Chinese news agency Xinhua reported yesterday that the State Grid Corporation, the world’s largest electric power transmission and distribution company, is speeding up its plans to build electric car charging stations.
The electric vehicle charging stations, which cost between US$37,000 to US$44,000 each to build, will initially be placed in major cities such as Shanhai, Beijing, Taijin, and other large cities. The charging stations will initially service buses and sedans with plans to eventually cover the entire nation.
According to the ministry of science and technology, China plans to bring in 10,000 fuel cell, electric and hybrid cars as well as the infrastructure necessary to power the vehicles in 10 chosen cities around the country within two years.
