China’s EV charging target is as huge as it is impressive – and at the rate it’s going, the country is well on its way to EV domination.
That’s not just a huge upgrade – it’s a loud and clear message to the rest of the world.
Instead of playing catch-up, the country is planning to install more than 100,000 high-speed chargers by 2027.
Yes, it’ll make EV life easier for drivers. But more than that, it shows exactly how serious China is about EV domination.

How China’s charging target is propelling them toward EV domination
The chargers in question aren’t your average plug-ins.
These are 250kW+ units – the kind that can get most EVs road-ready in just minutes.
To start, China is upgrading stations that already see heavy use during big travel periods, like Lunar New Year, with government planners and private firms working together to roll out a smart, fast, and reliable network.
The goal is simple: install reliable chargers that actually work when you need them – at least 98 percent of the time.
But that’s not all.
Power companies are reworking the grid to keep up with demand.
They’re adding solar panels and battery systems to make sure the network stays strong, even during energy spikes.
In May alone, China added 61,000 fast chargers. That’s more than some countries have in total.
By April, it had already passed 3.9 million EV chargers, with close to 400,000 added just this year.
Add this to the list of reasons why China’s car technology is miles ahead of America’s for EVs.
Bottom line: China’s EV charging target is coming up fast. And it’s not slowing down.
China’s EV charging target means it’s not just building – it’s leading
While other countries are still setting goals, China’s already deep into delivery.
This year, around 22 million EVs will be sold globally. China will account for two-thirds of those sales.
By 2030, it’s expected that 80 percent of all cars in China will be electric. By comparison, Europe is only expected to be at 52 percent by that time.
It’s clear the Chinese government isn’t waiting around for the rest of the world to catch up.
With China’s EV charging target, smart chargers, solar-backed power, and an unstoppable rollout pace, EV domination feels less like a headline and more like a glimpse of what’s next.
While the rest of the world talks strategy, China’s already plugging into the future.
