China plans to construct 100,000 new charging points to support the growing new energy vehicle (NEV) market, including the installation of at least 2020 public chargers and some 150,000 non-public chargers. The non-public offering will include company charging points as well as taxi, bus and commercial vehicle charging points. China currently has some 150,000 public NEV charging points in operation. In late 2015, there were only 30,000 charging points in China. The points, due to be placed in cities and along highways, will continue to be installed at breakneck pace until at least 2020 to create enough capacity to support at least 2020 NEVs.
