Shaanxi Introduces One-Time Construction Subsidies for Public High-Power Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities

The Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Finance have jointly issued a scheme for fiscal subsidies for the construction of high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. The scheme relies on provincial industrial coordinated funds and provides a one-time construction subsidy to eligible public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. It sets a defined support window, establishes eligibility conditions for electric vehicle charging projects, creates a calculation method for subsidy power, and applies tiered subsidy rates. High-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations are also included within the subsidy object.

  • Policy Release and Support Window

The scheme was jointly issued by the provincial development and reform commission and the provincial department of finance. It uses provincial industrial coordinated funds as the funding basis for one-time construction subsidies. The published measure is directed at public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that meet the scheme’s conditions. The support is structured as a one-time construction subsidy rather than an ongoing operating subsidy.

The support scope is time-bound. It covers projects in Shaanxi that complete filing, investment construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2027. Within that period, the electric vehicle charging project must be located in Shaanxi and must satisfy the published procedural and operational requirements. The scheme therefore ties eligibility to completed project steps and commercial operation, not merely to planned or proposed electric vehicle charging capacity.

The scheme applies to public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. It also expressly includes high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations as subsidy recipients. This means that supporting high-power electric vehicle charging facilities at battery swap stations fall within the published subsidy object, while still being subject to the eligibility conditions and calculation rules set out in the scheme.

The support window is limited to projects completed and placed into commercial operation within the stated dates. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the scheme establishes a clear boundary between projects that fall within the support scope and those that do not. The published details identify filing, investment construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation as elements of the support scope.

  • Eligibility Conditions for Electric Vehicle Charging Projects

To receive the one-time construction subsidy, an electric vehicle charging project must satisfy several conditions at the same time. The scheme does not treat public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities as automatically eligible. Instead, it requires the facility, the project, the investor, and the funding history to meet the published tests.

  1. The charging facility must use DC high-power charging equipment, with a single-gun maximum output power above 250 kW, excluding 250 kW.
  2. The electric vehicle charging project must meet national design specification requirements, have complete procedures, and after completion be connected to the Shaanxi smart vehicle networking platform and operate normally.
  3. The investor must have no illegal or non-compliant records in fiscal fund applications or government-led special supervision and inspection in the past three years, and must not be included in the list of dishonest joint punishment targets.
  4. The same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field.

The first condition establishes a technical threshold for electric vehicle charging equipment. The facility must be a DC high-power charging facility, and the single-gun maximum output power must exceed 250 kW. The scheme expressly excludes 250 kW from eligibility. This threshold applies to the electric vehicle charging facility seeking the construction subsidy.

The second condition links subsidy eligibility to design, procedure, and platform integration. The public high-power electric vehicle charging project must comply with national design specifications and must have complete procedures. After completion, it must be connected to the Shaanxi smart vehicle networking platform and must operate normally. These requirements apply to the electric vehicle charging facility as part of the eligibility test.

The third condition concerns the investor’s record. The investor must have no illegal or non-compliant records in fiscal fund applications or in government-led special supervision and inspection during the past three years. The investor must also not be included in the list of dishonest joint punishment targets. These compliance requirements apply to the entity behind the public high-power electric vehicle charging project.

The fourth condition prevents duplicate funding. The same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, this condition requires a check against other central or provincial charging facility funding sources before the one-time construction subsidy can be granted.

  • Calculation of Subsidy Power for Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities

The scheme sets a specific calculation method for the subsidy power of eligible electric vehicle charging facilities. The calculation is based on the power of the high-power charging guns configured for the project and the output power of the supporting host. The scheme uses the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the host output power as the calculation power.

This means that the subsidy calculation for a public high-power electric vehicle charging facility is not based on the higher of the two values. The total high-power charging gun power and the supporting host output power are both considered, and the smaller value becomes the calculation power. The applicable subsidy rate is then applied to that calculation power.

The calculation method applies to the electric vehicle charging project as configured. It links the subsidy base to both the gun-side charging capacity and the host-side output capacity. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the published formula therefore uses a cross-check between configured high-power charging gun power and supporting host output power.

