Today (20th) is the seventh day of the Spring Festival Transport. Data from the 2025 Comprehensive Transportation Spring Festival Transport Work Class show that since the launch of the Spring Festival Transport on January 14, as of January 19, the total cross-regional movement of people across society has exceeded 1 billion.
Among them, road travel accounts for nearly 80%. The Ministry of Transport has established a dispatching guarantee mechanism for busy highway charging service areas during major holidays to maximize the charging needs of new energy vehicles.
During this year’s Spring Festival, the Ministry of Transport established a dispatching guarantee mechanism for busy highway charging service areas during major holidays. Fast charging facilities of 120 kilowatts and above are widely used in highway service areas across the country. Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other provinces have also built 600 kilowatts to 800 kilowatts. The kilowatt super charging station tries to meet the needs of short-term fast charging. Sichuan, Hunan, Xinjiang and other provinces (regions) have introduced mobile charging robots into highway service areas, realizing the transformation from “people looking for piles” to ” piles looking for people”.
Hua Lei, Director of the Road Network Management Division of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport: In some service areas with large traffic volume, we collaborate with relevant departments to continuously optimize and improve charging capabilities. We formulate a charging service guarantee plan for “one area, one policy” and equip mobile charging stations according to local conditions. Emergency charging equipment, strengthen on-site guidance and information services. It is expected that before the Spring Festival, various regions will accelerate the investment in a number of charging facilities to better ensure the convenient travel of new energy vehicle owners.
On the Jiangsu section of the Changshen Expressway, at around 2 p.m., as the traffic volume increased, the expressway vehicles slowed down. This expressway is the only way to go through Shanghai and Zhejiang to Nanjing, Anhui, Henan and other directions. In the high-speed Tianmu Lake service area, the number of vehicles entering the area has increased from the usual 4,500 to nearly 9,000. The reporter observed that many new energy vehicles have entered the service area charging station one after another, basically meeting the requirements of stop, charge and go.
New energy car owners: There are four or five normal service areas. I saw a lot here, more than a dozen charging piles, and I charged them after waiting for two minutes.
In addition, while adding mobile charging equipment in the service area, it also strengthens resource sharing to ease charging queue pressure.
Wu Zheng, Director of Tianmu Lake Service Area: We have posted reminder signs. If there is a vehicle charging congestion, we recommend that drivers and passengers get off the nearest expressway and go to a public area three kilometers away from the service area to charge.
