The Shaanxi Automobile Industry Association said on August 27, 2026, that a new fiscal subsidy plan for the construction of high-power electric vehicle charging facilities had been issued in Shaanxi. The plan, formally titled the Fiscal Subsidy Plan for the Construction of High-Power Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities in Shaanxi, was formulated by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance. Its stated purpose is to give full play to the supporting and guiding role of provincial fiscal funds and to accelerate the construction of high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure with greater speed and effectiveness.
The policy is designed to support public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that complete the full process of project registration, investment and construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation in Shaanxi during the 2026-2027 period. The scope also includes high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that support battery-swap sites. The measure is part of a broader effort to strengthen the electric vehicle charging network and to encourage investment in advanced charging equipment that can serve the growing needs of electric vehicle users.

Policy Context and Strategic Purpose
The new subsidy plan places high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure within the framework of provincial industrial funding. By using provincial industrial coordinated funds, the policy seeks to direct fiscal resources toward public electric vehicle charging projects that meet technical, procedural, and operational requirements. The approach is intended to combine financial support with clear standards, so that public funds are used for electric vehicle charging facilities that are properly registered, properly built, properly accepted, and properly operated.
The policy also reflects the importance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure as a supporting condition for the wider adoption of electric vehicle technologies. High-power charging facilities can improve the user experience of electric vehicle charging by offering greater output power at suitable locations. The subsidy plan therefore focuses on public electric vehicle charging facilities rather than on all charging equipment, and it gives particular attention to facilities that can demonstrate technical leadership and commercial operation.
At the same time, the plan is designed to avoid scattering fiscal support across projects that do not meet basic conditions. It sets out eligibility rules, technical thresholds, compliance requirements, and a review process. These elements are meant to ensure that electric vehicle charging projects supported by the provincial government are consistent with national design norms, have complete procedures, connect to the provincial platform, and do not duplicate other public funding sources. The policy therefore operates as both an incentive and a quality filter for electric vehicle charging investment.
The stated goal of accelerating high-power electric vehicle charging facilities is closely tied to the practical requirements of electric vehicle users. As electric vehicle charging demands become more diverse, public charging facilities with higher output power can serve longer-distance travel, commercial fleets, and urban drivers who need rapid charging. The subsidy plan does not create a general subsidy for all electric vehicle charging equipment; instead, it targets a defined segment of high-power public electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This targeted approach is intended to improve the effectiveness of fiscal support and to encourage project developers to adopt higher technical standards.
The policy also signals that electric vehicle charging infrastructure is being treated as an integrated system that includes project preparation, construction, acceptance, platform connection, and commercial operation. The subsidy is not limited to equipment purchase alone. It is linked to the full project process, which means that electric vehicle charging projects must demonstrate that they have passed the required stages before they can receive support. This structure is expected to strengthen project discipline and to reduce the risk of incomplete or poorly operated electric vehicle charging facilities.

Support Scope and Time Frame
According to the plan, provincial industrial coordinated funds will be used to subsidize public high-power electric vehicle charging facility construction projects that, during the period from 2026 to 2027, complete project registration, investment and construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation in Shaanxi. The scope includes high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that form part of battery-swap sites. The policy therefore covers a defined period and a defined project lifecycle, rather than providing open-ended support.
The time frame is important for electric vehicle charging investors because it links subsidy eligibility to project completion and commercial operation within the stated period. Projects must not only be planned or under construction; they must reach the stage of commercial operation after completion acceptance. This requirement places emphasis on delivery and operational readiness in the electric vehicle charging sector. It also means that project developers need to plan their electric vehicle charging investments with clear attention to registration, construction schedules, acceptance procedures, and platform connection.
The inclusion of battery-swap sites in the scope indicates that the policy recognizes high-power electric vehicle charging facilities as part of a wider energy replenishment network. Battery-swap sites may include supporting high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, and such facilities can fall within the support scope when they meet the stated conditions. This approach allows the policy to address different forms of electric vehicle energy replenishment while maintaining a focus on high-power charging equipment.
The plan applies to public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. This public dimension is significant because it directs support toward facilities that are intended to serve electric vehicle users rather than only private or restricted applications. Public electric vehicle charging facilities can play a role in extending charging coverage and improving access for drivers who do not have dedicated charging options. By focusing on public facilities, the subsidy plan seeks to generate broader benefits for the electric vehicle charging network.