The scheme describes the calculation power as the minimum of the total high-power charging gun power and the host output power. This is the value used for the one-time construction subsidy calculation. The single-gun maximum output power is separately relevant because it determines which subsidy tier applies to the electric vehicle charging facility.

  • Tiered Subsidy Rates and County Adjustment

The scheme applies tiered one-time construction subsidy rates to eligible public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. Facilities with a single-gun maximum output power of 1000 kW and above are described as megawatt-level charging facilities and receive key support. For these facilities, the subsidy rate is 80 yuan per kW of calculation power.

Facilities with a single-gun maximum output power above 250 kW but below 1000 kW are treated as high-power electric vehicle charging facilities under the scheme. For these facilities, the subsidy rate is 50 yuan per kW of calculation power. The threshold structure therefore separates megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities from other eligible high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.

The scheme also provides a county-area adjustment. High-power electric vehicle charging facilities within county areas receive an additional 10 yuan per kW on top of the applicable subsidy standard. This additional amount applies to the calculation power under the published rules. The county-area adjustment is added to the base rate for the relevant tier.

Single-gun maximum output power Policy category under the scheme Subsidy rate applied to calculation power Additional rate in county areas
1000 kW and above Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facility; key support 80 yuan per kW Plus 10 yuan per kW
Above 250 kW and below 1000 kW High-power electric vehicle charging facility 50 yuan per kW Plus 10 yuan per kW
250 kW or below Does not meet the published single-gun output threshold Not eligible under the published threshold Not applicable

The table summarizes the published thresholds and rates. It shows that the single-gun maximum output power determines whether an electric vehicle charging facility falls into the megawatt-level tier or the other eligible high-power tier. The calculation power is then used with the applicable rate. In county areas, the additional 10 yuan per kW is applied on top of the relevant standard.

The scheme’s rate structure is therefore composed of a threshold test, a calculation-power test, and a county-area adjustment. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the published terms make the single-gun maximum output power central to identifying the applicable tier. The calculation power, based on the lower of gun power and host output power, is central to the subsidy amount.

  • Project Procedures and Platform Connection

The scheme requires eligible electric vehicle charging projects to meet national design specification requirements and to have complete procedures. These are eligibility conditions for the one-time construction subsidy. Public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities must therefore be documented and completed in line with the published procedural requirements.

After completion, the electric vehicle charging facility must be connected to the Shaanxi smart vehicle networking platform and must operate normally. This platform connection is part of the eligibility test. The scheme links the subsidy for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities to normal operation after connection to the platform.

The procedural conditions apply alongside the technical threshold and the compliance conditions. An electric vehicle charging project that meets the power threshold but lacks complete procedures or platform connection would not satisfy the published eligibility conditions. The scheme therefore combines technical, procedural, operational, and compliance tests for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.

The requirement for normal operation after platform connection also applies to high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. These supporting high-power electric vehicle charging facilities are included within the subsidy object, and the published eligibility conditions remain relevant to them.

  • Compliance, Duplication Checks and Fiscal Discipline

The scheme places compliance conditions on the investor and the project. The investor must have no illegal or non-compliant records in fiscal fund applications or government-led special supervision and inspection in the past three years. The investor must also not be included in the list of dishonest joint punishment targets. These conditions apply to the entity seeking the one-time construction subsidy for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.

The scheme also requires that the same project has not received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. This duplication check applies to the electric vehicle charging project. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the one-time construction subsidy is therefore subject to a funding-history review.

The compliance and duplication conditions operate together with the technical and procedural requirements. The scheme does not limit eligibility to the physical electric vehicle charging equipment alone. It also examines the investor’s record and the project’s funding history. These published conditions apply to public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities and to high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations.

The one-time construction subsidy is therefore structured around a set of cumulative conditions. An eligible electric vehicle charging project must satisfy the power threshold, the design and procedure requirements, the platform connection and normal operation requirement, the investor compliance test, and the no-duplicate-funding test. The scheme presents these as conditions for receiving the subsidy.

  • Battery Swap Station Supporting Facilities

The scheme expressly includes high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations within the subsidy object. This inclusion means that high-power electric vehicle charging facilities configured as supporting facilities for battery swap stations can be considered for the one-time construction subsidy. They remain subject to the published eligibility conditions and calculation rules.

