Why this matters: To date, public charging stations in China have tended to produce a maximum of around 200 kW. Details: The first batch of supercharging stations to be put into operation includes two locations in Beijing: the Xihongmen supercharging station in Daxing District and the Dongguantou supercharging station in Fengtai District, according to CCTV. The two supercharging stations are both located in Beijing’s business area. The Dongguantou supercharging station offers a 640-kilowatt supercharging cabinet and four charging piles, allowing for the simultaneous charging of eight electric vehicles. By the end of July, domestic charging piles reached 10.604 million units, up 53% from the previous year, including 3.209 million public and 7.394 million private piles.
