Quick Takeaways
- China’s EV charging rollout continues to scale in line with surging NEV sales, maintaining a near-balanced vehicle-to-charger ratio.
- Public charging infrastructure and battery swapping networks are consolidating rapidly, led by major operators and coastal provinces.
On December 23, data released by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance highlighted the latest China EV charging infrastructure status for November 2025, based on submissions from over 2,000 member organizations. The figures provide a comprehensive view of how charging and battery swapping facilities are scaling alongside the country’s rapidly expanding new energy vehicle market.
Overall China EV Charging Infrastructure Status
By November 2025, total EV charging facilities across China reached 19.322 million units, reflecting a strong 52.0 percent year-on-year increase. Public charging guns accounted for 4.625 million units, while private charging installations stood at 14.697 million units, growing 36.0 percent and 57.8 percent year-on-year respectively. This expansion underlines continued investment in both residential and public charging access.
Growth in Charging Infrastructure During 2025
Between January and November 2025, newly added charging facilities totaled 6.504 million units, marking a significant 73.2 percent year-on-year rise. Public charging infrastructure increased by 1.046 million units, while private installations added 5.458 million units. The faster growth of private chargers reflects rising home and workplace charging adoption across urban and semi-urban regions.
Charging Infrastructure Versus NEV Sales Trends
During the same January–November period, domestic sales of new energy vehicles reached 12.466 million units, compared with 6.504 million new charging facilities added nationwide. This translates to a ratio of roughly 1.9 vehicles per charging unit, indicating that China’s charging infrastructure rollout has broadly kept pace with accelerating NEV adoption.
Regional Distribution of Public Charging Facilities
Public charging infrastructure remains concentrated in key economic regions. Approximately 66 percent of public charging facilities are located across ten provinces and municipalities, led by Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Shanghai. Other major regions include Henan, Sichuan, Anhui, Hubei, and Fujian.
Electricity consumption for public charging is similarly concentrated, driven mainly by passenger vehicles and public buses. In November 2025 alone, nationwide charging electricity consumption reached 8.44 billion kWh, increasing by 350 million kWh month-on-month and rising 62.5 percent year-on-year.
Leading Public Charging Infrastructure Operators
As of November 2025, the top ten public charging operators collectively operated 3.561 million charging units, accounting for 76.3 percent of the national total. This group recorded a combined year-on-year growth of 24.7 percent, highlighting increasing market consolidation and scale advantages among leading infrastructure providers.
Battery Swapping Infrastructure Status
Battery swapping infrastructure also continued to expand steadily. By November 2025, China had 5,086 battery swapping stations, representing a 21.3 percent year-on-year increase. Guangdong ranked first by regional deployment, while a single leading operator accounted for the majority of operational stations nationwide, reinforcing its dominant position in the battery swapping ecosystem.
