"The battery car in the corridor hall is gone, and the 'flying wire' charging phenomenon is gone." Residents of Huating Apartment, Fangsong Street, sighed. In recent years, the community has improved the management specifications of electric bicycles through the method of "combination of dredging and blocking", which has greatly reduced the hidden dangers of charging.
In March this year, Huating Apartment added 44 charging ports at 3 charging points, and added 25 charging ports at 3 points in April. With the increase in e-bike charging facilities, it is more convenient for residents to recharge. "In the past, there was only one charging point in two buildings on our side, but now the charging interface has been doubled, and the freedom of charging time has basically been realized." Gao Shiping said with a smile.
Since the installation of the first charging point in the community in 2020, Huating Apartment has continued to distribute points in each building as planned. At present, there are 17 charging points and 309 charging interfaces in the community. "Let the electric bicycle be charged safely and stored in an orderly manner, blindly 'forbidden' and 'blocked' is certainly not the best solution, and by gradually laying out more nearby charging points, it is convenient for residents to charge at the 'doorstep', so as to solve the charging problem." Zhou Xudong, secretary of the Party branch and director of the neighborhood committee of Huating Apartment Residential Area, added that on the one hand, they have strengthened publicity and inspections to put an end to the chaos of "flying wire charging", and on the other hand, elevator controls have been installed in all elevators, and electric bicycles are strictly prohibited from entering the building.
It is worth mentioning that the community has also installed sprinkler and hanging dry powder fire extinguishing devices in the underground parking garage, and placed fire extinguishers at outdoor charging points to eliminate charging safety hazards.
