　　Ms. He bought a pure electric car for nearly a year, and so far the charging pile presented by the car dealer is still idle and cannot be installed at home.

"The procedures are stuck in the hands of the community property. Fortunately, charging outside can also solve the daily commuting electricity." For many pure electric car owners, having a private charging station is the most ideal solution, but in fact there are many "Tram" owners charge through public charging piles.

An investigation by reporters from all media found that currently over 40% of new energy vehicle owners in the country do not have personal charging piles, and more than half of the charging piles of many car dealer brands "cannot be sent."

With the rapid increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in my country, how can new energy vehicle owners have a good car experience has become a hot topic in the new year.

　　The car dealer’s charging pile can’t be delivered

　　"Buy a car and get free charging piles." New energy vehicle brands send piles with the car is a common promotional method.

However, many car owners may not enjoy the benefits of sending piles with the car: "Residential buildings do not meet the installation requirements" and "Properties are not allowed to install on the grounds of safety." Regarding the problem of the low installation rate of personal charging piles, Weimar Motors CEO Shen Hui recently stated publicly: "Every time I hear car owners complain about the difficulty of installing charging piles, I feel very heavy. This year, more than 40,000 vehicles were delivered, but nearly 20,000 of the charging piles that came with the car were delivered. Don't go out." Shen Hui's words originated from the experience of a car owner.

A car owner said: “The car that was mentioned in October last year has not been able to install charging piles in the community so far. After finding all parties, the property was not approved. They were rejected on the grounds that the parking spaces could not be installed and the electricity quotas were used.”

　　The reporter recently discovered from a survey of brands such as Tesla, Weilai, and Xiaopeng that more than half of users have given up or purchased personal charging piles due to various problems.

A local dealer of GAC E'an told reporters that more than 60% of car owners use public charging piles.

"There is a replacement station about 3 kilometers away from my house, which is more convenient than charging." Mr. Liu, the owner of Weilai, told reporters that considering the actual situation, he simply didn't want a charging station.

　　Liu Peng, the technical leader of the National Regulatory Platform for New Energy Vehicles, said that currently over 40% of new energy vehicle owners in the country do not have personal charging stations.

"Through data monitoring, it is found that the general new energy vehicle owners mainly charge during the day, and the demand for supplementary energy for charging at home at night is low." He believes that this also reflects that the "private stake" market still has room for development.

　　The benefits of personal charging piles are obvious, not only can save the time of charging alone, but also can enjoy peak and valley discounts for family charging fees.

In addition, many new "trolleys" support scheduled charging time or battery preheating, which is very beneficial for northern users in winter.

　　Property management is mostly rejected due to safety concerns

　　Mr. Yan, who has successfully installed charging piles in private parking spaces, said that installing personal charging piles is actually very simple.

"From property stamping, app application, survey, and installation, it will be done in one week." The reporter's investigation found that the current power supply department, power grid, fire protection and other departments are all positive in the installation of personal charging piles.

But more car owners are stuck on the conditions of the community and property management.

Ms. He, who has not installed a personal charging station for more than a year, told reporters: "While the property is not approved for safety, it actually has to be voted by the owner's committee, and many neighbors disagree."

　　The property management staff of the R&F No. 1 building in Haizhu District told the reporter, “There is capacity planning when the building is completed, and the personal charging pile causes insufficient voltage, which causes residents to use electricity safely?” The unclear installation management specifications directly affect the new energy vehicles. Construction of personal charging piles.

A statistical survey by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance shows that there are problems such as disorderly construction of personal charging piles in residential areas, insufficient capacitance, difficult property management, prominent hidden dangers, and unclear regulations.

In addition, due to cost considerations, some of the charging piles delivered with the car mostly use equipment that can only meet the basic charging needs, and there are various safety hazards that do not meet the national standards or are not installed in accordance with the specifications.

　　Breaking the game: multi-dimensional deployment of charging piles

　　According to data from the China Automobile Association, as of the end of the third quarter of last year, the number of new energy vehicles in the country reached 6.78 million, and the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 20.8% in November last year.

Faced with the ever-increasing holdings and the difficulty in installing personal charging piles at this stage, all parties in the industry chain such as car companies and charging facility service operators have become a key link.

　　The first trick

　　Cooperate with the community to help "private stakes" land

　　In order to allow car owners to have a better charging experience, the reporter found that car companies formulate better supplementary energy packages for users, such as from various aspects to consider helping users to "private stakes" landing.

At present, car companies have begun to try to cooperate with real estate companies to allow private charging piles to enter the community more quickly.

At the same time, some real estate developers, such as Agile, have built 100% parking spaces or reserved construction and installation conditions in their new houses, and planned public charging areas for new communities.

In addition, a number of electric vehicle companies have also introduced public charging pile data in the brand APP to ensure users' convenience in charging.

The above multi-angle charging pile layout reflects the innovative thinking of new energy vehicle companies.

　　Regarding the difficulty of landing personal charging piles, and in order to promote relevant enterprises to standardize and solve the problems of pile construction and operation and maintenance, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers issued the "Regulations for the Self-discipline of the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Industry in Residential Areas" in November last year for soliciting comments and compilation instruction.

　　No. 2

　　Public charging piles have tricks to "replenish energy"

　　Although it is impossible to have a "private stake", many car owners are optimistic about the use of trams.

The reporter's interview found that Guangzhou's investment in public charging and swapping infrastructure has allowed new energy vehicle owners to enjoy convenience and have found tricks in the daily "energy supplement".

