The newly opened charging station, which will mainly serve the users of GAC AION’s Hyper brand, marks a milestone for both parties' cooperation. The station is equipped with seven 360kW and two 240kW charging units, totaling 50 charging terminals. Alongside providing ultra-fast charging capabilities, the station offers various amenities including car washing services, a lounge, a convenience store, and restrooms, delivering a comprehensive and considerate high-quality charging experience to users.

As a key partner of GAC Energy, Hongfei Energy has engaged in deep cooperation in areas such as resource development, station construction, joint projects, equipment sales, and cross-industry integration. Together, they have co-built over 100 supercharging terminals in Dongguan city. Looking ahead, the partnership aims to expand their efforts, with a target of jointly constructing over 300 supercharging terminals by the end of 2024.

This initiative aligns with the "Dongguan City Implementation Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Upgrades in the Energy Sector," released by the Dongguan Development & Reform Bureau on April 18, 2024, which emphasizes the need to accelerate the intelligent enhancement of electric vehicle charging and battery swapping infrastructure, said GAC Energy.
