The Chinese State Grid has built and opened the largest ultra-fast EV charging station in Beijing . The 26,500 m2 EV charging complex at Xiaoying Terminal has 25 chargers at five kW and 90 chargers at 90 kW, offering fast capacity for 25 urban transit buses at the same time. Future facility and charging point expansions are already planned out for December 7, 2015 to accommodate more bus routes converting to fast charging electric vehicles. Located in Chaoyang district, Beijing, built by China State Grid, this new charging complex covers an area of 26,500 m2 with its structures covering 1,575m2. Compared to an earlier battery swapping system adopted by Beijing to experiment on improving electric bus operating efficiency and reducing down-time, the ultra-fast charging battery and charger system needs neither the investment and large storage space footprint for extra batteries, nor the high cost of automated robotic battery pack swapping infrastructure, bringing obvious advantages to customers and utility companies with more rapid Xiaoying Terminal . This is particularly timely news as it comes as Beijing declares it’s first -ever red alert for pollution.
