As China’s EV market expands rapidly, the need for efficient charging solutions has intensified. National data indicates that low-power chargers dominate the market, with fast-charging options limited and ultra-fast technology still emerging. To meet this challenge, four central government departments announced a plan in July 2025 to install over 100,000 high-power charging points across the country by the end of 2027, aiming to enhance service capacity and technological innovation.
The Quanhu Park station, a collaboration between Hubei Shanxin Energy Technology Group and China Southern Power Grid’s Guizhou EV service company, is Guizhou’s first liquid-cooled charging facility. It integrates ultra-fast charging, solar power generation, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy exchange, setting a new standard for EV infrastructure.
“Our aim is to match the refueling efficiency of petrol vehicles, ultimately boosting premium EV adoption,” said Lin Xiaolan, a director at Shanxin Energy, emphasizing the station’s innovative design as a model for future developments.
The station is equipped with 20 ultra-fast liquid-cooled chargers delivering up to 600 kW, 100 fast chargers with a maximum of 250 kW, and 10 bidirectional V2G units at 20 kW. It can serve 120 vehicles simultaneously, ensuring rapid and efficient charging. An intelligent system monitors real-time data, managing energy distribution across charging, solar power, and battery storage components.
Station manager Shi Jihong highlighted that the facility offers low-cost charging between midnight and 8 a.m., primarily benefiting ride-hailing and taxi drivers. “This is the premier charging experience,” said Che Zhong, a ride-hailing driver, noting the station’s efficient service and minimal wait times. A 50-minute charge provides enough power for a full day’s operation.
China Southern Power Grid’s Guizhou EV service aims to expand ultra-fast charging across Guizhou’s urban centers and provide widespread fast-charging access in county-level areas. This initiative supports seamless EV operation, even in the province’s mountainous terrain, contributing to China’s sustainable energy goals.
