On July 1, Jiangxi Province put into operation its first integrated supercharging demonstration station featuring photovoltaic generation, energy storage, charging, discharging, battery inspection, and grid regulation in Honggutan District, Nanchang. This milestone marks a significant breakthrough in the province’s application of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
Located at a major transportation hub in Nanchang, the 5,818-square-meter station houses 36 charging/discharging bays divided into four functional zones:
V2G Demonstration Zone: As the core area, it is equipped with four 300-kilowatt central power units and 24 charging guns, supporting bidirectional power flow. This allows NEVs not only to charge, but also to “sell electricity” back to the grid when needed, enabling dynamic interaction between vehicles and the power grid.
Advanced Charging Technology Zone: Features eight ultra-fast charging bays (capable of restoring 80% battery capacity in just 10 minutes), along with four bays equipped with integrated battery health diagnostics, which automatically generate reports during the charging process.
PV-Storage-Charging Integration Zone: Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, supplying energy during peak periods and storing excess during off-peak hours. This achieves peak shaving and valley filling, reduces operational costs, and enhances environmental benefits.
Comprehensive Service Area: Provides one-stop convenience including rest areas, payment services, and applications for charging station installation. Vehicle owners can monitor real-time charging status and costs via a mobile app or onsite display screens.
The station represents a deep integration of vehicles, charging piles, facilities, and the power grid. Its launch provides essential infrastructure for the expansion of V2G applications and plays a key role in promoting the high-quality development of Jiangxi's new energy industry and the construction of a green transportation system.(Reporters: Ao Leilei, Wan Yuwei)
