In the bustling city of Shenzhen, a green revolution is underway! 🚗⚡ At the Lianhua Hill Supercharging Station, NEV (New Electric Vehicle) owners are recharging faster than ever. Upgraded from a modest 60 kilowatts to a whopping 600 kilowatts, the station now juices up to 46 vehicles at once!
This isn't just a Shenzhen story—it's a glimpse into the future of the Chinese mainland. As of October 2024, over 25% of vehicles in the city are electric, and the numbers are soaring! 📈 Nationwide, NEV sales have skyrocketed, with more than 9.5 million sold in 2024 alone—a massive 41.2% jump from last year, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
But wait, there's more! China's embracing solar power like never before. 🌞 The country's solar power generation has outshined wind and hydro to become the second-largest power source, with installed capacity hitting 793 gigawatts by the end of October! Most of this clean energy comes from vast solar farms in the eastern and western regions.
Yang Kun, executive vice chairman of the China Electricity Council, told China Media Group (CMG), \"It's expected that the newly installed capacity of solar power will be about 250 million kilowatts in 2024. The cumulative installed capacity is set to exceed 850 million kilowatts, making up over a quarter of the country's total!\"
China's green transformation is not just a policy—it's a movement! 🌍💚 From rapid NEV adoption to massive solar investments, the future is looking bright—and we're here for it! 🙌
