World’s Largest EV Charging Station in China Readies Commercial Vehicles in 10 Minutes
Equipped with Microvast’s ultra-fast charging battery, a Foton electric bus can stop by a charging point where trained staff plug in the charger and within 10-15 minutes the electric bus’s battery is refilled to maximum operating capacity and is ready to go again.
No isolated trial, this process now happens everyday in many bus terminals across metropolitan Beijing. And, among all the ultra-fast charging stations, the newly opened charging station in Xiaoying Public Transit Bus Terminal is the largest.
Located in Chaoyang district, Beijing, built by China State Grid, this new charging complex covers an area of 26,500 square meters with its structures covering 1,575 square meters.
Here, size does matter. Designed to satisfy the growing charging demand especially from the increase of ultra-fast charging electric buses departing from this terminal, this complex provides the infrastructure to charge 30 buses at the same time.
Originally a natural gas hybrid bus fleet, Beijing transit route 13 with Foton buses, like ten plus other major city bus routes departed from Xiaoying Terminal, now are completely converted to an ultra-fast charging full electric bus fleet. They join hundreds of other E-buses in Beijing already deployed using the same battery technology.
From a broader perspective, Microvast is now becoming a world leader in Ultra-Fast Charging battery technology, with more than 6,500 battery system units for electric and hybrid commercial vehicles deployed worldwide.
