More than 250,000 charging piles are connected to "one network" and my country's charging facilities will be fully interconnected

In order to accelerate the interconnection of charging piles and improve the convenience of charging new energy vehicles, the State Grid Corporation of China recently announced that its subordinate smart car networking platform is connected with the smart charging service of the Southern Power Grid. The 20 major charging operators in my country and more than 250,000 charging piles are all connected to the "one network", providing "one-stop" services for more than 2 million electric vehicles. So far, my country's electric vehicle charging services have been fully interconnected.

It is reported that the smart car networking platform has established an online real-time monitoring system for charging piles, providing 7×24 hours all-weather online customer service, which can arrive at the scene within one hour in the city and two hours in the highway service area. "In the future, the company will continue to accelerate the construction of the public charging network, build a public charging network covering all cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Shandong region, the Yangtze River Delta region and major cities in other regions, and achieve full coverage of the highway fast charging network in the central and eastern cities." Jiang Bing, chairman of State Grid Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd., introduced.

As the world's largest new energy vehicle market, "difficult to charge and difficult to drive far" has always been widely complained by consumers. Previously, tens of thousands of user data provided by charging operators such as Teladian and charging pile apps showed that 63% of users expressed dissatisfaction with "inconvenient charging", and one of the important reasons was that charging pile operators could not interconnect with each other.

To this end, my country has vigorously promoted the construction of charging facilities and the interconnection of enterprises since 2017, and related problems have been greatly alleviated. The connection between the smart car networking platform and the smart charging service of the Southern Power Grid will further enhance the user experience of new energy vehicles.

According to data released by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, as of August this year, member units of the alliance have reported a total of 279,000 public charging piles, including 123,000 AC charging piles, 93,000 DC charging piles, and 63,000 AC/DC integrated charging piles.
