In January 2026, GAC Energy unveiled its 2025 Ecological Service Report, marking substantial advancements in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) charging ecosystem in China. This report emphasizes the progress in ultra-fast charging technology, expansion of the nationwide network, and innovations in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems, all part of GAC Group's comprehensive strategy known as the '2⁶ Energy Action' plan.
According to the report, GAC Energy successfully operated 23,274 self-operated charging stations across 31 provinces and 211 cities by late 2025. Among these, there were 17,577 DC (direct current) charging stations that catered to 8.92 million users while delivering a remarkable 1.43 billion kWh of electricity. These numbers signify GAC Energy’s leadership in deploying 1000V high-voltage fast-charging stations, which are pivotal in supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles.
GAC Energy has focused extensively on refining its ultra-fast charging technology throughout 2025. The charging stations have been upgraded to support charging power of 640 kW, with individual stations capable of reaching capacities of 720 kW and 800 A. In May 2025, the company launched an AI-powered intelligent management cloud platform, which facilitates real-time monitoring and automated operation of the charging facilities. This innovative solution has increased the online availability of charging units to 99.2%, significantly enhancing service stability.
The charging service network has entered a phase of rapid expansion. By March 2025, GAC Energy reported over 100 million cumulative charging sessions and a user base exceeding 5 million. The company ensured a round-the-clock service that guarantees hassle-free travel for EV users. By July, GAC Energy had achieved total charging volumes of over 1 billion kWh. Furthermore, by September 2025, with more than 20,000 self-operated charging points, GAC Energy was leading the industry in terms of the number of charging stations. By November, the coverage of their charging network spanned major cities and significant corridors across China, with over 1,800 self-operated stations, effectively enabling users in urban centers to reach a charging facility within 1 kilometer.
In terms of V2G technology, GAC Energy marked a significant milestone in August 2025 by completing China’s first V2G discharging contract with a private vehicle owner. The following month, GAC established the country’s largest V2G microgrid, which averaged a daily discharge of over 11,000 kWh per station. By the end of 2025, GAC Energy’s national V2G discharge was projected to exceed 1.35 million kWh, with power trading surpassing 130 million kWh and a total reduction of carbon emissions reaching 3.43 million tons. These achievements contribute to a low-carbon and sustainable energy ecosystem.
Looking ahead to 2026, GAC Energy is committed to advancing smarter, faster, and environmentally friendly charging solutions, while building a secure and sustainable energy ecosystem that heralds the future of mobility. In a world increasingly leaning towards sustainability, GAC Energy is positioning itself at the forefront of transforming the landscape of electric mobility.