The policy also specifies that projects must complete the full process in Shaanxi. This geographic requirement ensures that the fiscal support is connected to electric vehicle charging infrastructure built within the province. It also means that project registration, investment and construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation are all relevant to the eligibility determination. The full-process requirement is intended to prevent support from going to projects that are only partially implemented or that do not reach commercial operation.

Eligibility Conditions for Electric Vehicle Charging Projects
The plan states that applicants for high-power electric vehicle charging facility subsidies must meet several conditions at the same time. First, the charging facility must be direct-current high-power charging equipment, and the maximum output power of a single charging connector must be greater than 250 kilowatts, with 250 kilowatts not included. This technical threshold distinguishes high-power electric vehicle charging equipment from lower-power charging equipment and directs the subsidy toward facilities with greater output capability.
Second, the project must be constructed in accordance with national design specifications, and its procedures must be complete. After completion, the facility must be connected to the Shaanxi Smart Vehicle Networking Platform and must operate normally. These requirements connect technical design, administrative completeness, and operational integration. For electric vehicle charging projects, connection to the provincial platform is treated as part of normal operation, not as an optional add-on. The platform connection requirement also supports the monitoring and coordination of electric vehicle charging facilities.
Third, the investment entity must have no records of violations of laws or regulations in fiscal fund applications or in government-led special inspections during the previous three years. The entity must also not be included in the list of objects subject to joint disciplinary action for dishonesty. This condition places emphasis on the compliance record of the investor and is intended to ensure that public funds are provided to responsible electric vehicle charging project developers.
Fourth, the same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. This non-duplication rule is designed to prevent repeated public support for the same electric vehicle charging project. It also requires applicants to disclose and verify the funding history of their projects. The condition applies to the same project, meaning that project developers need to carefully review whether their electric vehicle charging investments have already benefited from other central or provincial charging facility funding programs.
These eligibility conditions are cumulative. A project must satisfy the technical threshold, the design and procedural requirements, the platform connection and operation requirement, the investor compliance requirement, and the non-duplication requirement. The cumulative structure is intended to make the subsidy process more rigorous and to ensure that supported electric vehicle charging facilities meet both technical and governance standards.
-
Technical and Platform Requirements
The technical threshold is one of the central features of the plan. The charging facility must be direct-current high-power charging equipment, and the single-connector maximum output power must exceed 250 kilowatts. The explicit exclusion of 250 kilowatts means that equipment exactly at that level does not qualify under this condition. The threshold is intended to focus support on electric vehicle charging equipment that can deliver higher power output and that can contribute to a high-power electric vehicle charging network.
The requirement that projects comply with national design specifications places emphasis on safety, engineering quality, and standardization. Electric vehicle charging facilities involve electrical equipment, site design, grid connection, and operational management. Compliance with national design norms is therefore a basic condition for public support. The plan also requires complete procedures, which means that project approvals, registrations, and other formal steps must be in order. These requirements are intended to reduce the risk of irregular electric vehicle charging construction.
The platform connection requirement adds an operational dimension. A project must connect to the Shaanxi Smart Vehicle Networking Platform and operate normally after completion. This requirement links the physical electric vehicle charging facility to a broader information and management platform. For electric vehicle users and network operators, platform connection can support the visibility and coordination of charging facilities. For the government, it provides a basis for confirming that the facility is operating and that it is integrated into the provincial electric vehicle charging ecosystem.
The combination of technical and platform requirements means that the subsidy is not merely a construction grant. It is tied to the quality and operation of the electric vehicle charging facility. A project that meets the power threshold but fails to complete procedures, fails to pass acceptance, or fails to connect to the platform would not satisfy the conditions. This integrated approach is consistent with the policy goal of promoting high-quality electric vehicle charging infrastructure rather than simply increasing the number of charging points.
The plan therefore encourages project developers to consider the entire electric vehicle charging project cycle. Technical design, equipment selection, construction management, acceptance testing, platform integration, and commercial operation all become relevant to subsidy eligibility. This can help align public funding with the practical requirements of a reliable electric vehicle charging network.
-
Compliance and Funding Non-Duplication Rules
The compliance conditions in the plan focus on the behavior of the investment entity and the funding history of the project. The investment entity must have no illegal or irregular records in fiscal fund applications or in government-led special inspections during the previous three years. It must also not be listed as an object of joint disciplinary action for dishonesty. These conditions are intended to protect the integrity of the subsidy process and to ensure that electric vehicle charging subsidies are provided to entities with a satisfactory compliance record.
