February 13 - The National Energy Administration held a press conference on February 13. Liang Changxin, spokesman of the National Energy Administration, said at the meeting that in recent years, China's charging infrastructure has developed rapidly and has built the largest and most widely distributed charging infrastructure network in the world.

First, the scale of charging infrastructure has expanded rapidly. In 2022, China's charging infrastructure continues to grow at a high speed, effectively supporting the rapid development of new energy vehicles. The annual growth of charging infrastructure reached about 2.6 million units, and the cumulative number reached about 5.2 million units, up nearly 100% year on year. Among them, the public charging infrastructure increased by about 650000 units, and the cumulative number reached about 1.8 million units; The private charging infrastructure grew by more than 1.9 million units and the cumulative number exceeded 3.4 million units.

Second, the charging and switching operation market has made rapid development. China's charging market has shown a diversified development trend. At present, there are more than 3000 charging pile operators, including 17 enterprises with more than 10000 public piles, and the cluster effect of leading enterprises is obvious. The charging capacity of electric vehicles continued to maintain a rapid growth. In 2022, the annual charging capacity exceeded 40 billion kWh, with a year-on-year growth of more than 85%.

Third, the technology and standard system has gradually matured. The National Energy Administration has set up a technical committee for the standardization of electric vehicle charging facilities in the energy industry, established a charging infrastructure standard system with independent intellectual property rights in China, and issued 31 national standards and 26 industrial standards in total. China's DC charging standards are in line with Europe, the United States and Japan's four major charging standards in the world.

Fourth, the construction of government monitoring service platform system was accelerated. 29 provincial charging facility monitoring service (supervision) platforms have been built nationwide (except Tibet and Qinghai) to provide support for industry management, subsidy distribution and planning in all regions. The National Energy Administration is promoting the planning and construction of national platforms in an orderly manner.
