Summary of Key Points from the China Charging Ecosystem Research Industry Overview - The report focuses on the **China Charging Ecosystem**, specifically the development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure as of November 2025. Key Observations 1. **Charging Pile Count**: - China's total charging pile count reached **19.3 million** by the end of November 2025, representing a **56% year-over-year (yoy)** increase and a **51% increase** compared to December 2024 [1][2]. 2. **EV-to-Charging Pile Ratio**: - The ratio of EVs to charging piles decreased to **2.2x** by the end of November 2025, down from **2.4x** at the end of December 2024, indicating a growing infrastructure relative to EV population [2]. 3. **Public Charging Volume**: - Public charging volume in the first eleven months of 2025 grew by **54% yoy**, reaching **76,710 GWh**, which accounted for **0.81%** of total electricity consumption in China. Notably, in November 2025, public charging volume exceeded **1%** of total electricity consumption for the first time [5]. 4. **Public Charging Piles**: - Approximately **1,046,000** public charging piles were added in the first eleven months of 2025, marking a **42% yoy** increase. The total public charging pile population reached **4.6 million** by the end of November 2025, up **34% yoy** [3]. 5. **Private Charging Piles**: - New installations of private charging piles reached approximately **5,459,000** units in the first eleven months of 2025, which is **0.44x** the EV sales during the same period. The total number of private charging piles reached **14.7 million**, growing **65% yoy** [4]. 6. **Battery-Swapping Stations**: - By the end of November 2025, the number of battery-swapping stations for EVs in China reached **5,086**, a **21% yoy** increase. However, the growth rate of new additions slowed to **3%** in November 2025 [6]. Market Share Insights 1. **Market Share of Charging Pile Operators**: - Among the top five charging operators, only **Xiaoju** increased its market share month-over-month in terms of the number of charging piles owned. Other operators like **TELD** and **Weijingyun** maintained their positions, while **Star Charge** and **YKC** lost market share [7]. 2. **Market Share in Charging Volume**: - In terms of charging volumes, **TELD** and **Star Charge** gained market shares of **0.8ppt** and **0.5ppt** respectively in November 2025. Conversely, **Xiaoju** lost **1.1%** of its market share [8]. 3. **Utilization Rates**: - The average utilization rate of the top ten charging pile operators ranged from **2.8% to 8.5%** in the first eleven months of 2025, showing slight improvements for some operators [9][10]. Comparative Analysis - **US and EU Charging Infrastructure**: - As of November 2025, the US had **265,000** charging outlets, a **23% yoy** increase, while the EU had over **1 million** public charging points, up **18% yoy**. The EV sales to charging outlet new installations ratio in the US was **28x**, compared to **21x** in the EU [11][12]. Conclusion - The data indicates a robust growth trajectory for China's EV charging infrastructure, with significant increases in both public and private charging piles, as well as public charging volume. However, market share dynamics among key players suggest competitive pressures that could impact future growth and profitability in the sector.
