China's EV charging network now supports over 40 million electric vehicles

China has established the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network, with over 20 million charging points nationwide as of December 2025, capable of supporting more than 40 million new energy vehicles. This marks a nearly 50 percent year-on-year increase in charging infrastructure, including 770,000 new points added in December alone. Public charging stations reached 4.7 million units, growing by 31.9 percent, while private charging points dominate with nearly 15.4 million units, up over 56 percent year-on-year. The network’s charging capacity has also improved significantly, with public chargers delivering about 220 million kilowatts combined and average power per unit rising by 33 percent, driven by the deployment of high-power DC fast chargers. The rapid expansion of China’s EV charging infrastructure has accelerated in recent years, with the time to double charging points from 10 million to 20 million shrinking to just 18 months. The network now covers over 98 percent
