Core Insights - The article highlights the significant progress China is making in its green transition during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector and charging infrastructure [1][6]. Charging Infrastructure Development - During the recent holiday period, China's highway EV charging reached 123 million kilowatt-hours, with a daily average increase of over 45% year-on-year, marking a historical high [1]. - By the end of August 2025, China is expected to have 17.348 million electric vehicle charging points, approximately ten times the number from five years ago [2]. - The number of charging facilities on highways has increased to over 40,000, five times the number from five years ago, with significant expansion into rural areas [2]. Charging Speed and Technology - The average power of newly added DC charging stations has increased from 73.90 kilowatts at the end of 2021 to 98.51 kilowatts by June 2025, indicating a rapid adoption of high-power charging facilities [3]. - Shenzhen has established 1,057 supercharging stations and over 487,000 charging piles, surpassing the number of gas stations and making "full charge with a cup of coffee" a reality [3]. Renewable Energy Integration - The "14th Five-Year Plan" has seen a rapid increase in renewable energy, with the share of renewable energy generation capacity rising from 40% to around 60% [4]. - Wind and solar power generation has significantly increased, with their contribution to total electricity consumption rising from 9.7% in 2020 to an expected 18.6% by 2024 [4]. Traditional Energy Transition - 95% of coal-fired power units in China have achieved ultra-low emissions, with ongoing improvements in coal gangue utilization rates [5]. - The recent announcement of new national contribution targets aims for non-fossil energy to account for over 30% of total energy consumption by 2035, with a sixfold increase in wind and solar capacity compared to 2020 [5]. Future Ambitions - The new targets set forth are more ambitious and indicate that the next five years will see an even greater push towards green transformation in China [6].
