With the temperature falling everywhere, especially in the northern region, the "mileage anxiety" of new energy vehicle owners has reappeared. Shrinking mileage, battery charging is not enough, dare not open the warm air, these problems still plague many car owners, and even new energy owners get up at four o'clock in the morning to grab charging piles. In the 2021 National Day Golden Week, a new energy vehicle owner will have been expected to travel more than 8 hours out of the nearly 16 hours. It wasn't because of the traffic jam, but spent 5 hours charging my car in the service area. The owner of the new energy vehicle even said that he did not even dare to go to the bathroom during the period, because he was afraid of being cut in line.
Alleviating "range anxiety" cannot be solved by simply building saturated charging facilities. According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first three quarters of 2021, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 6.78 million, and the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in the country was 2.385 million units. The 3:1 ratio of new energy vehicles to charging facilities does not seem to cause anxiety about charging. However, according to statistics, the average utilization rate of the entire public charging pile is less than ten percent, which is mainly due to the uneven distribution of charging piles. Charging piles in some popular scenic spots, business circles, and service areas are in short supply, but the charging facilities in some communities cannot keep up.
In fact, the solution of "mileage anxiety" needs to establish a chain covering all elements such as car companies, merchants, power supply departments, and communities. In this chain, whether it is the lack of charging piles in the community, or the charging facilities in shopping malls and high-speed service areas cannot keep up, or the incompatibility of charging equipment of different car companies... The lack of which link is invisibly increasing the "mileage anxiety" of new energy users.
Automatic assisted driving technology, brake energy recovery system and several new breakthroughs in battery and charging technology, it can be said that the new energy industry has now become a blue ocean of new technology testing, and the development of new energy vehicles has brought about the innovation of the industry. However, the change of life patterns and habits brought about by technological progress, and the conflict with the original social structure and infrastructure may be the source of "anxiety".
After experiencing the start-up period and the exploration period, the ecological chain of new energy development has gradually matured. Under such circumstances, what the new energy industry needs to solve urgently is to use the existing advantages and conditions to achieve the renewal of the industry's appearance in the "iterative update" of the ecological chain. How to make charging easier? How to make the problem of charging not become the threshold for competition between new energy and fuel vehicles? These problems need to be faced and solved by the new energy industry. Today, more and more substations are being introduced, making charging as convenient as refueling. However, the overstretched replacement power station resources may not be able to completely alleviate people's "mileage anxiety".
However, people's anxiety will not prevent the progress and development of science and technology, and scientific and technological progress is an inevitable product of the progress of the times. Behind the convenience, in addition to the progress of technology, it is more necessary to support infrastructure construction. With the development of new energy technology, all sectors of society are changing the original model and rules, and the infrastructure is updated accordingly, thus benefiting from technological progress. It's a completely closed chain.
Sustainable development is inseparable from the effective use of clean energy and the reduction of pollutant emissions, the development of new energy vehicles is not only to provide more convenience for people's travel, but also an important response to the proposition of sustainable development. Today, "mileage anxiety" proposes a mandatory question for all fields of society: how to completely break through the "mileage anxiety" of the dividend of the rapid development of new energy technology?
