AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/15 Report--

On February 15, the China Consumer Association released a public opinion analysis report on the protection of consumption rights during the Spring Festival. The report points out that "it is difficult to charge at high speed and there is no solution" has become a typical case of consumer rights protection during the Spring Festival.

According to data released by the China Electric vehicle charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance (hereinafter referred to as the "charging Alliance"), there are 340000 new public charging piles in 2021, and 1.147 million public charging piles have been completed by the end of 2021, including 470000 DC charging piles and 677000 AC charging piles. At the same time, the number of replacement power stations in China has increased rapidly, from 555 at the end of 2020 to 1298 by the end of 2021.

According to the Federation of passengers, retail sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 2.989 million in 2021, an increase of 169.1 percent over the same period last year. According to the Ministry of Public Security, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 7.84 million at the end of 2021, of which 6.4 million were pure electric vehicles. From the comparison of the data, it is not difficult to see that when the new energy vehicles grow rapidly, the charging infrastructure is also accelerating the layout, but the layout of charging facilities is far from keeping up with the speed of automobile production. In this context, the charging problem of new energy vehicles is becoming more and more prominent.

CCTV Finance once reported that during the National Day holiday, a new energy car owner who returned to Hunan from Shenzhen spent more than five hours charging his car in the Leiyang service area. Originally, it took more than eight hours to travel, but it finally took 16 hours. The owner said: "at that time, I checked the navigation without traffic jams before I temporarily decided to go home. I walked quite smoothly all the way. When I got to the Leiyang service area, I had to recharge. As a result, I got to the charging station, where many cars lined up to recharge."

After the National Day holiday, new energy vehicles ushered in the "big test" again during the Spring Festival in 2022. On the eve of the Spring Festival on January 29, CCTV Morning News reported that the number of new energy vehicles in China may double during the first Spring Festival holiday in the new energy vehicle market. At the same time, the daily charging peak of the highway appears in advance, and the State Grid predicts that some highways will still queue up for charging. Shi Shuanglong, director of operation and monitoring of the national network electric vehicle service company, said that judging from the daily charging trend of expressways, some charging stations on popular highways are already running at full capacity, and the maximum daily charging capacity during the Spring Festival is expected to reach 1.4 million KWh, nearly double that of last year.

It is reported that Guangdong Province will install more than 500 charging piles in major highway service areas before the Spring Festival this year. At present, there are more than 1800 charging piles in the province. In Shandong and other places, the emergency charge module is also officially on duty during the Spring Festival travel period, and the emergency charge module can be deployed in the high-speed service area at any time according to the traffic flow. In Jiangsu and other places, the State Grid is also equipped with emergency charging cars to solve the problem of queuing for high-speed charging, and the Yangtze River Delta charging network is also rapidly extending to villages and towns.

Compared with previous years, new energy charging facilities are becoming more and more perfect, and charging piles can be found nearby in many places, which is the reason why more and more car owners choose to drive new energy vehicles. However, during the Spring Festival travel period, there is nothing new energy vehicles can do when they travel together. New energy vehicles waiting to be recharged in the Waxi service area (in the direction of Guangzhou) on the Ji-Guangzhou Expressway have been lined up at the door of the parking lot in the service area during the Spring Festival, according to media reports. During the period, some netizens exposed that during the Spring Festival holiday, car owners fought fiercely for charging piles.

In view of the difficulty of high-speed charging, a number of new energy car manufacturers customer service also responded. Tesla customer service responded that it is now the rush hour, if you meet a lot of people to recharge, this really needs to wait, there is no other solution for the time being, and stressed that fuel trucks also need to queue up to the gas station. The ideal car customer service says that the ideal car has three modes: pure electric, pure oil and gas-electric hybrid. If you run a long distance, you can use oil-electric mixture, and use oil to generate electricity to increase mileage. NIO said that according to the data of the current power station change in the past few days, it is believed that it can withstand this peak pressure, with a maximum of 13 batteries per change station, and overcharging piles are also equipped at the NIO change station. It is said that charging cars are also arranged in most service areas. Car owners are advised to make a reservation before departure, and charging cars are waiting in the service area in advance.

More and more consumers choose to buy new energy vehicles, mainly because some cities restrict the license of gasoline vehicles, which is the main influencing factor. Of course, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the car scenes of most new energy vehicle owners are focused on urban roads, and the cost of new energy vehicles is lower, and at the same time, it is easy to worry about using new energy vehicles, which will easily highlight the advantages of new energy vehicles in daily traffic, but it is a completely different experience after running on the highway, especially in holidays, under the influence of charging difficulties and charging difficulties, battery life anxiety continues to affect car owners. At the same time, it will waste a lot of time.

From the market point of view, 2021 is the period when new energy vehicles begin to break out, but it has not yet reached the degree of complete popularization, and with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the pressure of energy supplement will further increase, and pure electric vehicles are the general trend of energy policy. with the improvement of vehicle battery technology, the construction of charging equipment has a long way to go.

To solve the problem of public charging piles of new energy vehicles, the key is to strengthen the convenience of charging. Liu Jie, director of the Technology and Certification Department of the China Electric vehicle charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, said that technically, it should accelerate the application of high-power charging technology, reduce the waiting time for charging, unify the interface, and improve adaptability. In the site selection, reduce the time for the car owner to find the charging pile, refer to the local gas station model, no matter where the car owner is, you can find an available charging pile within 5 kilometers, and improve the average utilization rate of the charging pile. In addition, the government and enterprises work together to build sharing and co-management, so that new energy vehicles can really run.
