In total, there are 43 additional EV charging stations installed, of which 7 are quick charging stations, 36 are medium-speed charging stations, providing charging service to EVs at 50 parking spaces.

Pure EV offers a number of great benefits over conventional gasoline vehicles, including “zero emissions”, which can improve roadside air quality and reduce health problems caused by air pollution. Driving an EV means less noise pollution as EV is very quiet on the road; the operation of EV is generally the same as ordinary vehicles. For the same vehicle, the cost of electricity that EV consumes is around one third of the cost of purchasing gasoline, which means every ride is now much cheaper. With the absence of exhaust systems, starter motors, fuel injection systems, radiators and many other parts, EV owners can save a lot in vehicle maintenance compared with conventional vehicles.
