Universal Theme Park Smart Charging Building started construction and will be completed and put into operation in November

State Grid's "new infrastructure" is fully increased. On April 14, reporters learned that State Grid Corporation of China held a video conference in Beijing to start the construction of new energy vehicle charging facilities in 2020, and started the construction of 126 charging pile projects in 18 provinces (municipalities). On the same day, the construction of the largest smart and orderly charging building in China started at the Beijing Tongzhou Universal Theme Park, and it is expected to be completed and put into use in November. State Grid Beijing Electric Power will build 1,632 new charging piles this year, covering the Beijing-Li Expressway service area, the surrounding areas of the Winter Olympics venues, and the Daxing International Airport Linkong Economic Zone.

According to reports, throughout 2020, the State Grid plans to invest 2.7 billion yuan in charging pile construction and will add 78,000 charging piles. Charging infrastructure has a large investment and a long chain, which is an important guarantee for the development of the new energy vehicle industry. The State Grid said it will accelerate the construction of an internationally leading energy Internet enterprise with Chinese characteristics and promote the construction of new energy vehicle charging facilities. The 126 new energy vehicle charging facility projects that started construction on the same day had an investment scale of 360 million yuan, covering various types of charging infrastructure such as public, dedicated, community, and port shore power.

On the same day, the construction of the country's largest intelligent and orderly charging building started in Tongzhou Universal Theme Park. 861 orderly charging piles and 40 high-power DC charging piles will cover the visitor parking building, resort hotel, city avenues and logistics support areas. It is expected to be completed and put into operation in November, which can fully meet the charging needs of tourists and employees' electric vehicles.

As the city with the largest number of electric vehicles and charging facilities in China, Beijing has built a 10-minute smart charging ecosystem covering public, private and private use. The number of charging piles for electric vehicles of all types in the city has reached 203,100, and the ratio of electric vehicles to charging piles is 5:1, which is at the leading level in China. In 2019, the charging volume of electric vehicles exceeded 1.29 billion kWh, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.72 million tons.

On this basis, according to Beijing's urban development plan and the growth trend of electric vehicles, State Grid Beijing Electric Power will build 1,632 new charging piles this year. Among them, in terms of serving the Green Winter Olympics, six sets of 480-kilowatt high-power group charging and group control charging demonstration stations will be built at the Changping Shangdian and Yanqing Banquan service areas of the Beijing-Li Expressway, which are leading in China, by the end of the year, and the charging efficiency will be increased by 2 times compared with the current level. In the vicinity of the Winter Olympics venues, the scale of charging facility construction will continue to be increased to fully guarantee the charging needs of spectators. Based on the 400 charging piles inside the Daxing New Airport, State Grid Beijing Electric Power will continue to promote the layout of the charging network in the Airport Economic Zone.

In terms of serving private electric vehicles, 288 smart and orderly charging piles will be built in residential areas such as Liumengjiayuan in Fengtai District this year. In terms of charging services, the layout of the existing 124 charging stations will be optimized to make charging resources more in line with customer needs. At the same time, charging preferential activities such as tiered power packages and car-battery packages will be launched to save charging costs for customers such as electric logistics and online car-hailing.

In addition, Beijing Electric Power will also increase the construction of charging piles in the company's internal parking lots to provide services and support for charging of official vehicles and employees' private cars. Innovative demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies such as wireless charging in stereo garages, V2G and charging robots will be carried out to enhance the user charging experience.
