In the past two years, there has been less news of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles, the mileage has also improved, and people's favorability for electric vehicles is rising, but there are still some people who are suspicious and feel that charging is slow and there are fewer electric piles. According to a 2021 statistic from the China Automobile Association, 40% of users complained that the charging time was too long, and 72.5% of users complained about the small number of charging piles.
Is it not technical enough? At present, the maximum charging power of mainstream fast charging piles is at the level of 120kW, some construction time is late, the technical piles are good, the maximum power can reach 240kW, and the manufacturers are also engaged in an arms race in the super charging pile:
· Tesla V3 supercharger with a maximum power of 250kW;
· Porsche 800V supercharged pile maximum power 270kW;
· The maximum charging power of the extreme kryptonite charging pile is 360kW;
· GAC AEAN A480 supercharge pile peak power 480kW......

Is the construction of charging piles not enough? According to statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, by the end of 2021, the number of new energy vehicles in the mainland will reach 7.84 million, the number of charging infrastructure will reach 2.617 million, and the ratio of vehicle piles will be about 3:1.
The problem is that the matching of the supply of charging piles with the demand is not good enough, a large number of pile groups are built in the surrounding area, downtown areas and highways, which are convenient for car owners to use, where the demand is large, the pile construction is facing problems such as tight site supply, expensive rent, and pressure on power supply, so the pile companies and the high cost of the main engine factory Supercharge pile can only be "shallow taste", almost a small-scale demonstration. There is, but it cannot be popularized, and it is usually limited to the use of its own brand, which is obviously not convenient for car owners to use, and because the frequency of use is not high, the high cost of pile construction is difficult to recycle, which is not conducive to rapid development.
Since electric vehicles are the trend, the charging problem must be solved. Fortunately, for Guangzhou, this situation seems to have ushered in a new breakthrough.

On April 21, GAC Aeon announced the launch of the "World's First Supercharge Capital (Guangzhou)" and the completion of the EIAN Super Charging and Replacement Center. On the basis of the existing AION V PLUS 70 super fast charging version and the previously released A480 super charging pile, we will vigorously promote the construction of supercharge and fast replacement networks, and plan to build 220 super charging and replacement centers in 2022, of which 176 are in Guangzhou, and the remaining 44 are distributed in the highway service area in Guangdong Province; by 2025, more than 1,000 super charging and replacement centers will be built in Guangzhou to achieve 1.5km radius coverage, with the goal of making Guangzhou a "supercharging capital".
edit
According to the official introduction, GAC Aean Super Charging and Replacing Center has 4 characteristics: how fast and good province. Many, refers to enough stations, in 2022 to achieve every 3 km within the range can be found, by 2025 to achieve within 1.5 km can be found, the owner can reach the charging station within 5 minutes. For reference, Guangzhou currently has more than 850 gas stations, this number will not increase significantly, by 2025, Ean's super charging and replacement center will exceed the number of gas stations, these charging stations will be open to basic brand owners in the future.

Fast, of course, is fast charging, A480 super charging pile peak voltage of 1000V, the maximum current up to 600A, Aefan standard charging power of 480kW, which is also the origin of its name. It is reported that the use of graphene's new super-speed battery technology, charging rate can reach 6C, charging 5-10 minutes endurance of 200-400 kilometers, theoretically the efficiency is 2 times that of Porsche supercharge. In addition, in the future, the Eian Super Charging and Swapping Center also supports power exchange, a car replacement time is planned to be 2.5 minutes, AEAN plans to release its new generation of pure electricity exclusive platform AEP 3.0 in June this year, and the new cars launched in the follow-up are based on the new platform, supporting fast charging and quick replacement.
Well, it means that the operation is simple, the Aeon Super Charge and Replacement Center also supports plug and charge, no sense of payment, the process is simpler, and now many electric vehicle owners are girls, in order to facilitate charging operation, charging guns and line pipes need to be lightweight.
Saving is to improve efficiency and save time. From the user's point of view, the density of the charging pile has come up, the time cost of finding the pile is low, the charging speed saves the waiting time, at the same time, the owner of the Aean super charging can enjoy the service fee of the Aeon self-built super charging and replacing center in the future, and the service fee of the joint super charging and replacing center is halved, and the charging is more economical. From the perspective of resources, Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC Aean, introduced, "Compared with the current mainstream 120KW fast charging pile, the establishment of a super charging pile will improve the efficiency of power grid services by 350%, increase the utilization rate of land resources by 5 times, and save 25% of power resources and reduce nearly 20% of the construction input." "In urban areas, improving the efficiency of land and power resource use is also a saving."
edit
Speaking of this, you may feel that the planning is very beautiful, and the landing is the difficulty, and GAC Aean also made some explanations for this. We know that the biggest difficulty in building piles in urban areas is land and electricity, and Eon has joined hands with South Grid, PetroChina, Chengtou, Jiaotou, Huawei, Juwan, China Charging Alliance and other enterprises, which belong to the joint promotion of multi-party resources. Among them, as a detailed explanation, there are two points worth noting: first, Aeon may use the existing charging pile for upgrading, gas station expansion and Eian 25-hour experience center pile construction, etc., to improve the efficiency of use, revitalize resources is also conducive to improving the speed of site construction; second, unlike what we imagined, the overcharge station that Aeon said will be a 480kW supercharge pile, plus five 90-180kW fast charging piles combined to achieve flexible distribution, so that the power supply and frequency of use, Density is more favorable. After all, the number of vehicles that support ultra-fast charging now needs to be improved.

Speaking of ownership, At the press conference, Aian simultaneously announced at the press conference that during the period from April to May 2022, in response to the launch of the AION V Plus70 super fast charging version of the "limited time regional promotion" activity, users in Guangzhou and Hainan can enjoy a discount of 18,000 yuan for car purchases, and the guidance price has dropped from the original 209,600 yuan to 191,600 yuan. And just mentioned that based on the AEP 3.0 platform, the new cars on the market from next year will support fast charging, and the ownership will be rapidly improved.

According to the data, guangzhou new energy vehicle market penetration rate of 40.01%, ranking first in the country, the current number of electric vehicles 380,000 units, charging stations more than 3200 seats, the vehicle-to-pile ratio of 118:1. In terms of actual experience, the utilization rate of charging stations in some areas with large population density tends to be saturated, and there is often a queue phenomenon during peak hours, and the traffic potential energy has begun to appear. Among them, Eian once accounted for more than 36.8% in Guangzhou, and also has traffic potential energy. In the context of the significant increase in the penetration rate of electric vehicles and the rapid expansion of ownership, new requirements are also put forward for the charging system, GAC Ae-Ean's thousand-station "super charging capital" plan to integrate multiple resources and fully grasp market opportunities, which will greatly help improve the charging experience of electric vehicle users, make a sample for the construction of the domestic megacity charging system, and will also be able to establish a good reputation for the development of the enterprise brand and continuously enhance the brand influence.
