During the recent Spring Festival holiday, electric vehicle travel saw a significant increase in activity, leading to a sharp rise in charging demand and setting a new historical record. According to data from the National Energy Administration, the total charging volume for electric vehicles on highways during the holiday reached 149.76 million kilowatt-hours, with an average daily charging volume of 1.664 million kilowatt-hours. Compared to the same period last year, the average daily charging volume increased by 52.01%. This notable growth reflects the rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle market and indicates that the construction and deployment of charging infrastructure are entering a new phase of development.
On February 26, data released by Tianyancha Professional Edition showed that there are currently more than 909,000 enterprises in China engaged in the charging pile industry, operating or in existence. It is worth noting that approximately 185,000 new charging pile-related companies were registered in 2025. In terms of registration trends, the number of charging pile enterprises has shown a year-on-year increase over the past five years, peaking in 2025.
To continuously enhance the charging support capacity of highway service areas, some regions have taken the lead by adding more charging spaces, installing high-power fast-charging equipment, and deploying mobile charging facilities to alleviate "range anxiety" among new energy vehicle owners. Regionally, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces lead in the number of charging pile-related enterprises, with over 105,000, 71,000, and 63,000 companies, respectively.
