Two or three towns share one charging station, and the charging problem of "migratory bird crowd" trams needs to be solved

　　Author: Xiao Yisi 

　　After returning to the villages and towns in Hunan, it became a problem to charge the trams for the "migratory bird crowd" in Hunan and Guangdong.

　　Recently, Xu Qiang (pseudonym), who just returned to his hometown in Hunan from Guangzhou, drove to a charging station on the mountainside. After the car was plugged in, he sat alone in the car and opened a mobile game, probably playing 2 ~After 3 games (about 40 minutes), his pure electric car will be fully charged, just enough to rush home for dinner.

　　"After returning to my hometown, it is really inconvenient to charge. It is very slow to charge at home, and it takes about two days to fully charge. When I go out to charge, there is DC fast charging, but there are very few charging facilities. The two surrounding towns only have this charging. Station." Xu Qiang told the first financial reporter.

This is a charging station set up by the State Grid, but there are only two charging piles in total.

While Xu Qiang was charging, another new energy vehicle coming back from Guangzhou also drove into the charging station and occupied another charging pile.

　　Xu Qiang is a rural boy in central Hunan. He usually works in Guangzhou, which is nearly 700 kilometers away by car. He belongs to the Hunan-Guangdong "migratory bird crowd".

Hunan Province is a major exporter of labor force, especially Guangdong.

The characteristic of the above-mentioned "migratory bird crowd" is that they usually work in Guangdong, and only return to their hometown in Hunan during the holidays, especially the Spring Festival.

Because of the inconvenient transportation in the countryside where my hometown is located, and the greater demand for visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, the "migratory bird crowd" driving home is very large.

　　According to the big data research and judgment of the Hunan Expressway Traffic Police, during the Spring Festival travel season this year, Hunan-Guangdong inter-provincial traffic warnings will exceed 5.3 million vehicles, an increase of about 6% year-on-year, and will account for nearly 30% of the total inter-provincial traffic on Hunan Expressway during the Spring Festival travel season.

　　Because of the heavy traffic during the Spring Festival travel season, Xu Qiang was troubled by queuing up for charging on the expressway home.

"In Guangzhou, pure electric vehicles are easy to charge in the city, low commuting costs, good driving experience, and have a 'green card'. The hourly team charges for one hour." Xu Qiang said that when he returned to his hometown in Hunan, the weather happened to be cold, and there was rain and fog.

　　However, Xu Qiang also pointed out that during the Spring Festival this year, the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles has generally improved. , voluntarily gave up driving back home.

　　During the Spring Festival travel season, the ease of charging of new energy vehicles on the expressway was also verified on the expressway where the reporter went home during the Spring Festival.

Among the many high-speed service stations in the Jiangxi section, except for the large service stations that are basically fully charged, the other service stations have a relatively high idle rate, and there is no need to queue up for charging at all. On the contrary, some gas stations have queued up for refueling.

At that time, cold weather such as rain and snow appeared on the Jiangxi section. Some owners of new energy vehicles who were charging told reporters that the cold wave caused some tram owners to dare not travel far.

　　In addition, in 2022, the number of charging piles in my country will also increase sharply.

According to the data released by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, from January to December 2022, my country's charging infrastructure will increase by 2.593 million units, of which the increase in public charging piles will increase by 91.6% year-on-year, and the increase in private charging piles built with vehicles will increase. The volume continued to rise, up 225.5% year-on-year.

In that year, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in my country was 6.887 million, and the incremental ratio of pile trucks was 1:2.7.

　　However, charging piles across the country still show uneven geographical distribution. According to the data released by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, the top 10 regions in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing, Hubei, Shandong, Anhui, Henan, and Fujian The construction of public charging piles accounted for 71.3%.

　　According to the "Hunan Province Accelerates the Construction of Charging Infrastructure Along the Highway Work Plan" issued by the Hunan Provincial Department of Transportation and the Provincial Energy Bureau.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Hunan will build 2,362 charging (replacing) power stations and more than 7,500 charging piles along the highway.

By the end of 2022, the total number of public charging stations in Guangdong Province has reached 21,700, and the total number of public charging piles has reached 383,000.

　　In the rural areas of Hunan, the problem of lack of charging infrastructure for new energy vehicles is even more obvious.

Take a county-level city in central Hunan where the reporter is located as an example. There are 15 towns under the county-level city, but there are only 6 public charging stations, and an average of 2 to 3 towns can share a charging station.
