Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if China's public EV charging capacity exceeds 300 million kilowatts by the end of 2027. Resolution will be determined by official data from China's National Energy Administration (NEA), available at https://www.nea.gov.cn/. The metric is measured in kilowatts (kW) of combined rated power capacity for public charging facilities.

Background

China's National Energy Administration released the "Three-Year Action Plan for Doubling the Service Capacity of Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities (2025–2027)," which aims to provide more than 300 million kilowatts of public charging capacity and expand the national charging network to around 28 million facilities by the end of 2027. As of October 2025, the combined rated power of public EV charging facilities was approximately 203 million kilowatts, meaning China needs to add roughly 97 million kilowatts over the next two years. Public charging capacity increased 59.2% from the start of 2025 to September 2025, demonstrating strong momentum toward the target.

Considerations

The 300 million kilowatt target specifically refers to public charging capacity, not private charging infrastructure. The average power of public charging facilities is currently around 45.5 kilowatts, but the plan calls for accelerating construction of high-power charging facilities, with a goal to install 1.6 million new DC fast chargers in urban areas by 2027, including 100,000 high-power chargers. This shift toward higher-power infrastructure is critical to reaching the capacity target.
