CCTV News: During the May Day holiday in 2025, the scale of new energy vehicle travel will continue to expand, and highway service areas and scenic spot charging stations in many places are busy.

Data from the State Grid Smart Vehicle Networking Platform shows that during the May Day holiday, the charging volume of new energy vehicles in the national highway service area reached 15.9 million kilowatt-hours, an increase of 28% over the same period in 2024, setting a record high. During this period of time when you are recently out, is it convenient to charge new energy vehicles and how is your travel experience?

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, in the Zhijiangxi Expressway service area of ​​the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, many passengers who drove by themselves were charging. The reporter observed that even during peak hours with high traffic volume, the supply of charging spaces here is relatively sufficient, and new energy vehicles can be charged as they come.

The Cicheng Service Area Charging Station of Shenhai Expressway is the largest highway service area charging station in Zhejiang. The reporter saw here that 47 charging piles were fully powered. Although they were all in full capacity, there was no long queue. Fast charging piles and super charging piles are accelerated to improve travel experience

In 2025, my country will accelerate the pace of charging pile construction, increase efforts to lay out high-power fast charging piles, super charging piles, etc., and continuously improve the travel experience of new energy vehicle owners.

The Wendeng service area of ​​Rongwu Expressway is a must-pass passage to enter and exit Weihai. During the May Day holiday, a large number of vehicles come here to charge every day. In order to improve the charging experience, the local power supply department added 2 160-kilowatt double-gun DC fast charging piles based on the original 4 60-kilowatt DC charging piles, and the waiting time of car owners has been reduced by 70%.

In Yantai, in order to cope with the peak of passenger flow, the local power department has increased the construction of fast charging piles in rural areas. In 2025, 50 township public fast charging stations will be completed and put into operation. At present, Yantai has built a "5-kilometer charging circle" in the core area of ​​the city, and townships have achieved full coverage of public fast charging stations.

In Nanjing, the largest integrated "optical storage, charging and replacement inspection" Jiangning's integrated all-green power demonstration charging station was completed and put into operation not long ago. The local power supply department not only equipped with 4 super charging piles and 12 fast charging charging piles in the station, but also introduced intelligent products such as track charging robots and mobile energy storage robots to meet the charging needs of different models.

Shaanxi Maoling Scenic Area, the number of tourists more than doubled in the same period in 2024. The local power department has deeply optimized the charging piles in the scenic area, greatly increasing the charging power to three times the original, greatly shortening the charging time of tourists.

In Dameisha, a popular self-driving "check-in place" in Shenzhen, the super charging demonstration station that was just put into operation before May Day has ushered in the charging peak in the past two days. The demonstration station adopts the world's leading 600-kilowatt liquid-cooled supercharge technology, and a new energy vehicle can replenish 500 kilometers in 10 minutes.
