China Launches 2026 Pilot Program for County-Level EV Charging Infrastructure Improvements

Published: Mar 13, 2026 17:37
China’s Ministry of Finance launched the 2026 application process for pilot programs to address shortcomings in county-level charging and battery swapping infrastructure. For charging and battery swapping stations powered by PV generation, if the amount of electricity “generated for self-use” exceeds 40% of total charging volume, the annual total charging volume of such “generated for self-use” electricity may be converted at 1.2 times.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued the Reply on the Approval of the Hami–Dunhuang Third 750 kV Transmission Line Project, formally approving the Xinjiang Hami–Dunhuang Third 750 kV Transmission Line Project. The implementation of this project was of great significance for improving the backbone structure of the main power grid in Northwest China, strengthening the mutual support capacity between the Gansu and Xinjiang power grids, and enhancing Xinjiang’s capacity to absorb new energy. According to previously disclosed environmental impact assessment information, the project had a total static investment of 1.3509 billion yuan and was scheduled for completion in March 2027.
