What is the supply situation of charging piles built by State Grid?

As an important part of the electric vehicle industry chain, the supply of charging piles is of great significance to the development of electric vehicles. This article will focus on analyzing the supply of charging piles built by the State Grid, including supply scale, geographical distribution, technical level, etc., and put forward suggestions for the future supply of charging piles of the State Grid.

1. Supply scale of charging piles of State Grid

In recent years, with the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, State Grid, as one of the most important power companies in my country, has increased its investment in charging pile construction. According to data released by the China Charging Alliance, as of 2023, the number of charging piles owned by State Grid has reached 1 million, accounting for more than 50% of the total number of public charging piles in the country. In addition, State Grid is continuing to increase its efforts in charging pile construction, and plans to build a total of 10 million charging piles by 2025.

2. Geographical distribution of State Grid charging piles

The regional distribution of charging piles of the State Grid varies greatly. At present, the construction of charging piles in my country is mainly concentrated in first-tier cities and some second-tier cities with rapid development of new energy vehicles, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, etc. There is a strong demand for charging piles in these regions, and the market potential is huge. In the future, as electric vehicles become more popular in third- and fourth-tier cities, the construction of charging piles of the State Grid will gradually extend to these regions.

3. Technical level of charging piles of State Grid

The technical level of State Grid charging piles is constantly improving. At present, State Grid charging piles mainly use DC fast charging technology, which has fast charging speed and high efficiency. At the same time, State Grid is also actively developing and applying advanced technologies such as wireless charging and smart charging. In addition, State Grid charging piles also have complete protection functions, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, leakage protection, etc., to ensure the safe and stable operation of charging piles.

IV. Suggestions on the future supply of charging piles for the State Grid

1. Strengthen the planning of charging pile construction

The State Grid should strengthen the construction planning of charging piles according to the development trend of the electric vehicle industry to ensure that the supply of charging piles matches the market demand. In the planning process, it is necessary to fully consider factors such as urban development, traffic layout, and the popularization of electric vehicles to improve the scientificity and rationality of charging pile construction.

2. Optimize the geographical distribution of charging stations

The State Grid should optimize the geographical distribution of charging piles, increase the construction of charging piles in third- and fourth-tier cities, and improve the coverage rate of charging piles. In addition, it can also cooperate with local governments, enterprises, etc., utilize social resources, and jointly promote the construction of charging piles.

3. Improve the technical level of charging piles

The State Grid should continue to improve the technical level of charging piles and increase the research and development and application of new technologies. In addition, it should also pay attention to the development of international charging pile technology, keep pace with international advanced technologies, and improve the international competitiveness of the State Grid's charging piles.

4. Improve supporting services for charging piles

The State Grid should improve the supporting services of charging piles and enhance the user charging experience. For example, it can develop a charging pile app to realize the information management of charging piles, which is convenient for users to query and make reservations for charging piles; it can also provide charging pile repair and maintenance services to ensure the normal operation of charging piles.

The State Grid's construction of charging piles has the following advantages:

1. Resource integration advantage: As one of the most important power companies in my country, State Grid has abundant power resources and can make full use of existing power grid facilities to provide strong support for the construction of charging piles. At the same time, State Grid has strong resource integration capabilities and can effectively mobilize the forces of all parties to promote the construction of charging piles.

2. Technical advantages: State Grid has rich technical accumulation and experience in the field of electricity, which can be applied to the construction of charging piles. In addition, State Grid is also actively developing and applying new technologies, such as smart charging and wireless charging, to improve the technical level of charging piles.

3. Network advantages: State Grid has a complete power transmission network across the country, which can provide a convenient channel for the construction of charging piles. At the same time, State Grid can quickly build a charging pile network and improve the coverage rate of charging piles by integrating existing network resources.

4. Policy support advantage: As a state-owned enterprise, State Grid can get strong support from the government, including funding, policies, etc. In addition, State Grid also enjoys brand advantages, which is conducive to attracting social capital to participate in the construction of charging piles.

5. Operation and management advantages: State Grid has rich experience in power operation and management, which can be applied to the operation and management of charging piles to improve the efficiency and safety of charging piles. At the same time, State Grid can also reduce the operating costs of charging piles and improve profitability by introducing advanced operation and management models.

In summary, the State Grid has advantages in building charging piles in terms of resource integration, technology, network, policy support and operation management. In the future, the State Grid should give full play to these advantages, increase the construction of charging piles, and provide strong support for the development of the electric vehicle industry. As an important force in the construction of charging piles in my country, the supply of the State Grid is of great significance to the development of the electric vehicle industry. In the future, the State Grid should strengthen the planning of charging pile construction, optimize the regional distribution, improve the technical level, and improve supporting services to provide strong support for the development of the electric vehicle industry.
