What is CPSE Shenzhen International Charging, Battery Swap & PV-Storage-Charging Expo?
CPSE Shenzhen is a trade show for the hardware and business of charging electric vehicles: charging piles, battery-swap stations, combined solar-storage-charging sites, energy storage and the companies that operate charging networks. It is run by Shanghai Heli Exhibition together with a group of industry bodies led by the Charging & Swapping 100 Forum and China Charging Pile Network, and it takes place each November at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center in Futian. The same organizer also holds a CPSE show in Shanghai in spring. The 2026 edition is the ninth in Shenzhen.
The floor covers the whole charging chain. There are AC and DC chargers, megawatt and liquid-cooled ultra-fast chargers, V2G units, e-bike charging cabinets, wireless and robotic charging, and swap stations for taxis, heavy trucks and private cars. Below that are the parts that go into chargers: power modules, charging guns, cables, relays, fuses, connectors, enclosures and billing units. Around it you'll find transformers and switchgear, storage containers and inverters, and the SaaS platforms operators use to run and bill their sites. Companies the organizer lists as notable exhibitors include the charging operator and charger maker TELD, as well as Phoenix Contact, power-module makers Infypower, UUGreenPower and Tonhe, the YKC and Kuaidian charging platforms, and VREMT, Geely's battery and e-drive arm. Component makers such as Galaxy Fuse and Weiqi relays have announced stands for 2026.
The visitors are mainly buyers. The organizer's list of previous buyer groups includes the State Grid and China Southern Power Grid (with provincial delegations), PetroChina and Sinopec, city bus operators in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Shanghai, carmakers such as BYD, XPeng, NIO, Yutong and FAW-Volkswagen, property developers such as Vanke, and banks. Alongside the exhibition run two conferences on 25–26 November: the 7th China International Charging & Swapping Operators Conference and the 5th China International EV Supercharging Conference. There are also operator awards and a supercharging product innovation award, and the Shenzhen battery technology and energy storage shows share the dates.
Shenzhen is a natural home for this show: BYD is based here, and much of the power-electronics supply chain sits in the Pearl River Delta. For overseas distributors, installers and charge-point operators, it is a compact way to compare Chinese charger and module makers and to meet the grid, oil-major and fleet buyers they sell to. In 2025 the show reported more than 800 exhibitors across about 60,000 m².
Why go
- Compare Chinese DC fast-charger, supercharger and power-module makers (TELD, Infypower, UUGreenPower, Tonhe and more) under one roof
- Source charger components (charging guns, relays, fuses, cables, enclosures) directly from factories
- See battery-swap stations for taxis, heavy trucks and passenger cars, plus solar-storage-charging systems
- Meet grid companies, oil majors, bus groups and carmakers that attend as buyers
- Two industry conferences on charging operations and EV supercharging run during the show
Our take
Pre-register so you have your badge before arriving. Futian is on metro Lines 1 and 4 (Convention & Exhibition Center station), about 30 minutes from the airport and train stations. The last day closes at 15:00, so plan meetings for the first two days.
Go if you're
- Charge-point operators and installers from China and abroad
- EV charger distributors and importers sourcing hardware
- Grid companies, oil majors, bus/taxi/logistics fleets and property developers planning charging sites
- Charger and energy-storage engineers sourcing modules and components

How to get in
- Just turn upTrade visitors can almost always register at the on-site counter. Bring your passport and a business card.
- Or pre-register onlineFree, about 3 minutes. You get a QR e-badge and skip the counter queue. Organiser's registration page ↗
- Collect your badgeShow the QR (or your passport) at the badge desk. Screenshot it first — venue Wi-Fi is slow on day one.
Trade visitors pre-register online (the organizer sends a badge in advance so you skip on-site registration)
Flying in? The visitor guide
What international buyers ask us most, in one place.
Many passports get 30 days visa-free, and 55 nationalities can use 240-hour visa-free transit via Shenzhen when flying on to a third country. Check your eligibility before booking.
Link a Visa or Mastercard to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly — booths, taxis and canteens rarely take cards. Keep ¥500 cash for samples.
Get a roaming eSIM: Google, WhatsApp and Gmail don't work on hotel or venue Wi-Fi. Suppliers will ask for your WeChat, not your email.
Pre-register, bring your passport to collect the badge, and pack 200 business cards. Photograph each card next to the booth number — you'll forget by day two.
Hall English is patchy outside the big brands. A freelance interpreter costs ¥800–1,500 a day; book a week ahead for big fairs.
Don't carry 40 kg home. SF Express and DHL counters sit in the main lobbies and will ship samples door to door from about ¥200.
Walk to a dozen business hotels in the CBD, and to the rooftop bars afterwards.
- Enter from the metro level, not the street — the badge desks are underground.
- Lunch: skip the hall canteens and walk 5 min to the malls around Shopping Park.
