Li Auto launches 400th supercharging station

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 16, Chinese new energy vehicle maker Li Auto announced the launch of its 400th supercharging station.

The company also stated its commitment to rapid expansion of its power network, aiming to build over 2,000 supercharging stations and more than 10,000 charging piles by the end of 2024.

According to public data, Li Auto's 5C supercharging stations offer impressive charging speeds. To be specific, on highways, they can charge up to 500 km in 12 minutes with a peak power of 520 kW per pile, while in urban areas, they can charge 500 km in 25 minutes with a peak power of 250 kW per pile. These stations provide efficient 800V fast charging, and the lightweight 3.3 kg charging guns are easy to handle.

The parking spaces at Li Auto's 5C supercharging stations are equipped with independent cameras that automatically detect vehicle occupancy, lower parking locks, and report safety issues. In addition, charging status and operational data are automatically sent to the cloud for analysis to identify potential issues.

Li Auto revealed that it has already established over 20 popular charging routes for travel and plans to create more than ten 1,000-km charging routes by the end of the year, aiming to provide users with the best pure electric travel experience.

In addition to public charging infrastructure, Li Auto has made significant progress in home charging solutions. On May 14, the company announced that it has installed over 500,000 home charging piles, with an installation rate of about 70%.

The top three provinces by the installation volume of Li Auto's home charging piles are Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangsu, while the highest installation rates are in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning provinces.
