【Introduction: At present, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in mainland China have ranked first in the world for 6 consecutive years, with cumulative sales of up to 5.5 million vehicles.
In recent years, about 60 support policies and measures have been issued, and the development of the new energy automobile industry has achieved positive results, and substantial breakthroughs have been made in various aspects such as basic materials, basic parts, motors, electronic controls, batteries and vehicles. However, although the development of new energy vehicles is indeed smooth, for individual users, charging piles are still insufficient. 】

For a Chinese market with a huge number of new energy consumers, the shortage of charging piles is a major obstacle to the development of new energy vehicles. Solving the problem of charging difficulties is also imminent.
So, how should we solve the problem of short supply of charging piles? What are the procedures required to apply for a private charging pile?
The vehicle-to-pile ratio has dropped to 3.5:1
According to the data released so far, the total number of charging piles in the mainland reached 1.2191 million units, an increase of 41.04% year-on-year; of which the number of public piles reached 516,400 units (an increase of 33.27% year-on-year), and the number of private piles reached 702,700 units (an increase of 47.35%). In general, the construction of charging piles in the mainland is basically ahead of construction, and the number of charging piles in recent years has basically maintained a sustained and efficient growth trend, and the vehicle-to-pile ratio has dropped from 7.8:1 in 2015 to 3.5:1.
From the heart, from a global point of view, the construction of charging piles in the mainland basically belongs to advanced construction, whether it is quality or quantity, it belongs to the forefront level. But is that enough?
It should be pointed out that in the early days of the development of charging piles, charging pile companies were keen on staking land in the early stage, and rich companies were trying to seize the market and build charging stations for the building party to obtain the right to operate charging piles under ultra-low or almost free conditions. However, most of the charging piles in the early stage do not meet the charging needs of current electric vehicles, and almost all of them have fallen into the technical victims of the updated national standard of charging piles.
At the same time, there are still problems such as obvious differences in the distribution area of charging piles and uneven charging quality of charging piles. These problem points continue to affect the user experience of new energy vehicle users.
Insufficient attention is paid to private charging piles
What needs to be pointed out more is that compared with public charging piles, the development of private charging piles is actually quite unoptimistic. For many charging pile companies, their customers are more inclined to public large customers, the private charging pile business is almost ignored, and even many industry insiders said that the order for private charging piles is very small, and the use of ALTERNA charging piles.
In other words, if we want to improve the layout of charging piles and improve the user's sense of experience, the first thing to do is to improve the layout of private charging piles and guide the majority of charging pile companies to participate in the construction of private charging piles. Moreover, it is necessary to reduce the difficulty of application and construction of private charging piles, and actively encourage new energy vehicle owners to install private charging piles.
While vigorously popularizing private charging piles, charging pile companies should also care about the layout of charging piles in non-first- and second-tier cities: in the vast number of third- and fourth-tier cities and even township areas, there are actually quite a few new energy vehicle users, but the charging needs of these users cannot be met for a long time. Therefore, how to strengthen the layout of charging piles in non-first- and second-tier cities is also a topic that must be overcome.
In addition, for many new energy vehicle users, the charging speed is now slower, which also affects their use experience. To put it bluntly, how to improve the charging speed and charging quality of the charging pile is also a problem point that needs to be solved urgently.
All in all, enriching private charging piles, balancing the layout of regional charging piles, continuously strengthening the construction of charging piles and improving the charging quality of charging piles are the best solutions.
Apply for a private charging pile, you should do this
Regardless of the current development of private charging piles, it is necessary to grasp the application process of private charging piles.
First of all, it is necessary to let the property stamp and confirm the two documents of "Application for Installing Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment in Parking Spaces" and "Permission to Use Parking Spaces" before applying for telegraph installation to the power supply department.
In addition, after the user formally signs the car purchase contract and has obtained the relevant approval of the property, he can entrust the automobile manufacturer, the 4S shop or submit an application for telegraph installation to the power supply department. According to the "Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Telegraph Installation Services for Electric Vehicle Charging and Replacing Facilities" issued by the State Grid, after the user submits an application, the power supply department will make an appointment with the customer for on-site investigation time and confirm the power supply plan. From the date of acceptance, low-voltage customers within 1 working day, high-voltage customers within 15 working days, complete the power supply plan.
Immediately after, of course, is the installation of charging piles, finally, after the installation of the charging pile, notify the power supply department for acceptance, after accepting the acceptance application, low-voltage customers 1 working day, high-voltage customers within 5 working days to complete the acceptance. In this case, you can use a charging pile.
Comments
In summary, a major obstacle to the development of new energy vehicles is the contradiction between people's increasing demand for charging piles and the currently imperfect charging pile layout, and if you want to solve this contradiction, you need the majority of charging pile companies, government departments, etc. to participate in solving it. For individuals, what can be done now is to understand the installation process of personal charging piles and support the development of personal charging piles.
