Since opening to traffic last year, a key highway section in Hebei Province has been accelerating its electric vehicle charging infrastructure. To meet the growing demand for fast, reliable charging on long distance routes, four new DC fast charging stations will be added along the main highway and are expected to become operational this year. SCU will provide over 60 EV chargers, covering 60kW, 120kW, 400kW, and 800kW DC fast charging solutions, adding more than 100 high speed charging ports across highway service areas for passenger EVs, commercial vehicles, and electric buses.
SCU EV charging solutions are tailored for different highway service areas. Some service areas will use 60kW and 120kW dual gun EV chargers, providing stable and efficient charging. Some service areas will employ 800kW split EV chargers with multiple dual gun dispensers and liquid-cooled charging dispensers. Dynamic load balancing ensures that power is distributed efficiently according to real time demand, optimizing both throughput and energy usage for all types of vehicles.
Assuming an average charging fee of ¥2/kWh for passenger EVs and ¥3/kWh for commercial vehicles, and 50% daily utilization, a major 800kW station with 40 ports can generate roughly ¥28,800 per day from passenger EVs and ¥9,000 per day from buses or trucks. The project is projected to break even in less than one year, highlighting not only the operational performance of SCU EV charging solutions but also their strong economic value. These figures demonstrate the stations ability to deliver fast returns while supporting high capacity highway traffic.
SCU not only provide EV charging solutions for passenger electric cars, but also deliver high power charging support for large commercial vehicles, including electric buses and trucks. 400kW dual gun high power EV chargers are designed to accommodate high capacity batteries, enabling fast and reliable charging for fleet vehicles. This makes the project not only suitable for private EV owners but also highly valuable for public transportation operators, logistics fleets, and commercial EV fleets along the highway.
With multi vehicle support, liquid-cooled dispensers, and dynamic load balancing, SCU EV charging stations can handle continuous, high demand charging without downtime, positioning the highway stations as a critical infrastructure hub for both personal mobility and fleet operations.
Based on typical EV battery capacities, SCU DC EV charging stations are projected to provide fast and efficient charging across the highway. Passenger EVs can fully charge in roughly 30-60 minutes on 60-120kW EV chargers, while high capacity buses and trucks benefit from 400kW or liquid-cooled fast charging solutions, reducing waiting times and improving throughput at busy service areas. With at least six ports per station and up to 40 ports at major service areas, the system can handle hundreds of vehicles daily, significantly enhancing convenience for all highway travelers.
