Beijing sets 65% target for new energy vehicle registrations by 2030
The Beijing municipal government has released its 15th Five-Year Plan, targeting a 65% share for new energy vehicle registrations and the installation of 650,000 charging points by 2030.
Beijing has published its new energy system roadmap for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), outlining a transition toward electrification in transport and energy infrastructure. The policy mandates that new energy vehicles (NEVs) must account for 65% of all newly registered automobiles in the city by the end of the term.
To support this shift, the government plans to expand the city's charging infrastructure to 650,000 units, supplemented by 1,500 high-power charging stations and 300 public battery-swapping sites. The infrastructure network is designed to cater to diverse needs, ranging from slow-charging residential hubs to rapid-charging commercial centers and highway facilities.
Beyond private vehicles, the plan targets the commercial sector by promoting 'oil-to-electric' and 'oil-to-hydrogen' vehicle conversions. The city aims to develop zero-emission freight corridors across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, targeting a 13% green transport share for goods. Additionally, the city will explore vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, allowing electric vehicle batteries to interact with the power grid as part of virtual power plant initiatives.
