Are there no power outlets on bullet trains?

There are power outlets on bullet trains. Locations: In second-class seats of bullet trains, power outlets are located under the seats or behind the front seat backs. Additionally, there are independent sockets on the wall panels facing the seats at both ends of the carriage. Note: Currently, the carriage sockets are limited to small-power devices such as mobile phones and laptops. Bullet Train: (Full name: Power Vehicle) refers to a locomotive or carriage that operates on rails, equipped with a driving device and capable of generating a certain amount of traction. Classification: There are two main categories: one is a single locomotive, which is only responsible for vehicle traction and does not have transport functions; the other is a power carriage, which not only has traction capability but also transport functions, allowing it to carry passengers or goods.

I often travel by high-speed rail for business trips, and there are actually quite a few charging ports on the trains, usually located under the seats or on the side of the armrests. In second-class seats, the sockets might be on the floor between two seats, requiring you to bend down to see them, while first-class and business-class seats have a small panel hidden in the armrest. Some trains also have public charging ports at the ends of the carriages, and occasionally near the washbasins. However, if a charging port is broken or has poor contact, you might need to try another seat or ask the train attendant for help. I make it a habit to check the location of the charging ports before boarding to avoid missing important calls due to a dead phone. Newer trains like the Fuxinghao have better charging setups than older ones, even including USB ports.

When traveling with kids on high-speed trains, I found the charging ports aren't as easy to locate as expected. The sockets under seats often get dusty from being stepped on. Some older train models only have power outlets in limited seats, making it a race to secure one. I usually check the indicator light near the seat number first - a lit one means it's available. During peak charging times when everyone's crowding to use them, unstable voltage leads to slower charging, so bringing a power bank is more reliable. I recommend carrying a triple-headed charging cable, as many train sockets now support fast charging - you can get decent battery recovery in just 30 minutes. The passenger notices posted on seatbacks actually mark charging locations, but most people don't notice them.

As an electronics enthusiast, I've tested charging port data on different EMUs. The new Fuxing trains generally provide individual sockets for each seat with sufficient power to charge laptops. Older trains may have one shared socket for every two rows, with significant voltage fluctuations. The charging port locations are thoughtfully designed: under-seat ports prevent stepping damage, while aisle sockets have protective covers to avoid debris ingress. I've encountered loose sockets causing poor contact, which is actually due to metal wear from frequent use. It's advisable to clean the port from dust before plugging in and try adjusting the plug angle if contact is poor. For short trips, second-class seats are adequate, but for long journeys with a laptop, it's best to book a seat with a socket.
