High-power Charging, A New Bright Spot

High-power Charging is becoming a new highlight of the industry.

Since the beginning of this year, China's new energy vehicle market has developed rapidly, and charging piles, as an important new infrastructure, are accelerating the layout and expanding the scale. The latest data show that by the end of July this year, the number of charging piles in the country reached 10.604 million units, an increase of 53% year-on-year. Among them, high-power charging is becoming a new highlight of China's charging pile industry.

What is high power charging? In what scenarios is its application mainly concentrated? The relevant person in charge of the China electric vehicle charging infrastructure Promotion Alliance told reporters that the high-power charging pile is mainly concentrated in the DC pile in the public charging pile, which is usually said to be moChongqing to create a "supercharging city", will build 2,000 supercharging stations not only in the field of commercial vehicles, personal new energy vehicles have also begun to have a "one kilometer per second", "a cup of coffee, full power start" experience. At present, many places in the country have proposed to build a "supercharging city", and intensively introduced relevant policies to accelerate the construction of supercharging stations.

The biggest advantage of high-power charging is that the charging speed is greatly improved. In our country, the first closed-loop application is the supercharge card. Since July, the Yuxi Supercharger station in Yunnan has been busy since it was officially put into use. Because it is on the important node of national road logistics transportation, there is an endless stream of pure electric heavy trucks coming here every day to charge.

Driver Chen Jingfu: According to our current transportation route, compared with fuel trucks, pure electric heavy trucks can save about 900 yuan a day in energy saving fuel costs, and a car saves nearly 300,000 yuan a year. Master Chen said, heavy truck running transportation, the most delay is time. Now, within 15 minutes, a charging gun can increase the power of an electric heavy truck by more than 60%, which was previously unimaginable.

Chongqing to create a "supercharging city", will build 2,000 supercharging stations not only in the field of commercial vehicles, personal new energy vehicles have also begun to have a "one kilometer per second", "a cup of coffee, full power start" experience. At present, many places in the country have proposed to build a "supercharging city", and intensively introduced relevant policies to accelerate the construction of supercharging stations. Chongqing proposed that by the end of 2025, more than 2,000 supercharging stations and more than 4,000 supercharging piles will be built. Beijing also recently released information that it is expected that 500 supercharging stations will be built by the end of 2024, and strive to double the number to 1,000 by the end of 2025.

In the interview, experts also said that it is not necessary to build high-power charging piles in any scenario, but to adapt to local conditions and reasonable layout. Experts said that in the field of public charging, such as the scene of the highway, vehicle charging often needs fast and efficient high-power charging piles, but in the scene of residential communities, more is based on ordinary slow charging piles, which can be equipped with some high-power charging piles. Therefore, for a city, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions and rationally layout the construction of charging infrastructure.
