
The network caters to the demand for both public and private charging solutions, with stations strategically located in urban areas, along highways, and in residential areas.
” At the UN Climate Summit on September 24, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced new climate targets, stating that China would reduce its economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from peak levels by 2035. China also plans to increase the share of non-fossil fuels to over 30% of total energy consumption by 2035 and more than sixfold its wind and solar power capacity to 3,600 gigawatts by the same year. The announcement represents China’s first absolute emissions reduction target and comes alongside its long-term commitment to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060″.
