China Charging Alliance Report: 95.4% of EV Users Prefer DC Fast Charging

The China Charging Alliance released the "2025 EV User Charging Behavior Research Report," revealing that 95.4% of Chinese EV users prefer DC fast charging (especially above 120kW) and 87% use multiple charging operators. The report highlights a shift from rapid expansion to high-quality operations driven by user demand and technological innovation. These statistics underscore the critical need for high-power charging infrastructure and unified aggregation platforms to resolve supply-demand mismatches. Furthermore, integrating AI and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies will be essential for optimizing smart grid scheduling and improving station utilization. The report notes that EV users cross an average of six different charging operators, making digital aggregation platforms crucial for unified searching and price comparison. It also suggests deploying chargers over 120kW in core commercial areas and transport hubs while adopting AI for predictive maintenance and smart scheduling.
