With the coming of May Day holiday, the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles and the problem of high-speed charging of extended-range / plug-in trams have been concerned by the majority of netizens again.

Recently, a netizen posted a video saying: there are only three charging posts in total, BYD has one, Red Flag has one, and the third one is occupied by the ideal car. And said: why the ideal car does not go to refuel, should be recharged here.

It is worth noting that on April 28, another netizen posted that every service area has an ideal for charging at a charging pile, which immediately sparked heated discussion on Weibo.

In this regard, some netizens said: because the ideal battery capacity is small, loss of electricity and fuel consumption is high, so car owners can only charge frequently to save some fuel money, the most frequent use of charging piles is the phev model. Another netizen said: I plug in my car, never charge at high speed, it is not necessary, just use oil, and leave the pile to what is really urgently needed.

For the netizen's post, some industry insiders said: no matter it is a pure tram, an extra taxi or a hybrid, as long as it has a charging port, it can be recharged at the charging station! OK whenever the charging station is open.

On the topic of high-speed charging of extended-range / plug-in trams, some netizens exposed a similar situation as early as National Day last year. On October 5 last year, a netizen posted a post on Weibo advising: do not grab charging posts with pure electric driving vehicles. It said, "there are four charging piles in the service area, three of which are occupied by additional cars. Please add-program owners represented by ideal car owners. During the holidays, the charging resources in the high-speed service area are very scarce, so don't compete for charging posts with pure electric car owners. Thank you."

At that time, in response to the netizen's suggestion, car commentator Han Lu said: the rational level: everyone is the same, you can't control charging. Emotional level: the backbone of the holiday high-speed service area charging resources are tight, if refueling can be mixed, try to give the charging resources to pure electricity. At the same time, Han Lu also sent several purchase suggestions to netizens based on the infrastructure of China's public charging system in October 2022.

In fact, it has always been a problem that it is difficult to charge new energy vehicles during the holidays. The longest waiting time for charging in the service area on the first day of the May Day holiday is 2.7 hours, according to Baidu Maps. In addition, according to the China charging Alliance (EVCIPA), 37,000 new public charging stations were added in 2022, and the number of public charging stations was 111,000 by the end of 2022, an increase of 50 per cent over the same period last year. In 2022, 2.593 million new charging piles were added in China, and by the end of 2022, the number of rechargeable piles was 5.21 million, an increase of 99.07 percent over the same period last year. Of these, the number of public charging piles was 1.7975 million, an increase of 56.7 percent over the same period last year, and the number of private charging piles was 3.4121 million, an increase of 132.1 percent over the same period last year.

From the comparison of the data, it is not difficult to see that with the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, the charging infrastructure is also being arranged rapidly, but the layout of charging facilities is far from keeping pace with the sales of new energy vehicles. Under this background, the problem that it is difficult to charge new energy vehicles is becoming more and more prominent. Maybe the traffic jam is not so terrible, and the lack of electricity seems to make the car owner look more anxious.

Of course, in the period of explosive growth of new energy vehicles, although the infrastructure has also been accelerated in the past two years, if we really want to realize the freedom of travel of new energy vehicles, we also need to speed up the layout of charging piles and resolve the difficulties of the charging network. In addition, car companies can also adopt new battery technology to increase the energy density of vehicle power batteries and reduce their dependence on charging piles.
