China's expressways are getting a major eco-friendly glow-up! 🌍 A wave of solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is transforming highways like the Taiyuan-Xinzhou route in Shanxi Province, where slopes and service areas now double as clean energy hubs.
🚗 EV driver Liu Xia, charging her car mid-journey, told us: \"Ten years ago, charging stations were rare—now they're everywhere. No more holiday queue stress!\"
🌞 The highway’s cutting-edge photovoltaic (PV) system, certified as a national smart energy project, uses idle land to slash carbon emissions. Project manager Chen Jianwen explained: \"This isn’t just about power—it’s a blueprint for sustainable highways worldwide.\"
🔌 With charging stations becoming as common as roadside diners, China’s green highway revolution is merging futurism with functionality. Who said road trips can’t save the planet?
