www.chinabuses.org: It’s learned that some gas stations will be added electric charging stations in Beijing to serve as refuel and charging service stations.

Beijing is going to establish a batch of electric charging stations for city buses, coaches and cleaners etc pure electric vehicles. Currently, there are fifty pure electric city buses running in Beijing, and test charging stations are also started to use, and one of the charging stations is just a few hundred meters north to Jianxiang Bridge.

Right now there are two models of charging stations. One is like fueling gas, that is, the pure electric vehicles will be charged by professional charging machines, and the shortcoming is that vehicles have to wait for a long time; another model is to replace the batteries in the stations, and it means there must be lots of batteries reserved in the charging stations.

And small pure electric rental car fleets are going to establish within the fifth ring in Beijing. And special charging stations will be set up for them.

 
Since land-value within Beijing is comparatively high, it’s not possible to build lots of electric charging stations in Beijing. So some gas stations may need changes to add electric charging facilities.
