Shenzhen — the city where BYD is headquartered — has become the first city in China to see the number of supercharging stations outnumber gas stations, as well as the number of charging guns outnumber gas guns, the Shenzhen Economic Daily report noted.
Shenzhen has seen the number of supercharging stations in the city nearly double the number of gas stations, as about 77 percent of new car sales are contributed by new energy vehicles (NEVs).
To date, Shenzhen has built a total of 550 supercharging stations, twice the number of gas stations in the city, according to a report today in the Shenzhen Economic Daily. According to data released by the Commerce Bureau of Shenzhen, there were 298 gas stations in the city.
The city aims to have 1,000 supercharging stations by the end of 2024, according to a local government work report from earlier this year.
Shenzhen is one of the most policy-friendly cities for NEVs and has one of the highest penetration rates for such models.
