China Highway EV Charging Hits 50 GWh Over First Two Days of National Day Holiday

The holiday surge in highway charging underscores how concentrated long-distance EV demand has become around peak travel windows, a pattern that stresses grid and charger availability far more than average daily usage suggests.

The open question is whether off-peak utilization can rise to justify further buildout, or whether highway charging remains a seasonal bottleneck.
