It is composed of a western and a back parking lot of the Hunan Expressway Group headquarter building. All of its 24 charging piles are available for the vehicles of group staff and visitors. The single charging pile power can reach 240KW to the maximum. An electric vehicle (EV) can run 300 km after a 20-minute charge.  

The charging station was built at high standard. Membrane structure shelters are equipped and slip-proof and wear-resistant epoxy terrace lacquer is used. There are also tables and chairs for drivers to take a rest.
