Gasgoo Munich- China's National Energy Administration released data on March 2026 electric vehicle charging facilities on April 27, 2026. According to the national charging facility monitoring platform, China's total EV charging infrastructure reached 21.481 million connectors by the end of March — a 46.9% year-on-year jump — sustaining the rapid expansion of energy replenishment networks.Image source: Huaban.comBy category, public charging connectors totaled 4.863 million, up 28.1% from a year earlier, with a combined rated power of 234 million kilowatts and an average power of roughly 48.06 kilowatts. Private chargers, meanwhile, hit 16.618 million, surging 53.5% annually, while installed electricity capacity for private facilities reached 147 million kilovolt-amperes.The build-out is accelerating. It took 13 years to go from the first station in 2006 to 1 million units by June 2019. Reaching 10 million by June 2024 took five years. But climbing from 10 million to 20 million required just 18 months, solidifying China's position as the world's largest EV charging network.On the policy front, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, along with four other departments, issued the "Three-Year Doubling Action Plan for EV Charging Facility Service Capability (2025–2027)" in October 2025. The plan targets 28 million charging facilities nationwide by the end of 2027, delivering over 300 million kilowatts of public charging capacity to support more than 80 million electric vehicles. The energy administration has fully launched this initiative, prioritizing fast-charging networks in urban areas, planning to add 1.6 million DC connectors, and promoting high-power infrastructure.Industry analysts suggest the sector is shifting from scale expansion to quality improvement. As the "Three-Year Doubling" plan gains traction, charging infrastructure will penetrate deeper into counties and rural areas, fueling sustained momentum for high-quality development.
