Multi-Channel Ecosystem Layout of Charging Stations: From Energy Supply Hubs to Value Aggregation Points

Amid the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle industry, the development of charging infrastructure has become a key factor that can either constrain or drive the sector. As more market players enter, single-channel charging services are no longer sufficient to meet demand, and the industry is rapidly evolving toward a multi-channel ecosystem layout.

1. Operational Innovation – Deep Collaboration Between Automakers and Operators

   
   

The collaboration model between charging operators and new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturers is evolving from simple equipment supply to deep ecosystem synergy. 

A typical example is the partnership between BYD and Xiaoju Charging. The two sides plan to jointly build 10,000 “Megawatt Flash Charging Stations” within three years, integrating BYD’s Megawatt Flash Charging technology with Xiaoju Charging’s network operation expertise. 

BYD’s Megawatt Flash Charging technology achieves full-scenario adaptability through “intelligent boosting,” enabling single-gun charging that is 45% faster than the industry average, and dual-gun charging that is 70% faster. 

Another path is demonstrated by Taiwan Da Power Services through the creation of the “Taiwan Mobility” ecosystem. They integrate USPACE’s parking resources, LINE GO’s mobility services, and LuxClub’s vehicle owner services, forming a comprehensive ecosystem spanning charging, shared mobility, parking, energy storage, and car rental.

2. Technological Upgrade – “PV-Storage-Charging-Discharging” Smart Microgrid 

Integrated “PV-storage-charging-discharging” technology is becoming a key choice for newly built charging stations, addressing the issues of heavy grid loads and high operating costs faced by traditional stations. 

China State Construction Engineering’s Dabao Road Chumei Supercharging Station in Shenzhen is equipped with six 600 kW liquid-cooled ultra-fast chargers, thirteen 250 kW dual-gun DC fast chargers, and two 60 kW V2G (vehicle-to-grid) charging and discharging units, enabling a 5-minute charge for a 300 km driving range. 

The station’s rooftop is fitted with 500 m² of photovoltaic panels, generating approximately 125,400 kWh annually—enough to fully charge over 2,500 NEVs. It also features self-developed energy storage systems to enhance the resilience of the regional power grid. 

Star Charge’s “Tri-Network Integration Platform” elevates technology integration to the system level. Based on the “smart charging network, scenario-based microgrid, and virtual power plant operation network,” it achieves full-chain optimization and scheduling from energy production to consumption.

3. Global Expansion – Chinese Technology Seizing Overseas Infrastructure Opportunities 

With the accelerated adoption of electric vehicles worldwide, China’s mature ultra-fast charging technologies and operational models are rapidly going global. 

Taiwan Da Power Services’ investment in USPACE has successfully entered the Japanese market. Following its acquisition of Japan’s Nokisaki, USPACE has expanded into major cities including Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka. Annual revenue in Japan has grown by 115%, and site turnover rates have increased nearly 1.8 times. 

This overseas expansion is not merely about exporting equipment—it represents the export of comprehensive operational models and ecosystem frameworks. From liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging terminals to integrated “PV-storage-charging-discharging” systems, and from intelligent management platforms to ecosystem-based operation models, these mature solutions are becoming the core competitive advantage in developing international markets.

4. Scenario-Based Solutions – Precisely Addressing Segmented Charging Needs 

With increasingly diverse user demands, scenario-based solutions for different vehicle types and customer groups have become a key direction in ecosystem development. 

The heavy-duty truck charging network is accelerating. Shenzhen’s recently launched Pingshan Park heavy-duty supercharging station is equipped with two sets of charging hosts with a total of 12 guns, supporting megawatt-level flash charging and achieving “90% charge in 15 minutes” for efficient energy replenishment. 

ST Est’s mobile charging robots provide a supplementary solution for traditional gas stations transitioning into “integrated fuel-and-electric energy hubs,” dynamically boosting charging capacity during holiday peak periods. 

For specific user groups, Nanjing Silver Age Charging Technology has developed a “Senior Version Charging App,” featuring triple-sized fonts and simplified operation buttons. Meanwhile, Wuhan’s family-friendly charging stations have set up “children’s play areas” next to mall chargers, offering free childcare services.

5. Channel Innovation – Collaborative Development and Experience Enhancement 

Charging equipment distributors and operators are rapidly entering the market through light-asset operational models such as “collaborative development.” 

A typical example is the partnership between Century United New Energy and Guangzhou Teld, where Century United has been authorized to handle sales, after-sales service, self-built, and joint-investment operations of charging stations across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, jointly improving regional market share. 

Enhancing user experience has become key to boosting customer loyalty. Guangzhou Dinen Cloud Technology has developed a “full-process experience optimization system,” launching a charging app that supports one-click reservations and contactless payments, while also introducing a “voice navigation charging” feature tailored for senior users. 

Star Charge’s “Taiyi Trading System” extends the user experience into the energy trading domain, processing distributed resource data in real time and automatically generating and executing optimal trading strategies to maximize resource returns.

From being merely “energy supply stations” to becoming value aggregation points integrating energy, data, and services, the role of charging stations is being redefined. Companies that proactively build multi-dimensional ecosystems, accurately anticipate user needs, and flexibly integrate resources will gain a strategic advantage in this value reconstruction. 

2026 China's International New Energy Vehicle Technology, Parts And Services Exhibition 

Charging Station Channel Ecosystem Cooperation Conferencewill be held on March 14, 2026, in Beijing, sharing the multi-channel ecosystem cooperation dividends of charging stations for the next five years.
