Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission has developed a "Three-Year Doubling Action Plan for Electric Vehicle Charging Facility Service Capacity (2025-2027)" to enhance the electric vehicle charging infrastructure and promote wider adoption of electric vehicles [1] Group 1: Urban Charging Network - Strengthening the urban fast charging network by constructing a public charging network primarily focused on fast charging, supplemented by slow charging and high-power charging [2] - Aiming to add 1.6 million direct current charging guns by the end of 2027, including 100,000 high-power charging guns [2] Group 2: Highway Charging Facilities - Accelerating the update and renovation of charging facilities in highway service areas to meet the intercity travel needs of electric vehicles [3] - Plans to build or renovate 40,000 "super-fast combined" charging guns with a capacity of over 60 kilowatts by the end of 2027 [3] Group 3: Rural Charging Infrastructure - Addressing the shortcomings in rural charging facility construction by expanding the coverage of charging networks in rural areas [4] - Targeting the addition of at least 14,000 direct current charging guns in townships without public charging stations by the end of 2027 [4]

Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and other departments have issued the "Three-Year Doubling Action Plan for Electric Vehicle Charging Facility Service Capacity (2025-2027)" to enhance the electric vehicle charging infrastructure and promote wider adoption of electric vehicles [1][2]. Summary by Sections Charging Infrastructure Expansion - The plan aims to significantly increase the number of charging facilities, particularly in rural areas, with a target of adding at least 14,000 direct current charging guns in townships without public charging stations by the end of 2027 [4]. Residential Charging Optimization - New residential areas are required to install charging facilities in all fixed parking spaces or reserve conditions for future installations. Existing residential areas will also be upgraded to enhance charging capabilities [5]. Vehicle-Grid Interaction - The initiative includes expanding vehicle-grid interaction pilot programs, with a goal of adding over 5,000 bidirectional charging and discharging (V2G) facilities and achieving a reverse discharge volume exceeding 20 million kilowatt-hours by the end of 2027 [6]. Power Supply Improvement - The plan emphasizes upgrading the distribution network to accommodate charging facility demands, particularly in urban core areas and old residential communities, while promoting smart and orderly charging [7]. Charging Service Quality Enhancement - There will be efforts to improve the quality of public charging stations by upgrading old equipment, optimizing station environments, and standardizing pricing to enhance user experience [9]. Implementation and Safety Management - The NDRC and other relevant departments will oversee the implementation of the action plan, ensuring that local authorities develop tailored three-year action plans for charging facility development [10][11]. Safety management will be reinforced through adherence to national standards in the design and construction of charging stations [11]. Public Awareness and Communication - The plan includes strategies for increasing public awareness of charging facility developments and policies through various media channels, fostering a supportive environment for electric vehicle consumption and infrastructure improvement [11].
