As a key part of the promotion of new energy vehicles, charging infrastructure has become the focus of this year's "two sessions" automotive industry representatives. Delegates have rumored that China has accelerated the construction of charging infrastructure and shifted the subsidies for new energy vehicles to the construction of infrastructure.
Owner: "New energy vehicles are too difficult to charge, charging anxiety + mileage anxiety, can not afford to hurt!"
Operator: "The built pile is not charged by the owner and cannot be profitable."
The two opposite contradictions are the highlights of the current new energy vehicle charging market: on the one hand, the piles built by enterprises are not charged by the owners; on the other hand, there are owners who cannot find pile charges. In the process of promoting new energy vehicles, this “contradictory body” has become a roadblock that hinders the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry.
As a key part of the promotion of new energy vehicles, charging infrastructure has become the focus of this year's "two sessions" automotive industry representatives. Delegates have rumored that China has accelerated the construction of charging infrastructure and shifted the subsidies for new energy vehicles to the construction of infrastructure.
Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Miao Wei, said at the "Ministerial Channel" of the two sessions that with the continuous development of science and technology, with the continuous improvement of charging facilities, new energy vehicles will show rapid growth in the future.
Solving charging is the key
Miao Wei said in the "Ministerial Channel": "In the past five years, China has achieved remarkable results in terms of new energy vehicles. In terms of industrial scale, China has become the world's largest producer and seller for three consecutive years. By the end of 2017 The total number of new energy vehicles promoted in China has exceeded 1.8 million."
However, compared with the high-speed growth of new energy vehicle production and sales, the construction of charging piles as supporting infrastructure is slightly “lag”. According to the National Energy Administration's disclosure data, as of the end of 2017, China's various types of charging piles reached 450,000, including 240,000 private dedicated charging piles and 210,000 public charging piles. The number of possessions ranks first in the world, 14 times that of 2014.
Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said in an interview that although the number of charging piles in China is large, the utilization rate of public charging piles is currently less than 15%. “Because of the unreasonable layout and inadequate maintenance, there have been many faults and zombie piles in some areas.”
"Except for the short range of cruising, the most troublesome thing for us is the charging problem." Taxi master Fu told the reporter of "New Energy Auto News" that "there are a lot of charging stations in Beijing, but many can't be used."
Mr. Fu said: "If the pile is built, it will not be occupied by the parking space. If the parking lot is too expensive, or if the charging pile is not in place, it cannot be charged."
Good steel is used on the blade
In fact, the policy support for strengthening the construction of charging infrastructure has been in place. In the Notice on Adjusting and Improving the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles, jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Development and Reform Commission last month. It is proposed that local governments should continuously increase infrastructure construction and improve the use environment of new energy vehicles. From 2018 onwards, the new energy vehicle local purchase subsidy funds will gradually be transferred to support the construction and operation of charging infrastructure.
Wang Binggang, a major project expert in the New Energy Vehicles of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the shift of financial subsidies from vehicle subsidies to charging infrastructure construction is a major trend in the development of new energy vehicles. It is a good news for the charging market and will help speed up charging facilities. The layout speed. "As an emerging industry, charging operators have been in a state of being unprofitable in recent years.
For charging operators, it is a big encouragement. ”
In this regard, Shi Zezhong also believes: "The government should give subsidies to those large-scale operators, to those charging operators with high charging frequency and good operational efficiency and electric vehicle owners to achieve scientific layout and survival of the fittest."
Scale development to solve "sleepiness"
“For these charging operators, the two major problems that hinder the rapid layout of current charging piles are mainly concentrated on the shortage of land resources and power resources.” Shi Zezhong pointed out that if the piles are built, the government should make full planning, not only with temporary The way to use sex is solved. "And in the allocation of power resources, I believe that high-power power requires the state to put the original policy in place outside the red line and solve the problem of flexible application of electricity."
Shi Zezhong believes that a reasonable policy plan can solve the problem of abnormal development of charging piles with heavy “quantity” and “quality”, and make the charging market more orderly and healthier.
Wang Binggang pointed out that China's charging infrastructure operations should be developed in a large scale. “If the company is only a sporadic layout charging pile, it will not be able to develop well in both the enterprise itself and the entire charging market.”