The inclusion of battery swap station supporting facilities is part of the support scope. The scheme does not limit the subsidy object only to standalone public high-power electric vehicle charging stations. It also covers high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. The same published conditions apply to these supporting high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.

For such supporting facilities, the scheme’s technical threshold, design and procedure requirements, platform connection requirement, investor compliance test, and no-duplicate-funding condition remain relevant. The calculation power is determined using the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the host output power. The tier is determined by the single-gun maximum output power, and the county-area adjustment applies where relevant.

  • Geographic and Temporal Boundaries

The scheme is geographically limited to Shaanxi. The electric vehicle charging project must be completed in Shaanxi within the support window. The support window runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. The project must complete filing, investment construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation within that period.

The county-area adjustment adds a geographic dimension to the subsidy calculation. High-power electric vehicle charging facilities within county areas receive an additional 10 yuan per kW on top of the applicable standard. The scheme therefore distinguishes county-area public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities from those outside county areas for the purpose of the additional rate.

The temporal boundary applies to the project steps identified in the scheme. Public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that complete the relevant steps within the support window and satisfy the other conditions fall within the published support scope. The scheme’s one-time construction subsidy is thus tied to the stated period and location.

It covers the issuing bodies, funding basis, support type, support period, geography, eligible facilities, technical threshold, procedural conditions, platform condition, investor record, duplicate-funding rule, calculation power, tiered rates, and county-area addition. The table uses only the details published in the scheme.

  • How the Published Formula Works in Practice

The scheme’s formula can be understood through the sequence of published tests. First, the electric vehicle charging project must fall within the support scope: it must be in Shaanxi, complete the identified steps within the support window, and involve eligible public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities or high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. Second, it must satisfy the technical threshold, design and procedure requirement, platform connection and normal operation requirement, investor compliance test, and no-duplicate-funding condition.

Once eligibility is established, the subsidy calculation uses the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the supporting host output power. That lower value is the calculation power. The single-gun maximum output power then determines whether the electric vehicle charging facility falls into the 80 yuan per kW tier or the 50 yuan per kW tier. If the facility is in a county area, an additional 10 yuan per kW is added to the applicable standard.

The scheme therefore separates the eligibility test from the calculation test. The technical threshold, procedural conditions, platform connection, investor record, and duplicate-funding rule determine whether the public high-power electric vehicle charging project can receive the one-time construction subsidy. The calculation power and tier determine the subsidy base and rate. The county-area adjustment applies after the relevant tier is identified.

For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the scheme’s published structure is cumulative. A project cannot rely on the power threshold alone. It must also meet the design, procedure, platform, investor, and funding-history conditions. The calculation power is then based on the lower of gun power and host output power, and the tier is based on single-gun maximum output power.

  • Platform Integration and Operational Readiness

The scheme requires eligible electric vehicle charging facilities to be connected to the Shaanxi smart vehicle networking platform and to operate normally after completion. This condition applies to public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities and to high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. It links the one-time construction subsidy to platform integration and normal operation.

The platform condition is part of the published eligibility test. The scheme also requires the electric vehicle charging project to meet national design specifications and to have complete procedures. These requirements apply before the project can be considered for the one-time construction subsidy. The combination of design, procedure, platform, and operation conditions is part of the scheme’s policy design for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities.

For project sponsors, the published terms make platform connection and normal operation part of the eligibility pathway for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. The scheme does not present the platform condition as separate from the subsidy; it is one of the conditions that must be met. The same applies to the design specification and complete procedure requirements.

  • Investor Record and Funding History

The scheme examines the investor’s record over the past three years. The investor must have no illegal or non-compliant records in fiscal fund applications or government-led special supervision and inspection. The investor must also not be included in the list of dishonest joint punishment targets. These conditions apply to the entity behind the public high-power electric vehicle charging project.

The scheme also examines the project’s funding history. The same project must not have received other central or provincial funding support in the charging facility field. This condition applies to the electric vehicle charging project seeking the one-time construction subsidy. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the scheme therefore combines an investor record test with a project-level duplicate-funding test.

The investor record and funding history conditions are cumulative with the technical, procedural, and platform conditions. The scheme does not present them as alternatives. An eligible public high-power electric vehicle charging project must satisfy the published conditions together. The one-time construction subsidy is therefore subject to both entity-level and project-level checks.

