Guizhou seeks to add charging facilities

In Sanhe, under Bozhou district of Zunyi, Guizhou province, local investor Song Shihua joined CATL to establish a charging and swapping power station with 20 million yuan ($2.93 million) to help drivers keep their electric vehicles powered up. Located 300 meters from Sanhe Toll Station on the G75 Lanzhou-Haikou Expressway, it can be easily accessed by EVs. In an attempt to build green infrastructure, the local Party organizations took the lead to enhance "red Party building" and boost rural vitalization. Song's company has built over 100 similar stations nationwide, with 1,000 more under construction.
