Located in the mountainous region of Guizhou, a mountainous province in southwestern China, a new generation of charging stations is helping to improve the experience for electric vehicle (EV) owners there.
The Quanhu Park charging station in the capital city of Guiyang, covering an area of over 3,900 square meters, has 130 charging ports, providing an impressive charging speed of nearly "1 km/s." It is the province's first liquid-cooled integrated facility, combining ultra-fast charging technology, solar power, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy exchange.
The charging station was jointly developed by Hubei Shanxin Energy Technology Group and Guizhou Electric Vehicle Service Company under China Southern Power Grid.
Lin Xiaolan, a leader of Hubei Shanxin, said the company's goal is to achieve charging efficiency equivalent to that of refueling a fuel-powered car, thereby promoting the use of high-end electric vehicles. She stressed that the multifunctional design of the station will be a model for future infrastructure.
Equipped with 20 liquid-cooled super-fast charging posts with a maximum capacity of 600 kW, 100 fast charging posts with a maximum capacity of 250 kW, and 10 two-way V2G charging posts with a capacity of 20 kW, the station can provide fast charging for 120 vehicles at the same time.
The station also has an intelligent system that displays real-time operational data and manages energy flow between subsystems such as charging, solar power generation and battery storage.
Station manager Shi Jihong noted that charging from midnight to 8am - the time when electricity prices are lowest - mainly serves ride-hailing and taxi drivers who prefer low-cost charging.
Mr. Che Zhong, a ride-hailing driver, really enjoyed the charging experience here because of the spacious space and almost no queues. He said it only took 50 minutes to charge enough for a day of travel.
The move comes as China faces growing infrastructure needs as electric vehicles become more popular. National data shows that low-power stations still dominate China’s charging market, while fast charging stations account for a small share and ultra-fast charging technology is just starting to emerge.
In July, four central government agencies jointly issued a roadmap to build more than 100,000 high-power charging points nationwide by the end of 2027, to achieve significant upgrades in service capacity and technological innovation.
Guizhou Electric Vehicle Service Company is planning to provide comprehensive ultra-fast charging coverage in Guizhou’s urban centers and deploy a widespread fast-charging network in county-level areas. This will gradually weave a network that promises to provide a seamless electric vehicle driving experience, even in one of China’s most mountainous regions./.
