The supercharging network comprises 650 stations along highways, catering to the needs of long-distance travelers. In addition, Li Auto has expanded its urban supercharging network to 550 stations in 77 cities across China, making it easier for urban NEV users to charge their vehicles.
To enhance the operational efficiency of their charging stations, Li Auto has introduced a new policy. In response to feedback from vehicle owners about charging spots being occupied by fully charged vehicles, the company will implement an overstay fee at all supercharging stations starting in mid-December 2024.
This new policy is aimed at optimizing the utilization of charging facility resources, ensuring that all users have access to charging services. The overstay fee will apply to all NEV brands, and detailed guidelines on the fee structure and how to check for overstay charges will be provided in the upcoming pilot operation announcement.
Li Auto’s continuous efforts to expand and improve their supercharging network demonstrate their commitment to providing reliable and convenient charging solutions for electric vehicle owners in China.