The non-duplication rule states that the same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. This rule is important because public funding programs can overlap if projects are not carefully screened. For electric vehicle charging infrastructure, where multiple policy instruments may be available, the rule helps prevent the same project from receiving repeated support from different public sources. It also encourages applicants to provide accurate information about prior funding.
The compliance and non-duplication rules work together with the technical and operational conditions. A project may meet the power threshold and be connected to the platform, but it would still be ineligible if the investor has a disqualifying compliance record or if the project has already received other central or provincial charging facility funding. The cumulative nature of the conditions means that applicants should conduct a thorough self-assessment before submitting materials for an electric vehicle charging subsidy.
These rules also support transparency in the use of provincial industrial coordinated funds. By requiring compliance and non-duplication, the plan seeks to ensure that fiscal support is directed to eligible electric vehicle charging projects and that public resources are used in a accountable manner. The rules are not presented as optional guidelines; they are part of the eligibility conditions that must be satisfied for a project to receive support.
For electric vehicle charging investors, the compliance requirements underline the importance of record-keeping and project documentation. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their compliance history, the funding status of the project, and the project’s completion and operation status. This documentation is likely to be relevant during the joint review process and during any subsequent verification.
-
Calculation of Subsidy Power
The plan sets out a specific method for calculating the power on which the subsidy is based. The calculation uses the project’s configured high-power charging connector power and the supporting host output power. The lower of the two values, namely the total high-power charging connector power and the host output power, is used as the calculation power. This method is intended to link the subsidy to the actual configured capacity of the electric vehicle charging facility and to the capacity of the supporting equipment.
The use of the lower value is significant because it prevents the subsidy calculation from relying only on one side of the facility configuration. If the total connector power is higher than the host output power, the host output power becomes the limiting value for the calculation. If the host output power is higher than the total connector power, the total connector power becomes the limiting value. The approach therefore ties the subsidy base to the balanced capacity of the electric vehicle charging project.
The calculation power is then used to determine the one-time construction subsidy under the applicable rate. This means that project developers need to pay attention to both the number and power of high-power charging connectors and the output power of the supporting host equipment. The design of the electric vehicle charging facility should be consistent with the documented configuration, because the subsidy calculation depends on the relationship between connector power and host output power.
The plan describes the subsidy as a one-time construction subsidy. This structure provides a defined support amount based on the calculation power and the applicable standard. It does not describe an ongoing operating subsidy. The focus is therefore on supporting the construction of high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that meet the conditions and reach commercial operation.
For applicants, the calculation method means that project records should clearly show the configured high-power charging connector power and the supporting host output power. These values are central to the subsidy amount. Accurate technical documentation is therefore an important part of preparing an electric vehicle charging subsidy application.
-
Subsidy Standards and County Incentives
The plan defines support standards according to the calculation power and the technical category of the electric vehicle charging facility. To highlight technological leadership, the policy gives key support to megawatt-level charging facilities with a single-connector maximum output power of 1,000 kilowatts or above. Such facilities receive a subsidy of 80 yuan per kilowatt based on the calculation power. This higher rate is intended to encourage advanced high-power electric vehicle charging technology.
For high-power electric vehicle charging facilities with a single-connector maximum output power greater than 250 kilowatts but lower than 1,000 kilowatts, the subsidy is 50 yuan per kilowatt based on the calculation power. This category covers high-power electric vehicle charging equipment above the minimum threshold but below the megawatt-level threshold. The two-tier structure creates a distinction between megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities and other qualifying high-power facilities.
The plan also provides an additional incentive for high-power electric vehicle charging facilities located within county areas. For such facilities, an extra 10 yuan per kilowatt is added to the applicable subsidy standard. This county-level supplement is intended to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure in county areas and to encourage a more balanced distribution of high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.
The following table summarizes the support standards and related conditions based on the information in the plan.
Category Technical or Location Condition Subsidy Standard Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities Single-connector maximum output power of 1,000 kilowatts or above 80 yuan per kilowatt of calculation power Other qualifying high-power electric vehicle charging facilities Single-connector maximum output power greater than 250 kilowatts and lower than 1,000 kilowatts 50 yuan per kilowatt of calculation power County-area supplement High-power electric vehicle charging facilities within county areas An additional 10 yuan per kilowatt on top of the applicable standard Calculation basis Lower of total high-power charging connector power and supporting host output power Used as the calculation power for the one-time construction subsidy The table shows that the subsidy design combines a technology incentive with a location-based supplement. Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities receive a higher rate than other qualifying high-power facilities, and county-area projects receive an additional amount. The calculation power remains the common basis for the subsidy amount. This structure is intended to reward technical leadership while also supporting the development of high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure in county areas.
