State Council Information Office officials announced at a Beijing press briefing today that renewables had climbed to roughly 60 percent of the country’s installed power generation capacity.Why It Matters
China’s expansion of charging infrastructure matters because charging availability influences the rate of EV adoption, affects global automotive supply chains, and underpins state policy to pivot the economy toward electrified transport and renewables. The scale of the network also shapes trade and industrial policy debates abroad as Chinese manufacturers expand exports and as some trading partners review subsidies and trade practices tied to EV production.What To Know
Chinese officials said Beijing established the world’s largest EV charging network during the 14th Five‑Year Plan period, from 2021 to 2025.
