GAC Energy has published its 2025 Ecological Services Report, outlining major progress in ultra-fast charging, nationwide infrastructure growth, and vehicle-to-grid applications, all aligned with GAC Group’s “2⁶ Energy Action” initiative. This strategy guides the development of a fully integrated new energy vehicle ecosystem covering the entire value chain.
By the end of 2025, GAC Energy had deployed 23,274 company-operated charging units across 31 provinces and 211 cities, including 17,577 DC fast chargers. Its network comprised 1,956 charging stations, supporting 8.92 million registered users and delivering a total of 1.43 billion kWh of electricity, while setting industry benchmarks in 1000V high-voltage fast-charging equipment.
Throughout the year, the company continued to advance its ultra-fast charging capabilities. Charging units were upgraded to 640 kW, with single-connector output reaching up to 720 kW and currents as high as 800 A. In May, GAC Energy launched an AI-enabled cloud management platform to oversee real-time operations and automated control, boosting equipment uptime to 99.2% and significantly improving network reliability.
GAC Energy’s charging network also entered a rapid scale-up phase. By March 2025, cumulative charging sessions exceeded 100 million, supported by more than 5 million users and round-the-clock service coverage. GAC notes that total electricity delivered passed 1 billion kWh in July, and by September the company became the industry leader in self-operated charger count after surpassing 20,000 units. By November, the network had expanded to major metropolitan areas and key transport corridors nationwide, with over 1,800 self-operated stations in operation, enabling most urban users to access a charging site within one kilometer.
In vehicle-to-grid development, the company notes that it achieved several milestones, including China’s first recorded V2G discharge transaction by a private vehicle owner in August 2025. One month later, it completed construction of the country’s largest V2G microgrid, where individual stations now average more than 11,000 kWh of daily discharge. By year’s end, nationwide V2G discharge volume had surpassed 1.35 million kWh, electricity trading exceeded 130 million kWh, and cumulative carbon reductions reached 3.43 million tons, reinforcing the company’s role in building a low-carbon energy ecosystem.
Looking ahead to 2026, GAC Energy reports that it plans to further accelerate innovation, focusing on smarter systems, higher charging performance, and greener solutions, while continuing to strengthen a secure and sustainable energy infrastructure for the next generation of mobility.