-
Application and Review Process
The plan sets out a funding application procedure that begins with the establishment of a project reserve library for high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. Project investment entities submit application materials to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. The commission, together with the Provincial Department of Finance, organizes a joint review. The joint review examines the applications and determines the proposed subsidy recipients and subsidy amounts. The proposed results are then publicized on official websites.
After the public notice period, if there are no objections, the Provincial Department of Finance disburses the funds to the relevant investment entities according to procedures. This process combines project application, interdepartmental review, public disclosure, and fund disbursement. The involvement of both the development and reform commission and the finance department reflects the policy’s dual focus on project eligibility and fiscal management.
The public notice step provides transparency in the selection of electric vehicle charging subsidy recipients. It allows proposed subsidy decisions to be disclosed before funds are disbursed. The plan states that the notice is made through official websites, and that disbursement follows after the notice period if no objections are raised. This sequence is intended to support the credibility of the subsidy process and to provide a clear procedural path for electric vehicle charging projects.
For applicants, the process requires careful preparation of project materials. The investment entity must be able to demonstrate that the electric vehicle charging project meets the technical threshold, has complete procedures, has completed acceptance, is connected to the Shaanxi Smart Vehicle Networking Platform, and is operating normally. The applicant must also address the compliance and non-duplication conditions. These elements are likely to be examined during the joint review.
The application procedure also places responsibility on project developers to follow the announced timing and submission requirements. The plan provides specific batch periods for funding applications, which means that electric vehicle charging projects need to align their documentation and project status with the relevant application window. The review and public notice process then follows the submission stage.
-
Batch Application Timetable
The plan states that funding applications will be carried out in three batches: November 2026, May 2027, and November 2027. This timetable gives electric vehicle charging project developers defined windows for submitting applications. The batch structure is intended to organize the application process and to allow projects at different stages of completion to apply at the appropriate time.
The following table presents the application batches as stated in the plan.
Batch Application Period Batch 1 November 2026 Batch 2 May 2027 Batch 3 November 2027 The timetable is relevant to electric vehicle charging projects because eligibility depends on completion acceptance and commercial operation within the 2026-2027 period. Projects that are not ready during one batch may need to consider a later batch, provided they still meet the overall policy conditions. The three-batch structure therefore provides several opportunities for qualifying high-power electric vehicle charging facilities to apply.
For project planning, the batch schedule suggests that electric vehicle charging developers should coordinate construction, acceptance, platform connection, and documentation before the relevant application period. A project that reaches commercial operation close to a batch deadline may face time pressure in preparing materials. Early preparation can help ensure that the electric vehicle charging project is ready for review when the application window opens.
The plan does not state that applications can be submitted outside the listed batches. The three specified periods are therefore the relevant application windows under the plan. Electric vehicle charging investment entities should pay close attention to the batch timetable and to any procedural announcements associated with the joint review and public notice process.
-
Project Reserve Library and Pipeline Management
The plan requires the establishment of a project reserve library for high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. This reserve library functions as a pipeline management tool for projects that may seek subsidies. By requiring a reserve library, the policy encourages project developers to prepare their electric vehicle charging projects in a structured way and to align project development with the subsidy process.
A project reserve library can help authorities track candidate electric vehicle charging projects, review their basic information, and organize the application process. It can also support coordination between project development and the batch application schedule. For investors, inclusion in the reserve library may require the submission of project information and the demonstration of project readiness. The plan states that the reserve library is to be established, and it links this step to the overall funding application procedure.
The reserve library approach is consistent with the policy’s emphasis on project quality and procedural completeness. High-power electric vehicle charging projects involve technical design, construction, acceptance, and platform connection. A reserve library can help organize information about these elements before projects enter the formal subsidy review. It can also help identify projects that are not yet ready and that may need further preparation.
For the electric vehicle charging sector, pipeline management can improve predictability. Project developers can plan their investments with a clearer understanding of the application batches and the documentation requirements. Authorities can manage the review workload across the three batches. The reserve library therefore serves both as an administrative tool and as a planning mechanism for high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The plan does not provide additional details about the internal operation of the reserve library beyond its establishment and its connection to the application process. However, its inclusion in the plan indicates that the subsidy program is intended to be implemented through a structured project pipeline rather than through ad hoc applications alone.
