GAC Energy Announces 2025 EV Charging Ecosystem Report

GAC Energy recently released its 2025 Ecological Service Report, showcasing remarkable progress in the realm of electric vehicle (EV) charging technologies and infrastructure. With a commitment to revolutionizing this sector, GAC Energy has strategically aligned with its "2⁶ Energy Action" plan, aiming to develop a robust ecosystem for new energy vehicles (NEV) across China.

Key Highlights of the Report

As of late 2025, GAC Energy boasts an impressive network of 23,274 self-operated charging stations spanning 31 provinces and 211 cities. This includes 17,577 DC fast charging stations, which have successfully catered to 8.92 million users. These facilities generated an astounding 1.43 billion kWh of electricity, setting a benchmark in the industry for high-voltage charging stations, operating at 1000 V.

Technological Advancements

In its pursuit of continuous improvement, GAC Energy has bolstered its ultra-fast charging capabilities throughout the year. Notable upgrades include the enhancement of charging stations to 640 kW, with individual connector capacities reaching 720 kW and 800 A. In May 2025, the launch of an AI-driven cloud management platform enabled real-time monitoring and automated operations. This innovation has elevated the operational availability of charging equipment to an impressive 99.2%, significantly boosting service reliability.

The rapid growth of GAC's charging service has seen it surpass 100 million charging sessions by March 2025. The user base has exceeded 5 million, with a 24/7 service model ensuring seamless travel experiences. By July, the cumulative charging volume exceeded 1 billion kWh, and by September, the number of autonomous charging stations joined the ranks of industry leaders with more than 20,000 installations. In November, GAC’s charging network expanded to cover major cities and travel corridors, ensuring that users can reliably reach a charging point within 1 km in urban areas.

Innovations in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology

GAC Energy is making strides in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology as well. In August 2025, it marked a significant milestone by completing China’s first ever private V2G discharge order. By September, GAC unveiled the largest V2G microgrid in the country, averaging a daily discharge of over 11,000 kWh per station. By the end of 2025, GAC’s national V2G discharge volume topped 1.35 million kWh, with energy trading exceeding 130 million kWh and a total carbon reduction of 3.43 million tons. This progress contributes to a more sustainable and low-carbon energy ecosystem.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into 2026, GAC Energy remains committed to accelerating the development of smarter, faster, and more environmentally-friendly charging solutions. The focus on building a secure and sustainable energy ecosystem will help drive the future of mobility, aligning with global efforts towards achieving a cleaner energy landscape.

In conclusion, GAC Energy’s 2025 Ecological Service Report underscores its vital role in shaping the future of electric vehicle infrastructure in China. With relentless improvements in technology, network expansion, and a commitment to sustainability, GAC is setting the stage for a greener future in transportation.
