Over 20 Million EV Chargers Operating In China Now - CleanTechnica

China has surpassed 20 million electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities as of December 2025, according to the National Energy Administration. This total includes approximately 4.7 million public chargers and 15.4 million private chargers, making China home to the world’s largest EV charging network. The rapid expansion is notable, with the number of chargers doubling from 10 million to 20 million in just 18 months. Many of these chargers are fast chargers, and highway service areas across the country now offer nearly full coverage, supporting long-distance EV travel. China’s leadership in EV infrastructure aligns with its status as the largest EV manufacturer and the prevalence of affordable EV models domestically. The country’s motivation to switch to electric vehicles is driven by severe air pollution, which causes over one million premature deaths annually in China alone. While some critics argue that EVs rely on coal-generated electricity, China is significantly increasing its use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower, solar, and wind. As