-
Technology Leadership and Megawatt-Level Charging
The plan explicitly states that it aims to highlight technological leadership by giving key support to megawatt-level charging facilities with a single-connector maximum output power of 1,000 kilowatts or above. These facilities receive a subsidy of 80 yuan per kilowatt based on the calculation power. The higher rate is intended to distinguish megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities from other qualifying high-power facilities.
Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities represent a higher tier of charging output. The policy’s decision to provide a higher subsidy rate for this category is a signal that advanced high-power electric vehicle charging technology is a priority. The plan does not describe additional technology requirements beyond the output threshold and the general eligibility conditions. The focus is on the single-connector maximum output power and the calculation power.
The distinction between megawatt-level facilities and other high-power facilities is reflected in the subsidy rates. Facilities at 1,000 kilowatts or above receive 80 yuan per kilowatt, while facilities above 250 kilowatts and below 1,000 kilowatts receive 50 yuan per kilowatt. This rate difference creates an incentive for project developers to consider higher-power electric vehicle charging configurations when such configurations are appropriate for their sites and business plans.
The technology leadership objective is also connected to the policy’s broader aim of promoting high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure. By supporting megawatt-level facilities, the plan seeks to encourage the deployment of advanced charging equipment that can serve high-demand electric vehicle charging scenarios. At the same time, the plan maintains support for other qualifying high-power facilities above 250 kilowatts, so the policy is not limited only to megawatt-level projects.
For electric vehicle charging investors, the megawatt-level category may be relevant when planning facilities that can accommodate very high output power. However, the plan’s conditions still apply, including design compliance, complete procedures, platform connection, normal operation, investor compliance, and non-duplication. The technology incentive therefore operates within the broader eligibility framework.
-
Market Signals for Electric Vehicle Charging Investors
The subsidy plan sends several signals to the electric vehicle charging market. First, it indicates that public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities are a priority for provincial fiscal support during the 2026-2027 period. Second, it shows that technical output power matters, with higher subsidy rates for megawatt-level facilities and a minimum threshold above 250 kilowatts. Third, it emphasizes project quality, including design compliance, complete procedures, acceptance, platform connection, and normal operation.
For investors, these signals suggest that electric vehicle charging projects should be designed with clear attention to technical configuration and documentation. A project that is technically strong but procedurally incomplete may not qualify. A project that is procedurally complete but below the power threshold may also not qualify. The policy therefore encourages an integrated approach to electric vehicle charging project development.
The county-level supplement provides an additional signal for electric vehicle charging investment in county areas. Projects located in county areas can receive an extra 10 yuan per kilowatt on top of the applicable standard. This supplement may improve the financial case for high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in county locations, while still requiring compliance with all other conditions.
The non-duplication rule also affects investment planning. Project developers should review whether their electric vehicle charging projects have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. If they have, the same project may not be eligible under this plan. This rule encourages clear funding records and careful coordination among public support programs.
The batch application timetable gives investors defined periods for submitting applications. Projects that are completed and operating before a batch can prepare their materials for that batch. Projects that are not yet ready may need to plan for a later batch within the 2026-2027 period. The timetable therefore adds a scheduling dimension to electric vehicle charging investment decisions.
-
Implementation Responsibilities and Public Transparency
The plan assigns implementation responsibilities to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance. The commission receives application materials, organizes joint review with the finance department, determines proposed subsidy recipients and amounts, and publicizes the results on official websites. The finance department disburses funds according to procedures after the public notice period if there are no objections.
This division of responsibilities combines project review and fiscal disbursement. The joint review process is intended to examine both the project-related conditions and the funding-related conditions. The public notice step adds transparency by disclosing proposed subsidy decisions before disbursement. The plan states that the notice is made through official websites, which provides a public record of the proposed support.
Public transparency is also supported by the eligibility conditions. Projects must have complete procedures, comply with national design norms, connect to the Shaanxi Smart Vehicle Networking Platform, and operate normally. These conditions create a documented basis for review. The compliance and non-duplication rules further support the integrity of the process by requiring applicants to meet conduct and funding-history standards.
The plan’s implementation structure relies on cooperation between provincial authorities and project investment entities. Applicants submit materials to the commission, and the commission works with the finance department on review and disbursement. This structure is intended to ensure that electric vehicle charging subsidies are processed through a coordinated administrative path.
For electric vehicle charging projects, the public notice and official website disclosure mean that proposed subsidy outcomes are subject to public view. This can enhance confidence in the subsidy process and provide an opportunity for objections to be raised before funds are disbursed. The plan states that disbursement follows after the notice period if no objections are raised, which establishes a clear sequence for the final step.
