On April 28, the launching ceremony of the Guilin Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Construction Project was held in front of Guilin North Station. Five electric vehicle charging station projects, including Guilin North Station, Dingsheng Building, Dingyao Building, Charming Garden, and Yanshan Dabu, started construction at the same time. Reporters learned that Guilin Transportation Holding Group plans to invest in the construction of 43 electric vehicle charging stations this year, and it is expected to add more than 900 charging terminals.

Up to now, as the investment, construction and operation unit of the city's charging infrastructure, Guilin Transportation Holding Group has built and put into operation 23 charging stations in various urban areas of the city as well as Yangshuo, Pingle and Xing'an, with 472 direct and alternating current charging terminals and a total installed power of about 21,000 kilowatts, and has basically formed an electric vehicle charging facility network covering the main areas of the city and radiating from north to south of Guilin. In accordance with the principle of "comprehensive planning, reasonable layout, based on reality, and moderately ahead of time", this year, Guilin Transportation Holding Group plans to invest a total of about 100 million yuan throughout the year to build 43 charging stations (including 18 bus-only stations and 25 public charging stations), and add more than 900 charging terminals.
