According to the data of the China Charging Alliance, the number of public piles in July 2024 increased by 87,600 from the previous month, which is 41% faster than the same period last year; The annual increment of public piles was 480,000, with a growth rate of 17% over the same period last year. Private piles with vehicles increased by 272,000 from the previous month, faster than the growth rate of 27% in July 2023; Private piles increased by 1.52 million annually, an increase of 17% over the same period last year. The charging capacity of male piles is 530,000 degrees, which is a better growth than the same period, and the average monthly charging of single piles is 1651 degrees, which is a better growth than that of 1470 degrees in July last year.
In this regard, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Association, said that in recent years, China’s charging infrastructure has developed rapidly, and has built the world’s largest number of charging infrastructure systems, the widest range of services and the most complete variety of charging infrastructure systems. At present, according to the calculation that 1 public pile =3 private piles, the pile ratio of pure electric vehicles in China’s incremental market in 2024 has been 1:1, several times ahead of other countries in the world.
From the point of view of specific cities, the situation of public charging stations varies greatly, mainly the charging stations in developed cities are larger. The construction of charging stations in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Beijing is better. From January to July 2024, the charging pile in Shandong increased by about 34,000, and the charging pile in Sichuan increased by about 29,000, and the share grew faster. Beijing has 140,000 public charging stations, an increase of 11,000 this year.
Although the scale is large, there are still problems in the field of charging piles in China. First, coverage is incomplete. At present, 10% of the service areas of expressways are not covered, and the coverage of rural charging infrastructure is less than 5%. Second, the structure is unreasonable. 99% of the charging facilities are still fast and slow charging, 64% of the public DC charging pile is still 750V and below low pressure pile, can not support the next stage of 800V and above high voltage ultra-fast charge development.
