Henan's first EV charging station begins construction

Henan's first charging station for electric vehicles recently began construction in Zhengzhou. This is the largest electric vehicle charging station under construction in China.

The station will adopt a collective charging mode. It will be equipped with 14 120-kW charging machines which can charge 20 electric public buses simultaneously, and it will also be equipped with 10 charging poles for private electric vehicles.

The Xinxiang Electric Vehicle Charging (Battery Replacing) Station, which began construction at the same time as the charging station in Zhengzhou, will have four functions including electric vehicle charging, general services, battery replacement and a multi-floor garage. When completed, it will be able to charge 20 electric vehicles and replace batteries for 200 electric taxis simultaneously, and its garage will also be able to accommodate 400 charging vehicles.

Henan province will build 1,160 electric vehicle charging stations and over 850,000 charging poles before 2020. They will also guarantee stable and reliable operations. After 2020, all electric vehicle drivers traveling in Henan will no longer need to worry about their journey.