-
Expected Effects on Electric Vehicle Charging Networks
The subsidy plan is expected to encourage the construction of high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that meet defined technical and operational standards. By targeting public facilities above 250 kilowatts and providing higher support for megawatt-level facilities, the policy seeks to promote a more advanced electric vehicle charging network. The county-level supplement is expected to support high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in county areas.
The plan may also improve the quality of electric vehicle charging projects by linking subsidies to design compliance, complete procedures, completion acceptance, platform connection, and normal operation. These conditions encourage project developers to pay attention to the full project lifecycle. The result could be a more reliable and better-integrated electric vehicle charging network, although the actual effects will depend on project implementation and market response.
The non-duplication rule may help concentrate public support on projects that have not already received other central or provincial charging facility funding. This can broaden the reach of the subsidy program and reduce the risk of overlapping support. For the electric vehicle charging sector, the rule encourages clearer funding planning and project documentation.
The batch application schedule may support orderly project development. Projects can aim to complete construction, acceptance, platform connection, and commercial operation before a relevant batch. This can help align electric vehicle charging investment with the administrative review cycle. The reserve library can further support pipeline management and project preparation.
Overall, the plan combines fiscal support with technical, procedural, and operational conditions. It is designed to promote high-power electric vehicle charging facilities while maintaining safeguards for public funds. The policy therefore has both an incentive dimension and a quality assurance dimension for electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Shaanxi.
-
Considerations for Project Developers
Electric vehicle charging project developers considering the subsidy should first confirm that their facilities are direct-current high-power charging equipment with a single-connector maximum output power greater than 250 kilowatts. They should also determine whether the project falls into the megawatt-level category at 1,000 kilowatts or above, or the other qualifying high-power category above 250 kilowatts and below 1,000 kilowatts. The applicable subsidy rate depends on this classification.
Developers should then review the project’s design compliance and procedures. The project must be constructed in accordance with national design specifications and have complete procedures. Completion acceptance must be completed, and the facility must be connected to the Shaanxi Smart Vehicle Networking Platform and operate normally. These requirements should be addressed before the application is submitted.
Investors should also assess the compliance record of the investment entity and the funding history of the project. The entity must have no illegal or irregular records in fiscal fund applications or government-led special inspections during the previous three years and must not be on the joint disciplinary list for dishonesty. The same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field.
Developers should calculate the subsidy power using the lower of the total high-power charging connector power and the supporting host output power. This calculation power is the basis for the one-time construction subsidy. Accurate technical records are therefore essential. Projects in county areas should also consider the additional 10 yuan per kilowatt supplement.
Finally, developers should align their project timelines with the three application batches in November 2026, May 2027, and November 2027. Preparing materials in advance and maintaining clear documentation can help ensure that the electric vehicle charging project is ready for the joint review and public notice process.
-
Industry Coordination and Next Steps
The Shaanxi Automobile Industry Association’s announcement of the plan provides an industry-facing signal that high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure is receiving fiscal support. The association’s role in communicating the policy can help electric vehicle charging investors, operators, and other stakeholders understand the conditions and standards. The plan itself sets out the formal rules that will guide project applications and government review.
The next steps for electric vehicle charging market participants include reviewing project pipelines, assessing technical configurations, preparing documentation, and monitoring the batch application periods. Project developers may also need to coordinate with equipment suppliers, construction contractors, acceptance bodies, and platform operators to ensure that all conditions are met. The reserve library requirement suggests that project preparation should begin before the formal application window.
For public authorities, the next steps include establishing the project reserve library, organizing the joint review process, publicizing proposed subsidy results, and disbursing funds according to procedures. The plan provides the framework for these actions. The involvement of both the development and reform commission and the finance department indicates that the process will combine project evaluation with fiscal management.
The policy’s focus on high-power electric vehicle charging facilities reflects the growing importance of charging infrastructure in the electric vehicle ecosystem. By supporting direct-current high-power equipment, megawatt-level facilities, and county-area projects, the plan seeks to encourage a more capable electric vehicle charging network. The conditions attached to the subsidy are intended to ensure that supported projects are properly designed, completed, connected, and operated.
As the 2026-2027 implementation period proceeds, the electric vehicle charging sector in Shaanxi will have defined opportunities to seek support for qualifying public high-power facilities. The plan’s combination of technical thresholds, subsidy rates, compliance rules, and application procedures provides a clear framework for electric vehicle charging investment. The overall aim is to accelerate high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure while maintaining accountability in the use of provincial fiscal funds.
