Introduction
By the end of 2021, the cumulative number of new energy vehicles in Beijing has reached more than 500,000. However, the charging problem of new energy vehicles has always plagued some car owners...
Charging for more than one hour is subject to a parking fee
Mr. Wan: Regardless of day or night, if you only have more than an hour, you will be charged a single parking fee, but you will not be charged enough for an hour. You want to say that you can properly collect during the day, but also let people understand, feel that the parking lot is empty at night, 4 charging piles, and he has to charge parking fees after the timeout. At the very least, even if you say that you can distinguish by season, one hour in winter is full of dissatisfaction, at least you have to say that it is relaxed to two hours.

Star Charging: Charges vary
In response to the problem reflected by Mr. Wan, the reporter first called the customer service telephone of Star Charging, and the staff said:
Star charging: His different stations are different charging standards, some stations do not need (parking fees), some stations need it. Specifically, you can find this station in the APP of Star Charging, he will have parking fee information there, some stations are bound to the license plate number, you can enjoy a two-hour reduction in parking fees, and some do not have this activity.

Shopping mall: Charging is free for one hour
Subsequently, the reporter asked about the parking fee of the charging Lufthansa Friendship Mall, and the front desk customer service staff said:
Lufthansa Friendship Mall: From the beginning of the entrance, we are free of one hour of parking.
Reporter: What if it's nighttime?
Lufthansa Friendship Mall: It's the same at night, and the charging method is the same. If you don't charge, you'll have to pay as usual, for 8 bucks an hour.

Other platforms: Subject to the parking lot
So how are other third-party charging platforms regulated? The reporter randomly inquired about several platforms, among them, the customer service staff of the special call platform said that the parking fee is not charged by the charging platform, and the specific charging standard is based on the parking lot where the charging station is located.
Special call: This is to see the field station, some of the field stations it is charged separately, is the field station to collect.
Reporter: Why do some receive and some do not?
Special call: We have a contract for this, and some stations are not willing to park the charging vehicles on the side of the special call, and then they will charge the venue fee. Some stations are willing to cooperate and sign a contract with us to waive how much parking fees. Most of the depots are free of stops for about two hours.
In the special caller mini program, users can choose free or paid parking charging stations/source networks
State Grid: Parking is balanced with electricity
Another platform that provides charging services, the staff of the State Grid "E Charging" APP, also told reporters:
State Grid: Because our charging pile is cooperating with the State Grid, a third party, he has a fee for free. It is the price set by the Price Bureau or the Development and Reform Commission, if the electricity is cheap, this parking lot may be charged, if it is charged at a slightly higher price, it will definitely be free to park, it is balanced.
The parking fees of each charging station in the State Grid APP are also different/source networks
Expert: The problem will gradually become prominent
So, is the charging model of new energy vehicles reasonable when charging? Is there room for an appropriate reduction in parking fees? To this end, the reporter asked Zhong Shi, an expert of the Expert Committee of the China Automobile Circulation Association, who believed that after the parking resources gradually have market attributes, the question of whether charging needs to pay parking fees has also fallen into a management deadlock.
Teacher Zhong: If the government is left to the market to solve the problem, then the result is this. In the future, if the number of new energy vehicles reaches 20% and 30%, this problem will become more and more prominent. It depends on whether the government regards the public charging pilot as a public facility, regards it as a public utility, and this should be coordinated by the government. If local governments feel they should push forward the replacement of fuel vehicles, then you have to give additional policies.
Experts recommend improving charging methods and techniques
In addition, Chen Yanyan, dean of the School of Urban Transportation of Beijing University of Technology, suggested that the charging method of new energy vehicles can be improved in the future, thereby reducing the charging cost of car owners.
Chen Yanyan: For some non-home parking lots, the future to add some power replacement technology or equipment, it is likely that the future is also a mainstream, fast charging and fast replacement, may be a few minutes to complete the work of changing the battery. It may be necessary to carry out a national uniform standard for batteries.
Experts: Night charging offers a discount
At the same time, Chen Yanyan also suggested that at this stage, commercial parking lots can appropriately provide some preferential policies for new energy car owners to recharge under the condition that the utilization rate at night is not high.
Chen Yanyan: The parking resources in the parking lot at night are actually sufficient, especially like shopping malls. In this case, can you say, for example, shopping malls or some other public parking resources, open and charge at night. Because now many old residential areas, parking spaces are actually relatively tight, you can share with other surrounding parking lots at night, so that for parking companies, or for car owners, in fact, can achieve a win-win situation.
Small ask said
Electricity costs are combined with parking fees
The cost of new energy charging is high
Car owners look forward to more preferential policies
