More than 40,000 vehicles were delivered, but nearly 20,000 charging piles were delivered with the car. At the end of 2021, Shen Hui, founder, chairman and CEO of WM Motor, posted content on the real-name authentication Weibo, which triggered many car owners to discuss.

In Hunan, there is also a situation where it is difficult to install self-use charging piles, and some charging pile installation companies said that in 2021, about 10,000 units of orders were received, and only 6,400 charging piles were installed.

The installation of household charging piles is blocked, and public charging piles are difficult to meet the needs of car owners. Data show that by the end of last year, Hunan has built about 30,000 public charging piles, and the number has not entered the top ten in the country. ■ Sanxiang Metropolis Daily all-media reporter Yu Can Hu Rui intern Cheng Yunyu

【Car companies complain】

Nearly half of the charging pile can not be sent out

At the end of 2021, a Guangzhou car owner who purchased AW NEW ENERGY VEHICLE said that he had been picking up the car for nearly 2 months and had found all parties to install charging piles, but the property found various reasons, that is, it was not approved. Shen Hui, founder, chairman and CEO of WM Motor, responded on Weibo: "Every time I hear the owner complain to me about the difficulty of installing the charging pile, the mood is very heavy. This year, WM delivered more than 40,000 vehicles, but nearly 20,000 charging piles distributed with the car could not be delivered. ”

This microblog triggered thousands of netizens to leave a message to discuss, the most forwarded is the reply of the netizen @IT observation ape: "Manufacturers pay for free to send, most people are not blessed, to solve the problem of 'can not send out', relying on the manufacturer alone is unrealistic, all parties involved in society have to participate." ”

Netizen @ Ah Ping to lie flat said: "The home community is equipped with the conditions for installing private charging piles, but the property has been restricted by fire safety, electricity load and other reasons. It is good that the property is regulated, but blind prohibition will only make us, the owners of the car, feel that the property is shirking responsibility. ”

Some people also expressed their understanding of the practice of some properties: "The electricity capacity of many old residential areas is indeed limited, which is not enough to support the demand of private piles in every household, and this matter cannot be completely monster industry and power grid." If there are more and more private piles, the property will inevitably expand the capacity of power equipment, how will this cost be apportioned?"

In Hunan, the charging pile "can not be sent out" situation also exists. Hunan Anpibang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a company that installs charging piles, and Tang Yong, the head of the company, introduced that in 2021, the company received about 10,000 orders in Hunan, and only about 6,400 units were actually installed. "Buying a car basically sends a charging pile, including the installation of charging piles, but the owner can't install it for various reasons, and we are also in a hurry." There is no installation and the business is affected. Tang Yong revealed that the reason why the owner did not install the charging pile is multifaceted, some customers have public charging piles near their homes, some car owners run online car ride-hailing in the field, and they are not in a hurry to install charging piles at home, a considerable part of the reason is that the owners want to install, but they cannot install, the main reason is that the property company refuses to sign and seal.

"The location and installation of charging pile installation have national and provincial relevant technical standards and design specifications, and installation companies like ours have qualification requirements, and often the property can find a reason to say that it cannot be installed, and they don't even know what the installation standard is." Tang Yong said helplessly.

It is difficult to find charging piles in old residential areas

The reporter visited a number of communities in Changsha and found that most communities are allowed to install charging piles, while it is difficult to see the figure of charging piles in some old communities.

Changsha Xinfucheng Community is located near Furong Square, more than 500 residents in the community, and several owners have applied to install new energy vehicle charging piles, but they have not succeeded. Liu Pei, head of the residential property company, said bluntly: "It is true that there is no condition to install, the residential wires are densely packed like spider webs, the power distribution equipment and the computer room are very old, and it has been used for nearly 30 years." And there are more than 500 households in the community, and there are only more than 100 parking spaces, which is very tense. "At present, the owners of new energy vehicles in the community either install charging piles in parking spaces of other houses or go to public charging piles to charge."

Xiangjiang Century City community is the largest community in Changsha, at present, the community has installed a lot of new energy charging piles, the community is divided into several areas, taking the second area as an example, there are currently about 8,000 residents, there have been more than 50 parking spaces installed charging piles.

