Chinese EV owners found themselves in an awkward situation over the Lunar New Year holidays. “Dozens of EVs scrambling for a single charging station” and “the EV lost power five meters away from charging stations” became hot topics on Chinese social media on Feb. 9.
Numerous EVs were queued up for a charging station at the Dasheng Service Area in Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, in a video shared on Feb. 8. A driver from the neighboring province, Guangdong, expressed dismay for being unable to recharge as soon as he exited Guangdong.
