The charging pile industry developed rapidly, adding 492000 units in the first quarter

According to the data of the Ministry of industry and information technology, as of the first quarter of 2022, the cumulative promotion of new energy vehicles in China has exceeded 10million. The rapid increase in the number of new energy vehicles has also driven the rapid development of the charging pile industry.

However, even though the increment of charging piles is large, in many cities, it is still unable to fully meet the charging needs of car owners. In order to better provide after-sales charging services, many new energy vehicle enterprises have also laid out the charging market.

According to the recent data of China charging Union, from January to March this year, the increment of charging infrastructure was 492000 units. Among them, the increment of public charging infrastructure increased by 96.5% year-on-year; The increment of charging facilities built with vehicles continued to rise, with a year-on-year increase of 538.6%. By March 2022, the national charging infrastructure had reached 3.109 million units, an increase of 73.9% year-on-year.

Zhangjingjing, Secretary General of Shenzhen new energy vehicle operation enterprise association: the momentum of new energy vehicles is getting stronger and stronger

New technology will make long-distance travel more convenient with electric vehicles

While the charging pile industry is experiencing rapid development, the empowerment of charging piles by a number of new technologies is also accelerating.

Mr. Zhang is the owner of a new energy vehicle in Shenzhen. He told reporters that with the improvement of charging facilities in the city, electric vehicle travel has become his first choice. But if you drive an electric car for a long distance, you will still have concerns, mainly because there are few charging piles on the highway and the supporting facilities are not perfect.

The reporter learned that on the DC charging pile, commonly known as the fast charging pile, if a pure electric vehicle with a battery capacity of 100kwh is filled with 120kw, it usually takes 40 to 60 minutes. However, if you need to queue up for charging during the peak passenger flow during long-distance driving, it is likely to take too long to wait for charging, which is also the main reason why many electric vehicle owners are deterred from driving electric vehicles for long-distance travel. However, the reporter also learned that with the rapid iteration of the charging pile technology, now, as far as the charging pile is concerned, it only takes about 10 minutes to fill a 100kwh electric vehicle, and the technology is mature and in the process of gradually landing.

In addition to faster charging time, the combination of charging pile and 5g will also bring the charging market into a more intelligent era. Recently, the first batch of 5g smart charging piles in China jointly constructed by Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau and China Southern Power Grid Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd. were put into operation in Longgang, Shenzhen. This charging pile can not only undertake real-time data collection and analysis functions, but also its built-in 5g communication module can make the data transmission rate reach 50 times the 4G rate.

Wu Tonghao, a communication technician at the power dispatching control center of Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Grid, said: if 5g is applied in the scene of charging pile on a large scale in the future, we can collect diversified user information through 5g, so as to accurately analyze the behavior characteristics of users, and further adjust our layout in terms of charging pile. To a certain extent, it can also reduce the time for other users to wait for charging.
