China’s EV charging infrastructure reaches 24.78 million units by end-September

The gap between private and public growth is the real signal here: private points are expanding far faster than public ones, which points to charging buildout increasingly tracking vehicle ownership rather than shared infrastructure. That matters for anyone reading China's charging data as a proxy for EV demand, since the private segment can inflate totals without easing access for drivers without home charging. The average connector capacity figure is the number worth tracking next: whether public capacity per connector keeps pace as the network grows is the open question.
