Beijing public charging pile investigation in the use of a difficult case?

As more and more new energy vehicles enter Chinese homes, the challenges of charging come, according to China Voice News. By the end of April, the number of new energy vehicles in China was about 2 million, and the number of electric charging piles in the country was more than 450,000, of which more than half were public, according to the latest data from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance. The number of public charging piles in Beijing is now about 40000, the highest in the country, but there are still plenty of electric car owners in Beijing who say there are too few public charging piles to charge. What's the truth?

According to a CCTV reporter, an electric car owner told reporters, mainly on weekends, the parking here is basically all fuel vehicles, it is difficult to have a free position, can not charge basically rely on luck.

Mr Ho, who also lives in Beijing's Chaoyang district, has the same problems. Mr Ho recently bought a new-energy car. Although the charging pile is very close to home, each time he comes to see that the parking space for the charging pile is occupied by the fuel truck. The six charging pile parking spaces are full of cars, and half of them are occupied by fuel trucks. He told reporters that such phenomena are common and give him a headache.

After sitting for an hour, the reporter found an owner who was anxious to charge the charge. The owner said: "As it is now, my car is running out of electricity and charging here, but the parking spaces are occupied, so I can not wait now. "

A similar situation is common in Beijing, where journalists at a new energy vehicle charging station in the ground floor of an international shopping mall saw a total of 20 charging piles, with the exception of two empty parking spaces, which were parked in 18 parking spaces. Only two of them are new energy vehicles that are being charged, and the others are fuel trucks.

In addition, in a parking lot in Shijingshan District, Beijing, reporters found that all the charging piles were filled with fuel trucks. Nearby security guards said that the fuel trucks occupied public parking spaces for charging piles were not controlled at all.

In the Beijing motor vehicle parking regulations, which were formally implemented in May this year, Beijing made it clear that non-electric vehicles should not occupy berths reserved for electric vehicles, and that traffic control departments of public security organs should order them to make corrections and punish them according to law. However, at present, many fuel car owners do not understand this provision. The relevant departments need to refine and publicize the relevant content as soon as possible, provide guarantees for the operation of charging services, and maintain service order.

In addition to the seat of the fuel truck, there are also new energy owners who reflect a problem that makes them more headache. It is hard to find a parking space with a charging pile, but it is still not charged. According to a CCTV reporter's investigation, the failure of the charging pile became the focus of the owner's complaint. Some people said that several piles were not charged with electricity and there were many parking fees. In a ground parking lot in Beijing's Shijingshan District, Mr. Li, who came to charge his car, said he was having trouble charging: "The charging pile is broken. I'm charging on the West Three Flags, and half of them are bad. "

According to Mr. Li's reaction, the reporter went to a parking lot in the nearby Lugu Street and found a total of three public charging piles. However, when he approached, he discovered that one of the charging piles was a black screen. The reporter wiped it with his hand and there was a thick layer of ash on it. The screen of the other two charging piles was lit, but the screen showed that the device was suspended and the charged gun had been damaged.

In an open-air parking lot on the Western Third Ring Road, the reporter discovered Mr. Liu who was making a repair phone. He told the reporter that because there was no charge pile at home, the public charge pile was his only source of endurance, but he often encountered a charge pile failure. For example, the screen is broken, the stun gun is broken.

About an hour or so, the maintenance inspector arrived at the scene for repairs. "It's mainly because of the old and new national standards for electric vehicles," said the inspector. All of our current charging piles are the 2015 version of the new national standard, and many of our electric vehicles before 2017 will be the 2011 version of the old national standard, resulting in a mismatch between the charging guns of the new national standard and the interface of the vehicles. You need to artificially unlock him. "

With more and more electric car users in Beijing, the intensity of the work is so high that about 1800 piles are involved, and roughly 150 work orders are being picked up every day, operators told reporters. The relevant person in charge told reporters that the main maintenance is the external parts of the charging pile, such as the screen, cable, including buttons maintenance rate and failure rate is high.

Chenhaiyang, head of Beijing power company of national power grid, said that nearly 60 % of the workload in the operation is to deal with these man-made failures every day to replace spare parts. Therefore, I hope electric owners can take care of and correctly use charging piles. "

Beijing has the largest number of electric charging piles in the country, but it is difficult to find in the process of use. How can this situation be solved? According to Xuyanhua, Secretary General of the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, charging facilities are public and public welfare. Therefore, the government and the automotive industry, charging facility operation industry, and property and other social forces need to work together to build the entire development environment for charging facilities.

The survey found that although the usage rate of public charging piles in Beijing is still about 10 %, such charging data has significantly improved compared to 2016 and 2017. A number of charging pile operators said that they are actively improving related services, increasing the use rate of public charging piles, and giving new energy owners a better user experience.

Shi Shuanglong, head of the National Grid Smart Car Network Platform Construction Operation and Maintenance Center, said that where the utilization rate is relatively high, ground locks have been installed. Electric owners need to sweep the code to start charging, the lock can be lowered, the fuel truck does not charge, can not use this parking space. Charging piles can now judge 50 types of faults themselves and will be automatically uploaded to the platform when a failure occurs. The platform monitors the charging piles and distributes maintenance work orders in real time. The maintenance personnel require 15 minutes to pick up the orders and arrive at the scene within one hour in the city.

With the expansion of the market space for electric vehicles, it is difficult to solve the public charging pile charging, or otherwise it will restrict the popularity of electric vehicles. Zhaoqiang, an expert on new energy vehicles, said that long management and maintenance are needed, including governments, companies and individuals. Through multiple co-governance, we all work together to make charging stations healthier and better meet the actual needs of ordinary consumers, whether now or in the future.

In addition, experts also stressed that public charging piles can not be built at once, but also need to look at the long-term, necessary support and cultivation can not be missing. On the one hand, we should provide policy guarantee, provide system guarantee for charging service operation, and maintain service order; On the other hand, we should mobilize the enthusiasm of new energy vehicle consumption, and increase the utilization rate of new energy vehicle charging piles by expanding the market and improving services.

The "Guidelines for the Development of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure(2015-2020)" states that by 2020, China will have built 4.8 million electric charging piles to meet the requirements for charging 5 million new energy vehicles, including 500,000 decentralized charging piles and 4.3 million private charging piles. With only two years to go until 2020, it is hoped that the "hard" situation will no longer occur.
