To implement the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" (General Office of the State Council Document No. 39 [2020]), the "Notice on Launching the First Batch of Pilot Zones for the Full Electrification of Public Sector Vehicles" (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Joint Equipment Letter No. 23 [2023]) issued by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the "Chongqing Municipal Development Plan for Building a World-Class Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry Cluster (2022-2030)" (Chongqing Municipal Government Document No. 38 [2022]), this work plan is formulated to accelerate the electrification level of public sector vehicles in Chongqing, expedite the creation of a first-class national pilot zone for the full electrification of public sector vehicles, continuously promote the construction of a green and low-carbon transportation system, and contribute to Chongqing's construction of a world-class intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry cluster.

I. Development Goals

By the end of 2025, a pilot zone for the comprehensive electrification of public sector vehicles, characterized by "distinctive features, a sound system, and innovative development," will be established. The electrification level of public sector vehicles in the city will be significantly improved, with a cumulative promotion of over 180,000 new energy vehicles. Specifically, by 2025, the electrification rate of newly added and updated vehicles in sectors such as official vehicles, urban public transport, and taxis will exceed 90%, while the electrification rate of newly added and updated vehicles in sectors such as sanitation and postal services will strive to reach 80%, and the electrification rate of other public sector vehicles will be significantly improved. The supporting capacity of charging and battery swapping infrastructure will be significantly enhanced, with a cumulative total of over 48,000 public charging piles and over 240 battery swapping stations built and put into operation citywide, forming a high-quality charging and battery swapping infrastructure service network that is widely covered, structurally sound, functionally complete, and moderately advanced. The application of new technologies and models will be among the leading in China, with a significant increase in the scale of applications such as intelligent and orderly charging, high-power charging, and fast battery swapping. Integrated charging and storage, combined photovoltaic, energy storage, charging, and discharging applications, and vehicle-to-grid interaction will achieve large-scale application.

2. Key tasks

In residential areas, the development of charging infrastructure based on intelligent and orderly slow charging, supplemented by emergency fast charging, will be actively promoted, and the "unified construction and service" of charging infrastructure will be encouraged. In office areas and other dedicated and public areas such as the "three centers," public charging infrastructure combining supercharging, fast charging, and slow charging will be constructed according to local conditions. The construction of charging infrastructure in parking lots of large shopping malls and office buildings will continue, and the construction of dedicated charging and battery swapping infrastructure will be accelerated in industrial parks and logistics parks. The construction of integrated "charging, storage, and parking" infrastructure in tourist attractions and parks will be encouraged.
