State Grid Corporation of China Launches First EV Supercharging Stations in Beijing
The State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), the world's largest utility company, has officially launched its first batch of electric vehicle supercharging stations in Beijing. Reported by state-owned media CCTV, these new facilities feature advanced technology with single charging piles offering a maximum output of 600 kW. The initial rollout includes two stations in Beijing’s business districts: Xihongmen in Daxing District and Dongguantou in Fengtai District. Utilizing a 1,000-volt high-voltage platform and liquid-cooled technology, these stations can fully charge compatible vehicles in approximately ten minutes and serve a combined daily capacity of hundreds of vehicles. This initiative marks a significant upgrade from the typical 200 kW public chargers currently prevalent in China. SGCC plans to expand this network by building nine additional supercharging stations across various Beijing districts in the second half of the year, aiming for a total daily service capacity of 8,000 vehicles. This development underscores China's broader commitment to clean energy transition and widespread EV adoption, supporting the national goal of reducing carbon emissions. The launch coincides with data showing China's total charging pile count exceeding 10 million units, reflecting rapid infrastructure growth.
