Hey, EV fans! 🌏 Ready for some power-packed news? During the just-concluded 8-day National Day + Mid-Autumn Festival break (Oct 1–8), the Chinese mainland’s highways saw NEV charging hit a record high of 123 million kWh—that’s a 45.73% jump compared to last year! ⚡🔥
According to the National Energy Administration, drivers plugged in 5.169 million times over the holiday, averaging 15.3591 million kWh per day—2.6× the daily average earlier this year. Talk about an energy rush! 🚀
The Chinese mainland’s NEV market is on fire. By June-end, there were 36.89 million NEVs on the roads, making up 10.27% of all vehicles—locking in its spot as the world’s top NEV market for 10 straight years. 🏆
Behind this surge is the world’s largest charging network: roughly 2 charging piles for every 5 EVs. That’s like having a charger on every street corner in your favourite city—super convenient for long drives! 🏙️🔋