"I was a little worried before, but I didn't expect it to be installed in a few days, and it went very smoothly." Mr. Liu, the owner of Xiangjiang Century City, introduced that from application to installation, it was completed in a few days.

Wang Juan, director of the Xiangjiang Century City Juhongda Property Customer Service Center, introduced that since 2020, there have been owners in the community who have applied to install new energy vehicle charging piles, and the property has met the needs of the owners as much as possible, "as long as it is a working day, the fastest day can be stamped, and the slowest can also be obtained the next day." Wang Juan said that when installing charging piles, the property will also send special personnel to cooperate and assist throughout the process to reduce the owner's rush.

In the interview, the person in charge of some property companies admitted that the main reason for not agreeing with the owner to install the charging pile is the opposition of other owners, "When we asked the owners for advice before, some owners explicitly opposed the installation in the community. There is no business committee in the community, and we can only let the owners communicate more. ”

"The garage is already underground, the parking space is tight, there are many cars parked randomly, if you install charging piles again, in case of fire, don't say the car, people will be difficult to escape." In the interview, many owners who have not purchased cars or gasoline cars believe that there are hidden dangers in fire safety, radiation and other aspects of household charging piles, "The installation of charging piles in the community is harmful to us and is really unwilling to support." ”

Public charging piles are difficult to meet the needs of car owners

"In the urban area of Changsha, especially in places with many people and cars, it is more difficult to find public charging piles, one is that there are fewer points, and the other is that even if there is an empty position, it may encounter broken facilities or be occupied by fuel vehicles." Mr. Yang, who works in Changsha's Songguiyuan, spoke out the voice of the owner of the new energy vehicle.

"Whether it is an absolute number or a ratio to new energy vehicles, the number of charging piles in our province is not enough." Zhu Shengkai, president of the Hunan Charging Infrastructure Association, said in an interview that this has affected the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in Hunan to a certain extent. "The construction of charging infrastructure in Hunan Province is still relatively backward." Peng Jiqiu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Changsha Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and chairman of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, has also expressed the same view

According to the Data released by the China Charging Alliance in September 2021, the top provinces and cities in the construction of domestic charging infrastructure are Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing and Jiangsu, all of which have more than 90,000 public charging piles, of which Guangdong has 161,000 public charging piles.

Unfortunately, Hunan did not enter the top ten, and it also ranked behind Hubei, Anhui and Henan among the six central provinces. Statistics from the Provincial Energy Bureau show that as of the end of December 2021, about 30,000 public charging piles have been built in Hunan, of which Changsha accounts for more than half, with more than 17,000. In addition, the number of cities and prefectures with more than 1000 seats is 2662 in Hengyang, 1648 in Shaoyang, 1556 in Zhuzhou, 1264 in Xiangtan, 1206 in Changde and 1024 in Yiyang.

Disorderly competition among enterprises

As a result, the industry has developed slowly

Behind the unsatisfactory construction of charging infrastructure in our province is the difficulty of profitability of charging operation enterprises and the disorderly competition in the industry. "At present, the charging pile enterprises that operate in the market have problems such as difficult to find a site, difficult to increase the capacity of electricity, large investment, long investment cycle, and difficulty in profitability." Zhu Shun, general manager of Changsha Star Charging Hunan Company, said in an interview with the Sanxiang Metropolis Daily reporter that the charging pile needs to be equipped with fixed parking spaces, and most of the land supply at this stage is tight, especially in the old city, and it is often difficult for operating enterprises to find a venue and it is difficult to reach an agreement with property owners or managers.

Zhu Shengkai calculated an account for the reporter, the general 120kw charging pile investment needs 240,000-250,000 yuan, a bus charging pile with high frequency of use, to recover the cost in 3-5 years, the general public charging pile needs 6-8 years to recover the cost.

"The disorderly competition of charging pile operators has also affected the enthusiasm of investors, resulting in slow development of the industry." Li Yunfang, secretary general of the Hunan Charging Infrastructure Association, introduced in an interview that there are currently more than 100 electric vehicle charging pile operating enterprises in Hunan, and some enterprises once launched a marketing policy of zero service fee and zero electricity fee, which carried out low-price competition and disrupted market order. "In the long run, this is not conducive to the balanced and orderly development of the integrated industry." Li Yunfang said.
