Li Auto Launches Industry’s First Fully Automated Charging Station, Surpasses 5,000 5C Ultra-Fast Chargers

As of June 23, 2026, Li Auto’s ultra-fast charging network has delivered a cumulative total of 1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, serving over 39 million charging sessions. The company has built 4,092 ultra-fast charging stations nationwide, equipped with 22,573 charging piles, spanning 31 provinces and 290 cities, and connected to 160 expressways covering more than 100,000 kilometers of highway routes. Among these, over 5,000 are 5C ultra-fast charging piles, and more than 600 stations are fully equipped with 5C technology. During the May Day holiday in 2026, Li Auto accounted for over 15% of the total charging volume on China’s expressway network. Concurrently, Li Auto launched the industry’s first fully automated charging station, enabling end-to-end unmanned operations—from vehicle navigation to the station and automatic parking, to robotic arm-assisted plug-in charging and automatic plug removal and reset after charging—without requiring drivers to leave their vehicles. This feature currently supports the 2026 Li L9 model and is scheduled to be rolled out via an OTA update in Q3 2026 to users equipped with the AD Max intelligent driving system. Additionally, Li Auto’s ultra-fast charging service has expanded onto multiple platforms: its mini program is now available on Alipay, its dedicated charging cards are sold on JD.com, and Amap now supports “scan-to-charge” functionality.
