black plastic bags/Photo Beijing Youth Daily
On September 5, the A6 page of Beijing Youth Daily published an
investigative report "Charging pile "cemetery" near Beijing Crab Island", which
found that a large-scale "zombie pile" appeared in the parking lot near the east
gate of Crab Island Resort. About 40 new energy vehicle charging piles are all
idle, and most of them are damaged. In this regard, the Beijing Urban Management
Committee responded for the first time to the question "Why is the usage rate of
public charging piles low?" The relevant person in charge said that low usage
rate does not mean that they are useless. The important role of public charging
piles is to provide travel protection for new energy vehicles. , playing the
"escort role of standing guard with guns."
Therefore, ensuring the safety and normal operation of public charging
piles is a more critical factor. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned
that the city is studying the assessment and reward policy for public charging
piles to guide and urge enterprises to strengthen the daily maintenance and
management of public charging piles to ensure that charging piles can operate
safely and normally and reduce the incidence of failures.

The charging piles in the abandoned parking lot of Crab Island have all
been covered
On September 3, a reporter from Beiqing Daily discovered an abandoned
parking lot near the east gate of Crab Island Resort, which contained about 40
idle new energy vehicle charging piles. Most of the charging piles were damaged.
Due to being unused for a long time, some charging piles have exposed charging
cables and have to be wrapped in plastic bags; some have been entangled by
vines; and some have even been scorched by fires.
Yesterday afternoon, a reporter from Beiqing Daily visited again and found
that the charging piles on site were all wrapped in black plastic bags, and the
weeds in the parking lot had also been trimmed.
Regarding this idle charging pile, the person in charge of Xingxing
Charging, the investment, construction and operator, said that the area where
the charging pile is located is near the starting point of the "electric bus
serial fire" in May last year, and 38 charging piles were affected. The fire
investigation has not yet been completed. In accordance with the requirements of
relevant government departments and in order to cooperate with the investigation
and evidence collection, the charging piles in this area cannot yet be
removed.
After the report was published, Star Charging immediately took corrective
measures, covering all charging piles in the area, and planned to add bulletin
boards and warning lines to remind tourists that the charging piles in the area
were unavailable. Photography/Reporter Yuan Yi
respond
"Usage rate" is not the only indicator for evaluating charging piles
At present, a total of about 130,000 charging piles have been built in the
city. Among them, there are about 95,000 private charging piles, nearly 15,000
charging piles built in units, and about 20,000 public charging piles. Public
charging piles are mainly distributed in public parking lots such as shopping
malls, transportation hubs, and highway service areas, with an average
utilization rate of 6% to 7%, which is relatively low.
Nan Bin, director of the Comprehensive Management Division of Gas and
Electricity Stations of the Municipal Urban Management Committee, believes that
the low usage rate of public charging piles does not mean that they are useless.
"Public charging piles play an escort role of standing guard with guns." At
present, new energy vehicles are still in the rapid development stage, the
number of new energy private vehicles is growing, and service support vehicles
such as buses, sanitation, logistics, and taxis are also gradually "new
"Energy", which means that the demand for charging piles will increase in the
future. Therefore, the important role of public charging piles is to provide
travel guarantee for new energy vehicles.
"'Usage rate' is not the only indicator to evaluate the value of charging
piles." Nan Bin said that the usage rate of public charging piles built in
remote scenic spots and highway service areas is also very low. But once someone
drives to these scenic spots or drives on the highway, it is necessary to ensure
that they can travel smoothly and not be unable to come back midway.
Study and assess whether public charging piles are operating normally
For some public charging piles with low usage rates, operating companies
often reduce maintenance and management costs. Due to neglect of management, the
probability of charging pile failure increases. A reporter from Beiqing Daily
learned that the city is studying the assessment and reward policy for public
charging piles, guiding and urging enterprises to strengthen the daily
maintenance and management of public charging piles, ensuring that charging
piles can operate safely and normally, and reducing the incidence of
failures.
"Public charging piles must ensure that the electricity is flowing, the
'gun' is good, the 'pile' is usable, and the screen is not damaged." Some
industry experts believe that the assessment and reward policy for public
charging piles can be through government funding incentives. , guide enterprises
to focus on operation and maintenance and improve management levels. Government
reward funds can be linked to "usage rate", with subsidies based on actual
charging capacity; they can also be linked to "management level", which ensures
the normal operation of charging piles even if the usage rate is not high, and
can be used when really needed. Rewards can also be given. "In this way, those
public charging piles with low utilization rate and high failure rate will not
receive incentive funds, and the companies will find ways to solve the problem
themselves."
clear up doubts
Why are charging piles so underused?
In response to the low usage rate of public charging piles, Nan Bin said
that from a policy perspective, the development idea of "mainly self-
(dedicated) piles, supplemented by public ones" was proposed during the initial
construction. Car owners generally choose to charge new energy vehicles in their
own communities and workplaces, while public charging piles are mainly used for
"temporary power supply" and "emergency charging." The current development
status also shows that private charging piles account for the vast majority.
From the perspective of corporate investment, the company was limited by the
actual conditions of the parking lot and did not conduct demand analysis on the
surrounding environment. Therefore, the layout was unscientific and
unreasonable. In addition, as the cruising range of new energy vehicles
gradually increases, the charging frequency of car owners decreases, which to a
certain extent causes the problem of high idle rate and low utilization rate of
public charging piles.
Nan Bin said that the company has begun to make layout adjustments based on
market demand and increase the number of fast charging piles in places with high
usage of public charging piles. At present, the proportion of DC fast charging
piles among the city's public charging piles has exceeded 60%, which lays the
foundation for the increase in utilization rate in terms of technical
conditions. At the same time, government departments have recently issued the
"Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Construction and Management of
Charging Facilities in Parking Lots", requiring all districts to monitor
existing parking lots (including limited-time parking lots) that have not yet
built charging facilities and are open to the public. Carry out a thorough
review, combine the actual situation and surrounding needs, formulate a planning
plan, and guide the enterprise to make a reasonable layout.
