According to Xu Xinchao, it is expected that the core of the revised charging national standard plan officially released in August this year is to standardize and unify the charging piles of new energy vehicles, and the charging sockets of different models will be unified.
According to the new national standard, the standards of different models of charging plugs will be the same in the future. Xu Xinchao said, "Although there will be differences in voltage and power, it can be used on the same charging pile in theory. In addition, the new national standard pays special attention to the safety of charging piles and has always been the top priority. The standardized charging pile of new energy vehicles will automatically cut off power after charging, making a breakthrough in insulation and avoiding electric shock in rainy days, and avoiding unnecessary dangers of new energy owners during charging. " .
However, the introduction of new standards may lead to the scrapping of a large number of existing charging facilities. Because it involves the interests of many enterprises, this has also become the reason why it is difficult to introduce the new national standard.
Constantly improving is not only the national standard of unified charging, but also a series of policies to encourage the development of charging piles and standardize the standards of charging piles are in the pipeline.
Tong Guangyi, deputy director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, revealed that the "Guide to Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles" and "Guiding Opinions on Charging Infrastructure Construction" led by the Energy Administration will be announced soon. In addition, the National Energy Administration began to formulate the "Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Construction Plan" in June last year, and completed the first draft before the end of last year. It is reported that the current "Planning" can only be released after the final signature of the State Council's top management, and it is expected to be promulgated soon in August. It is expected that the central government will give enterprises a certain proportion of subsidies according to the investment in the construction of charging facilities, and the subsidy ratio is expected to be around 30%.
After solving the compatibility problem of charging piles, the problems that need to be solved are likely to be related to the business model.
Previously, the unclear profit model of charging piles became a major obstacle to development. The data shows that in 20 13 years, due to the high construction cost and operation and maintenance cost, the 400 charging and replacing power stations and 19000 charging piles built by the State Grid were almost unprofitable, and the whole line suffered losses.
The development of charging piles needs the intervention of social forces. Pay attention to the marginal effect of the whole vehicle and must match the industry. Only in this way can the policy be effective. In the mode of "building more piles", enterprises and individuals can cooperate by providing venues or funds to jointly build public charging piles and share the operating income of charging piles. Enterprises and individuals involved in crowdfunding can play one or two roles in this model, such as investors, charging service operators and venue resource providers.