  • County-Area Treatment for High-Power Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities

The scheme provides an additional 10 yuan per kW for high-power electric vehicle charging facilities within county areas. This amount is added to the applicable subsidy standard. For a megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facility with single-gun maximum output of 1000 kW and above, the county-area addition is applied on top of the 80 yuan per kW rate. For an eligible high-power electric vehicle charging facility above 250 kW and below 1000 kW, the addition is applied on top of the 50 yuan per kW rate.

The county-area adjustment is part of the published rate structure. It applies to high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in county areas. The scheme does not alter the calculation power method for county areas; the calculation power remains the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the supporting host output power. The additional 10 yuan per kW is then applied to that calculation power under the relevant tier.

The county-area treatment is one of the scheme’s published geographic features. It works together with the single-gun output threshold and the calculation power rule. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in county areas, the published terms therefore include a base tier rate plus the additional county-area amount.

  • Public High-Power Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities and the Subsidy Object

The scheme’s subsidy object is public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities. The published details also include high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. The scheme’s conditions and calculation rules apply within this subsidy object. The support is a one-time construction subsidy drawn from provincial industrial coordinated funds.

The scheme does not describe the subsidy as a general grant for all electric vehicle charging equipment. It is framed around public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities that meet the published conditions. The technical threshold, design and procedure requirements, platform connection, investor record, and duplicate-funding rule are part of that framing. The calculation power and tiered rates are also part of the published structure.

For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the scheme’s published details therefore provide a defined pathway: fall within the support window and geography, meet the eligibility conditions, calculate the subsidy power using the lower of gun power and host output power, identify the tier by single-gun maximum output power, and apply the county-area addition where relevant.

  • Published Rates and Calculation Power in Summary

The scheme’s rate structure uses the calculation power as the base. The calculation power is the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the supporting host output power. The single-gun maximum output power determines the applicable tier. Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities with single-gun maximum output of 1000 kW and above receive 80 yuan per kW of calculation power. Other eligible high-power electric vehicle charging facilities above 250 kW and below 1000 kW receive 50 yuan per kW of calculation power. County-area high-power electric vehicle charging facilities receive an additional 10 yuan per kW.

This structure applies to public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities and to high-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations. The scheme’s published conditions must be met before the one-time construction subsidy is calculated. The calculation power method and tiered rates are then applied under the published rules.

The scheme therefore combines a defined support scope, cumulative eligibility conditions, a calculation power formula, tiered rates, and a county-area addition. For public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities, the published details provide the basis for assessing whether a project falls within the subsidy object and how the one-time construction subsidy is calculated.

  • Editorial Summary of the Published Scheme

The scheme establishes a time-limited, location-specific, and condition-based one-time construction subsidy for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in Shaanxi. It is funded through provincial industrial coordinated funds. The support window runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. Eligible projects must complete filing, investment construction, completion acceptance, and commercial operation within that period and must satisfy the published conditions.

The scheme sets a technical threshold for DC high-power charging equipment: single-gun maximum output power must be above 250 kW, excluding 250 kW. It requires compliance with national design specifications, complete procedures, connection to the Shaanxi smart vehicle networking platform, and normal operation. It also requires the investor to have no illegal or non-compliant records in fiscal fund applications or government-led special supervision and inspection in the past three years, not to be included in the list of dishonest joint punishment targets, and the same project not to have received other central or provincial charging facility funding.

The calculation power is the lower of the total high-power charging gun power and the supporting host output power. Megawatt-level electric vehicle charging facilities with single-gun maximum output of 1000 kW and above receive 80 yuan per kW of calculation power. Other eligible high-power electric vehicle charging facilities above 250 kW and below 1000 kW receive 50 yuan per kW of calculation power. County-area high-power electric vehicle charging facilities receive an additional 10 yuan per kW.

High-power charging facilities supporting battery swap stations are included within the subsidy object. They remain subject to the published eligibility conditions and calculation rules. The scheme therefore provides a defined policy framework for public high-power electric vehicle charging facilities and supporting high-power electric vehicle charging facilities at battery swap stations during the stated support period.
