Shenzhen now boasts over 370,000 charging stations and more than 500 supercharging stations, making it the first city in China to exceed both the number of gas stations and fuel dispensers. In recent years, the production of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in Shenzhen has surged—from just 299,500 vehicles in 2021 to 874,700 in 2022, and reaching 1.73 million in 2023, the highest in the nation. Following its reputation as the "First City for NEVs," Shenzhen is now quickly emerging as "a city of supercharging."

Charging an electric vehicle in Shenzhen is now extremely convenient. Residents can use the "iShenzhen" mobile app to locate the nearest supercharging station, scan the QR code on the charging station, and begin charging instantly. The integrated demonstration stations, which integrate light storage and charging, and vehicle-to-network interaction, offer a maximum power output of 640 kW, making them 10 times faster than regular charging stations. Charging 100 kWh takes just 10 minutes. Typically, a household vehicle requires seven to eight hours to fully charge using a slow charging station, and one to two hours with a fast charging station. However, with a supercharging station, a vehicle can be charged to 80% or more in just 10 minutes or less, greatly enhancing the charging experience.

Shenzhen plans to further expand its new energy vehicle charging infrastructure, aiming to install 50,000 charging stations by 2024. The construction task has already surpassed the halfway mark.

In addition to infrastructure development, Shenzhen is pioneering the establishment of charging standards for electric vehicles. It was the first to release local standards for the graded evaluation of supercharging equipment and the design of supercharging stations. These standards include the introduction of terms like "supercharging equipment" and "fully liquid-cooling supercharging equipment," and established that the rated power for a single-gun supercharging unit should not be less than 480 kW.

Regarding payment for charging, Shenzhen's supercharging stations support multiple charging initiation methods, including mobile app scanning, card swiping, VIN, Bluetooth, and orderly charging. The operating service system is equipped with online top-up and payment capabilities, supporting mobile payments and UnionPay cards.

深圳已建超充站500座 超充站数量超过加油站

目前，深圳充电桩已经超过37万个，超充站已经建设了500座，是全国第一个“双超”城市（超过加油站、加油枪数量）。近几年，深圳新能源汽车的产量节节攀升——2021年产量仅29.95万辆，2022年跃升为87.47万辆，2023年以173万辆成为全国新能源汽车产量最高的城市。继“新能源汽车第一城”之后，一座“超充之城”也在加速崛起。

在深圳，给电动车充电已经是非常方便。市民打开“i深圳”手机App，就会显示距离车主最近的超充站，扫一扫充电桩上的二维码，即可提枪充电。据介绍，光储超充和车网互动一体化示范站的超充站最大功率可达640千瓦，与普通充电桩相比，充电速度可提升10倍，充100度电仅需10分钟。一辆家用车使用慢充桩充满电通常需要七八个小时，使用快充桩则只需要一两个小时，而使用超充桩可以在10分钟或者更短的时间内充电80%或以上，大大提升了充电体验。

据悉，深圳市将扩大新能源汽车充电服务覆盖，2024年力争建设充电桩5万个，目前建设任务已完成过半。

除了硬件建设，深圳也在着力打造电动车充电的多项标准。深圳在全国首次发布超充设备分级评价和超级充电站设计地方标准，在行业内率先提出“超级充电设备”“全液冷超充设备”等术语定义，并确定超充设备单枪额定功率不低于480千瓦。

在充电支付方面，深圳超充站支持多种充电启动方式，如移动客户端扫码、刷卡、VIN、蓝牙、有序充电等方式，运营服务系统应具备在线充值支付功能，支持移动支付、银联卡等支付方式。
