National Day holiday highway charging growth rate hit a new high
A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily learned from the State Grid that on October 1, the charging capacity of the expressway charging facilities reached 1.4292 million kilowatt-hours, which was nearly four times the normal daily charging capacity, a record high.
The reason for this situation is largely due to the rapid growth of new energy vehicles.
Data show that as of the end of September, the number of new energy vehicles in the country was 6.78 million, and 1.87 million new energy vehicles have been registered this year, which is nearly 1.7 times that of the entire year of 2020.
As a result, during the peak period of the National Day trip, the charging capacity of electric vehicles will also increase sharply.
According to statistics from the State Grid, from October 1 to 3, the total charging capacity of the State Grid's charging and swapping service network increased by 59% year-on-year, of which the charging capacity of highway charging facilities increased by 56.52% year-on-year, and the daily charging capacity of urban charging facilities increased by 75.23 year-on-year. %.
From the perspective of the single-day charging capacity of the expressway charging facilities, the charging capacity of the expressway charging facilities reached 1.4292 million kilowatt-hours on October 1, which is nearly 4 times the normal daily charging capacity, a record high.
State Grid said that the main reason for the new high charging capacity is the rapid increase in the number of domestic new energy vehicles.
