Shouguang: the National-Day travel surge story reaches the street
In Shouguang, National-Day travel surge is moving from headlines into daily life. During the October 1-5 holiday, 902,300 charging sessions ran through the XPeng platform, and on October 5 NIO completed over 183,600 battery swaps in a single day, a record high. For Shouguang, sinking chargers into markets, health centers and government halls fits real demand far better than isolated posts.
Policy sets the targets
On September 24, 2025, six departments including the NDRC and the National Energy Administration issued the Three-Year Doubling Action Plan for EV Charging Service Capacity (2025-2027) (NDRC Energy [2025] No. 1250). It targets 28 million charging facilities, over 300 million kW of public capacity and service for more than 80 million EVs by end-2027, through public upgrades, highway retrofits and rural gap-filling.
The sector's real contest has shifted from having chargers to making them good. Early land-grabbing fixed coverage but left broken, isolated piles; now policy and technology push competition from scale toward service. Whoever runs solid operations, open data and clear billing holds the next edge.
On the ground in Shouguang
In Shouguang, Dongdian Huichong (Dongshang New Energy) runs 7x24 smart monitoring with a local operations team, offering integrated survey, build and managed-service charging for communities and public sites. Placing chargers at markets, health centers and government halls turns a dedicated trip into a convenient top-up on the way.
