China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other ministries published the 15th Five‑Year Plan for the intelligent connected new‑energy vehicle (NEV) industry, directing accelerated build‑out of charging and battery‑swap infrastructure and strategic deployment of high‑power charging facilities. The plan mandates closing rural charging shortfalls and improving charging/swapping service efficiency, scaling vehicle‑grid interaction (V2G) applications while exploring sustainable business models, and coordinating NEV development with green power and green hydrogen. It also pushes wider adoption of new‑energy heavy trucks in trunk logistics and specified short‑distance transport scenarios.
