The supplementary energy experience of users’ travel is the key to the development of new energy industry.
In recent years, the flow of new energy vehicles on the highway is growing rapidly, and the problem of charging in the highway service area during holidays has attracted more and more public attention.
Galaxy has learned that with the help of various roles such as the State Grid, car companies, and local exchanges, the construction of a high-speed energy replenishment network has been very effective.
On November 4, ideal announced that the overcharging station had reached 1000 stations and completed the completion of nine high-speed lines.
Not long ago, Weilai also announced the completion of the high-speed power exchange network layout of 7 vertical, 9 horizontal and 12 major urban agglomerations.
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Transport has recently responded to netizens’ suggestion of “increasing charging parking spaces in highway service areas” and elaborated on the planning for the next step of highway energy replenishment.

previously, “driving a long-distance highway” was considered to be a major deficiency of new energy vehicles, especially during the May Day and National Day holidays.
Charging is difficult to turn electric cars into “electric dads” in seconds.
Galaxy learned that in the early stage of the development of the new energy vehicle industry, State Grid and Southern Power Grid actively responded to the national strategic planning and took the lead in the layout of highways.
Today, car companies such as Xilai, ideal, Xiaopeng, Guangzhou Automobile Energy, Kamex, Polar Krypton Energy and Porsche have also started the construction of a high-speed energy supplement system.
According to the National Highway Network Planning (2013-2023), the main line of China’s national highway network is composed of “7 rays, 11 vertical lines and 18 horizontal lines” (referred to as “71118”), that is, 7 capital radiation, 11 north-south vertical lines and 18 east-west horizontal lines.
Earlier, Weilai and ideal just announced the results of its replacement of power stations and overcharging stations in the highway layout.
As of October 30th, Xilai has set up a total of 2602 power stations across the country, including 868 expressway stations, and has completed the layout of high-speed power conversion network in 12 major urban agglomerations with 7 vertical lines, 9 horizontal lines and 12 horizontal lines.
At present, the ideal overcharging station has also covered 9 national highways.
Specifically, Weilai runs through the Beijing-Mongolia section of G6 Beijing-Tibet Expressway, G20 Qingyin Expressway, G30 Lianghuo Expressway Sugan Section, G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway, G42 Shanghai-Rong Expressway, G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway Shanghai-Gui Section, G80 Guangzhou-Kunming Expressway, G56 Hangzhou-Rui Expressway Zhejiang-Hunan Section, Shanghai-Kunming Expressway Shanghai-Guizhou Section.
The ideal has been connected with G15 Shenhai Expressway, G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, G42 Shanghai-Rong Expressway, G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, G45 Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway, G30 Lianghuo Expressway Su-Shan Section, and G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway, G25 long-Shenzhen Expressway and G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway.
In addition, car companies are also actively demanding foreign cooperation to jointly build high-speed energy supply.
For example, GAC Energy cooperated with China Railway Construction to lay out the Southwest Expressway, and signed a cooperation framework agreement with Yuandao Communication Co., Ltd., which started cooperation on the construction of public charging stations on expressways in the second half of 2024.
Netizens’ suggestions have been paid attention to, and it can be predicted that as more and more car companies devote themselves to the construction of high-speed energy replenishment network, it will bring more abundant charging options and higher quality charging experience for the majority of electric vehicle owners.
At the same time, the relevant departments are also making active arrangements.
Earlier, a helpless new energy car owner from Hengyang City, Hunan Province, had suggested “increasing charging spaces in highway service areas”.
The netizen said that at present, the number of charging parking spaces in some highway service areas is insufficient, as long as the traffic flow in the high-speed service areas increases slightly, there are often long queues to charge, and disputes may occur as a result.
Therefore, it is suggested to increase the number of charging parking spaces in the high-speed service area.
The Ministry of Transport responded to the netizen’s proposal.
The Ministry of Transport said that various localities have been deployed to speed up the construction of charging infrastructure along the highway in accordance with the principle of “moderate advance”.
This year, we will promote the construction of charging facilities along the highway to be closer to the people’s livelihood, guide various localities to further optimize the layout of charging infrastructure in highway service areas, and continue to encrypt and optimize the layout of facilities, so as to better meet the needs of the development of electric vehicles.
It is reported that by the end of August 2024, a total of 28800 charging piles had been built in expressway service areas (including parking areas) across the country.
In view of the serious charging queue in some expressway service areas with large traffic flow, the Ministry of Transport is also urging localities to further speed up charging facilities, especially the construction of overcharging and fast charging facilities, at the same time, it also guides localities to appropriately introduce mobile charging facilities to meet the charging needs during peak hours, and strengthen information release and queuing guidance to guide the public to choose charging places reasonably.
The Ministry of Transport developed WeChat Mini Programs, the “e-road unblocked”, to provide the public with the “random check” service of highway charging facilities.
In addition, the smart car networking platform e-charging App of the State Grid is also making every effort to create a national charging “one network”, providing users with a high-speed charging network of ten horizontal and ten vertical rings, covering nearly 50,000 kilometers of highways, serving users’ charging needs for long-distance trips during holidays.
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Transport has vigorously promoted the adoption of high-power charging facilities in high-speed service areas, and the high-quality charging infrastructure represented by Huawei has continued to participate in the construction of a high-speed overcharging network.
For example, in August this year, Hubei Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Huawei Digital Energy to create a “high-speed integrated energy demonstration line” has been released.
