As of July 2024, Pingshan has 20 electric vehicle (EV) supercharging stations completed, with seven stations currently under construction, and nearly 40 supercharging station projects in the pipeline. These stations are primarily situated at the convention and exhibition center, government service locations, parks, industrial parks, and bus terminals. EV drivers can conveniently locate charging stations using map apps or the "i深圳" app.

On map apps, simply search for "超充" (super fast charging) or "充电" (charging) to access a list of nearby charging stations. By selecting a station, users can view pricing, availability, and obtain precise directions to the desired location.

Alternatively, on the "i深圳" app, searching for "超级快充" (super fast charging) enables users to explore nearby charging stations and check available ports. The app offers search options for "super fast," "fast," "slow," and "European standard" charging stations. A passenger car takes 7 to 8 hours to fully charge using a slow-charging station, 1 to 2 hours using a fast-charging station, while a supercharging station can charge 80% or more in 10 minutes or less.

Upon choosing a station, users can tap the navigation button for direct routing. By selecting "扫码充电" on the app, users can scan a QR code on the charging port for immediate access to the charging interface. Additionally, the app provides information on pricing, availability, and amenities such as convenience stores or restrooms at each station.
