Core Viewpoint - The 2026 Spring Festival travel rush is expected to see a record 9.5 billion people moving across regions, with 299 million daily cross-regional movements during the holiday, highlighting the significant role of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in this surge [5][6]. Charging Dilemma - The rapid increase in NEV usage, with a total of 43.97 million vehicles by December 2025, has exposed shortcomings in charging infrastructure, leading to long queues at charging stations and "charging panic" among users [5][7][8]. - Despite having the world's largest electric vehicle charging network with over 20.09 million charging facilities, the supply is insufficient to meet the concentrated demand during peak travel times, particularly in low-temperature conditions that affect battery performance [7][10][11]. Solutions to Charging Issues - To address the charging dilemma, the industry needs to enhance the layout of charging stations along major highways, focusing on high-power fast charging stations to improve supply capacity [13][15]. - There is a need to eliminate charging blind spots in rural and remote areas, with plans to add at least 14,000 direct current charging guns in towns lacking public charging stations by the end of 2027 [16]. - The development of advanced battery technologies, such as solid-state and sodium batteries, is essential to improve performance in low temperatures and enhance charging efficiency [17]. - A multi-faceted energy supplement system, including battery swapping and mobile charging, is crucial to meet the concentrated energy needs during peak travel periods [17]. Industry Collaboration - Major industry players like CATL, NIO, and BYD are actively investing in charging infrastructure, with CATL planning to establish over 3,000 battery swap stations by 2026 and NIO aiming for 4,600 stations by the end of the same year [19][20][21]. - The collaboration among battery manufacturers and vehicle companies is vital for optimizing the energy supplement system and addressing the challenges faced during the Spring Festival travel rush [21].