　　“If the commuting distance is 10-20 kilometers, charging once every half month is enough.” Xiaolei, the owner of new energy vehicles, told reporters that the brands he bought have free charging quotas for owners every year, which can basically meet daily needs.

He calculated the accounts for the reporter, and the cost of installing the personal charging station would cost three to four thousand yuan, and he had to go through the formalities and communicate with the property, which took a lot of time and energy.

"Even if you don't install private piles, I go to public piles 1 to 2 times a week. While charging, you can watch videos with air-conditioning in the car and play in two hours." In addition, car companies are also encouraging users to "share resources." "GAC Aian has opened a sharing channel in the APP to encourage car owners to share personal charging piles with other users when they are not in use.

　　Industry insiders suggest that prospective car owners can use the relevant APP to search for nearby charging piles before buying a new energy vehicle.

Zhu Yulong, a senior automotive electronics engineer and well-known automotive commentator, said, “You can’t install a charging station in your home, but you can boldly start an electric car if you have a suitable charging station that matches your own lifestyle and travel trajectory.” He said, “I believe it. As the country’s electric vehicle strategy advances, shared charging piles and charging stations will only increase and become more convenient."

　　Suggestion: "One truck, one pile" may not be necessary

　　According to the plan, the vehicle-to-pile ratio of new energy vehicles is ideal to reach 1:1.

In fact, the vision of "one vehicle, one pile" is not easy to realize.

In the face of the ever-expanding new energy vehicle market, increasing the number of charging piles has become a bottomless pit. Unlimited expansion will also bring about huge idle and waste of resources, especially during off-peak travel times.

In addition, for many communities, "one vehicle, one pile" requires an additional expansion of the electric capacity of the community, which is equivalent to doubling the number of households. Not only the original power grid cannot bear it, but the expansion cost of the transformer is not a small amount.

　　Wang Zidong, director of the National 863 Electric Vehicle Major Special Power Battery Test Center, believes that how to solve the problem of "on-vehicle power distribution" is the focus of the whole society. If "on-vehicle power distribution" is "The problem can be solved, and in line with the current public charging piles, it is basically enough to solve the current charging problem.

The Secretary General of the National Passenger Car Market Information Joint Council also pointed out that the overall structure of the future charging infrastructure should be mainly private charging piles and public charging piles supplemented. However, when the ratio of new energy vehicles to piles reaches about 5:1 That's enough.

"At peak travel times or in the northern winter, public charging piles line up for charging. This is a complicated social problem. It cannot be solved by the ratio of vehicles to piles of 1:1 or universal charging and replacement."

　　To sum up, in the long run, increasing the number of charging piles is only a mitigation measure to solve the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles. If you want to solve the problem of charging difficulty from the root, it is also necessary to solve the problem from the root of the charging technology. "Share" and other promotion and encouragement.

　　Private pile installation, car companies must also be responsible

　　All-media reporter Zhou Weili, Guangzhou Daily

　　Traffic jams are not terrible, only when there is no electricity is embarrassing.

Electric vehicles will be evaluated as "electric fathers". To some extent, it is caused by "not enough charging piles".

　　To install private charging piles, generally, you need to submit an application, safety commitment, house property certificate & parking space property certificate, electric vehicle qualification certificate, installation company qualification license, grid survey status table and other materials.

Among them, the safety commitment letter needs to be signed by the owner, vehicle dealers, and charging pile dealers.

Note that for the signature of the "owner", different properties have different requirements-it may be the owner himself, and the owner of two adjacent parking spaces; once you encounter a more real "property", the owners of the entire building need to share signature.

The reason for the property: In the event of a spontaneous combustion of a vehicle, who will be responsible for the losses involved?

　　In first-tier cities, it is not easy to install a "private stake" for your car.

How to solve?

It requires the efforts of individuals, enterprises, properties, power grids, etc.

Recently, exclusive insurance for new energy vehicles has been released, and insurance can also be purchased for charging, which is a good move.

With the popularity of this type of insurance, there is no reason for the property to set up obstacles to the installation of private piles.

If spontaneous combustion occurs during charging, the insurance company will pay.

　　Businesses can't stay aloof either.

The slogan of "user-centered" is so loudly chanted that when it comes to installing private piles, one cannot go further on the basis of "sending piles with the car", for example, "get the property right?"

In the matter of "fixing the property", the practice of "elevator advertising" enterprises is worth learning.

Back then, "elevator advertising" companies, like housing intermediaries, entered every street, went to every house, and conducted "sweeping" and family talks.

For users who want to install private posts, they are more concerned about who will help them communicate with each other than “send posts”, rather than let them face it alone.

Faced with it alone does not mean that there is pressure, but that things are particularly trivial, and it takes time and energy to "stack" to solve problems.

　　Do not underestimate the charging pile, it is directly linked to sales.

At the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, more than one auto show executives are optimistic about the 2022 auto market, especially new energy vehicles.

In their view, the 50% year-on-year growth of new energy vehicles in 2022 is just a "start", and 80% is "normal."

　　Consumers have discerning eyes. They may pay for fashion and intelligence when they first buy a car, but once the experience is not good, they will abandon the category and choose gasoline cars and extended-range electric cars that do not have battery life anxiety. .

　　Therefore, the sales of new energy vehicles will rise sharply in 2021, but don't be too happy.

The pain points of users in installing private piles must be solved by finding ways.
