During the holidays, Chongqing Expressway will increase the number of mobile charging facilities based on the prediction of traffic flows in expressway service areas in Chongqing. Innovative measures, such as comprehensive guidance on traffic flows in two-way service areas, will also be actively adopted to enhance the charging capacity during the holidays.
In addition, Chongqing Expressway has built 14 supercharging stations that offer at least 480 kW of power and 19 supercharging points.
Chongqing Expressway plans to build 71 supercharging stations and offer 840 new charging spaces in 2024, bringing the number of supercharging stations to 85 and increasing the number of charging spaces to 1,619 by the end of the year. In the next few years, the company will increase the number of charging spaces on the expressways based on the operation of charging stations and the actual need for charging.
