Policy & Technology Dual-Drive Pushes Refueling System into "EV-Fuel Vehicle Parity" Era
As 2026 kicks off, China's new energy charging industry has achieved milestone development. Data from the National Energy Administration shows that by the end of 2025, the total number of charging facilities nationwide reached 18.063 million, a year-on-year increase of 54.5%, including over 37,000 high-power charging facilities. With the implementation of policies such as the "Notice on Promoting the Scientific Planning and Construction of High-Power Charging Facilities" and breakthroughs in megawatt-level charging technology, the industry is accelerating its shift from "policy-driven" to "market-driven." The number of photovoltaic-storage-charging (PV-storage-charging) integrated stations is expected to exceed 2,500 in 2026, marking the official entry of refueling efficiency into the "EV-fuel vehicle parity" era.
Policy Anchors Direction: 100,000 High-Power Charging Facilities Targeted by 2027
In June 2025, the General Office of the State Council issued a special notice, clearly setting the goal of "having more than 100,000 high-power charging facilities (single-gun power ≥250kW) nationwide by the end of 2027." It prioritized construction scenarios including expressway service areas and public transport/logistics hubs, and required new energy vehicle manufacturers to "open their self-built charging networks without discrimination." Policy dividends continue to be released: up to 50% construction subsidies are provided for PV-storage-charging integrated projects, with an additional 100,000 yuan special support for county-level stations. This drove the investment scale to exceed 20 billion yuan in 2025, doubling from the previous year.
Supporting upgrades on the power grid side kept pace. State Grid launched the national unified "Green Power Cloud Platform" by the end of 2025, breaking down cross-provincial green power trading barriers and reducing the cost of purchasing photovoltaic green power for charging stations by 20%. Meanwhile, the "virtual power plant" mechanism was piloted in 15 provinces and cities, allowing charging stations to participate in grid peak regulation through energy storage systems, increasing operational revenue by 20%. The PV-storage-charging cluster in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, achieved an annual efficiency improvement of over 3 million yuan through intelligent dispatching.
Technological Breakthroughs Reshape the Industry: Megawatt Ultra-Fast Charging Achieves "2km per Second"
Revolutionary breakthroughs in charging efficiency have become the core driver of industry growth. BYD launched the world's first mass-produced "full-domain 1,000V high-voltage architecture" and all-liquid-cooled megawatt flash charging terminal, achieving a maximum output power of 1,360kW. Vehicles equipped with flash charging batteries can achieve a refueling experience of "5 minutes of charging, 400km of range," equivalent to a charging speed of "2km per second," officially announcing the industry's entry into the "megawatt era."
Technological iteration extends beyond speed: the all-climate ultra-fast charging solution developed by the team of Academician Ouyang Minggao from the Chinese Academy of Sciences solves the problem of low-temperature refueling through pulse heating technology, and the vehicle-grid collaborative heat dissipation system addresses overheating during fast charging in summer. CATL's sodium-ion energy storage battery cost has dropped to 0.5 yuan/Wh, reducing the investment payback period of PV-storage-charging integrated stations from 8 years to 3.5 years, laying the foundation for large-scale popularization. By the end of 2025, the number of PV-storage-charging integrated stations nationwide reached 1,500, a 375% increase from 2023, with an expected growth rate of 66.7% in 2026.
Market Pattern Reorganized: Leading Enterprises Compete for "PV-Storage-Charging-Swapping Integration"
The industry boom has attracted full industrial chain layout, with major moves from leading enterprises in China's A-share charging pile sector. BYD has built technical barriers with its "1,000V high-voltage platform + megawatt flash charging," and its charging terminals have achieved "dual-gun charging" and "intelligent voltage boosting" compatibility. Sinopec, leveraging its gas station network advantages, added 120 PV-storage-charging integrated stations in 2025, creating integrated scenarios of "charging + shopping + catering." TELD focused on intelligent operation and maintenance, realizing full-link AI dispatching of PV-storage-charging, with equipment availability stably above 98%.
The market structure shows "polarization": on one hand, leading enterprises such as BYD and Sungrow Power Supply account for over 60% of the high-power charging market share with technological advantages; on the other hand, policy inclination towards counties has driven third and fourth-tier cities to become new blue oceans, with 50% of new PV-storage-charging stations in 2026 to be deployed in county-level markets. Industry pain points remain to be addressed: currently, 30% of stations in remote areas face losses due to high energy storage costs, and 72% of small and medium-sized operators still rely on manual operation and maintenance, with fault response time exceeding 4 hours.
2026 Trend Outlook: Refueling Ecosystem Moves Towards "Vehicle-Grid Synergy"
Industry experts predict that 2026 will become the "year of qualitative change" for the charging industry: energy storage costs are expected to drop to 0.45 yuan/Wh, making PV-storage-charging integration the standard for new stations; V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) standards will be fully popularized, with 20% of new energy vehicles supporting reverse power supply, and annual charging station revenue expected to increase by 15%; the "PV-storage-charging-swapping integration" model will accelerate penetration, forming a complementary ecosystem between commercial vehicle battery swapping and passenger vehicle ultra-fast charging.
"When charging becomes as convenient as refueling and green power becomes the mainstream for energy supplement, the ultimate barrier of the new energy vehicle industry will be broken," noted industry analysts. The 2026 industry boom is not only about the growth in the number of facilities but also the in-depth integration of the refueling system with the power grid, transportation, and energy systems, providing solid support for the realization of the "dual carbon goals." With technological maturity and cost reduction, new energy charging is evolving from "infrastructure" to "core urban energy nodes," ushering in a new era of green travel.
