The “Guiding Opinions on Energy Work for 2026” explicitly states that continuously promoting the extension of charging infrastructure to rural areas is a key measure for accelerating the energy transition in rural regions and supporting rural revitalization. As new‑energy vehicles become more widespread, charging demand in rural areas is steadily increasing; however, the current deployment of charging facilities still faces challenges such as uneven coverage and insufficient service capacity.

The “Guiding Opinions on Energy Work for 2026” explicitly states that continuously extending charging infrastructure to rural areas is a key measure for accelerating the energy transition in rural regions and supporting rural revitalization. As new‑energy vehicles become more widespread, charging demand in rural areas is steadily increasing; however, the current deployment of charging facilities still suffers from uneven coverage and insufficient service capacity. To address these challenges, the National Energy Administration will prioritize planning and expanding the rural charging network, giving priority to deploying fast‑charging stations in township centers, transportation hubs, tourist attractions, and other high‑traffic areas. At the same time, it will encourage the upgrading and retrofitting of existing power infrastructure to reduce construction costs. In addition, policies will promote the integrated development of charging facilities with smart grids and renewable energy, supporting the implementation of “photovoltaic‑storage‑charging” integrated projects in rural areas to enhance energy efficiency. To ensure effective implementation, relevant authorities will refine subsidy mechanisms, attract private capital, and strengthen oversight of operations and maintenance, thereby guaranteeing that charging infrastructure is both successfully built and effectively utilized. These measures will not only help alleviate the difficulties rural residents face in charging new‑energy vehicles but also stimulate related industrial chains, inject new momentum into the rural economy, and contribute to achieving the goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality.
