Do D-series high-speed trains have charging ports?

D-series high-speed trains have charging ports. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: On CRH2A EMU second-class seats (cars 02-08), the power sockets are located under the seats with one socket per row. The charging ports on EMU trains are positioned on the walls at both ends of each second-class carriage and below the large luggage storage areas. It's important to note that the carriage sockets are only for charging small devices like phones and laptops, and the use of power strips or high-power appliances is prohibited as it may create safety hazards. High-speed rail: High-speed rail, abbreviated as HSR, refers to a railway system designed with high-standard specifications that allows trains to operate safely at high speeds. The concept is not limited to tracks, nor does it specifically refer to trains. Different countries, eras, and academic fields have varying definitions of high-speed rail. According to China's National Railway Administration's "Code for Design of High-Speed Railway," HSR is defined as newly constructed passenger-dedicated standard-gauge railways with design speeds between 250 km/h (inclusive) and 350 km/h (inclusive) that operate EMU trains.
I often travel by high-speed rail for business trips, especially on D-series EMU trains, which almost always have charging ports. Power outlets and USB ports are usually located under the seats or on the back of the front-row seats, making it convenient to charge phones or laptops. The facilities on high-speed trains are quite modern, so you don’t have to worry about your devices running out of battery during long journeys. However, there might be slight differences depending on the train model. Newer Fuxing trains have more advanced charging options, including wireless charging in business class. It’s a good idea to check when boarding, and if you can’t find the charging port, you can always ask the attendants—they’re happy to help. Bringing a small charger as a backup is always wise when traveling by high-speed rail, as comfort during the journey is what matters most.
