Beijing plans to establish 10,000 public charging spots for electric cars by 2017, the municipal government announced on Friday.
The
charging facilities will be installed in airports and train stations, public
parking lots, mall and supermarket parking lots, highway rest areas, electric
car stores and gas stations, according to an electric car promotion plan
published by Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission.
Zhang
Jihong, deputy head of the commission, said that a network of charging devices
for electric cars will be established within the fifth ring road of the city.
According
to the plan, Beijing also plans to introduce private charging facilities.
The Chinese
government has been encouraging consumers to buy electric vehicles as one of
the solutions to the country's pollution problems, but the plan has been
hindered by a bottleneck in the country's charging infrastructure.
