How to solve the problem that Weimar can't issue private piles? Society urgently needs new ideas and new solutions.

"Every time I listen to the owner complaining about the difficulty in installing the charging pile, I feel very heavy. In 202 1 year, Weimar delivered more than 40,000 vehicles, but nearly 20,000 charging piles delivered with the vehicle could not be delivered. " Freeman Shen, founder, chairman and CEO of Weimar Automobile, expressed helplessness in his Weibo.

Weimar automobile is not the only one that has a charging pile but can't send it out. But the reason why the charging pile can't be sent out is not that the owner doesn't want it, but that the installation of private charging piles is full of problems for various reasons. The charging problems caused by a series of charging piles such as "large distance between public piles" and "insufficient installation rate of private piles" have once again attracted public attention.

At present, new energy vehicles are developing rapidly. The data shows that the penetration rate of the domestic new energy vehicle market rose to 21,1 1 .7%. Some analysts believe that the market penetration rate of domestic new energy vehicles will be around 30% next year. However, the charging pile is not installed in place, and the charging anxiety of the owner needs to be alleviated. If the wishes of users and "Freeman Shen" are met, and all the charging piles are sent out to achieve the ideal state of "one car, one pile", can the problem of energy replenishment be easily solved?

The installation of private piles is full of challenges.

According to the data of Toubao Research Institute, as of 2020, the growth rate of the number of charging piles in China is only about a quarter of the growth rate of new energy vehicles. Among them, public charging piles account for 42%, and the main suppliers are from special calls, star charging and State Grid. The beautiful vision of "one car and one pile" is not easy to realize. What is the reason?

According to the survey results of China Charging Alliance, three factors, namely, the pile built by the group users themselves, the lack of fixed parking spaces in the residence and the uncoordinated property in the residence, are the main reasons for not building charging facilities with the vehicle, accounting for 48.6%, 10.3% and 9.9% respectively, with a total of 68.8%.

"We don't have a fixed parking space, so we can't install private charging piles. The first thing we do when we come back from work every day is to look for public charging piles nearby. Finding piles is a matter of luck, and there are often cases where there are no idle charging piles or equipment failures. " A new energy owner said.

In fact, even new energy owners with parking spaces cannot install private charging piles smoothly.

Generally speaking, the installation of charging piles often requires the property to issue an installation license certificate and stamp it, and then the grid staff will conduct on-site investigation to see whether the grid capacitance at the connection position of charging piles meets the requirements, and finally consider the wiring and pipeline costs for installing charging piles.

However, from the experience shared by car owners, the first level has made many people unable to own private charging piles. "Our community is relatively old, and the residential property can't be equipped with charging piles because of safety and other reasons, so I have been picking up the car for half a year and have not installed charging piles so far." Another new energy owner also talked about his troubles.

The installation of private charging piles in residential areas does have objective reasons of insufficient capacity and high cost. Take 500 residential quarters as an example. Originally equipped with three transformers, the total power is 3000kva, and the household capacity is 6kw. Based on the calculation of 7kw of slowly filled piles, "one pile per vehicle" is equivalent to 500 more households, which is unbearable for the original power grid.

If the community expands, the cost of expansion is not small. Simply calculate, the cost of a transformer is about 200,000 yuan. In addition, the cables have to be rewired, and the expansion cost of each transformer is as high as several hundred thousand yuan. How to share the cost and how to carry out safety management are all practical problems in front of residential property.

"So it is really difficult for us to coordinate the process of installing charging piles with property, power grid and 4S shops." The above-mentioned new energy owners said helplessly.

"Car Enterprise+Real Estate" explores a new stacking mode.

If new energy vehicles want to develop rapidly, the charging problem must be solved. In particular, the problems of charging piles, such as "far public piles", "high failure rate of public piles" and "convenient installation of private piles", need to rely on social overall planning, technological development, optimization of energy-supplementing resource allocation mechanism, multi-party cooperation and multi-party flowering to be effectively solved.

At the policy level, more and more policies are introduced. For example, Shanghai proposes to solve the problem of charging piles in line with the principle of building fast charging charging charging piles first and then building vehicles; Beijing has also put forward the idea of "private piles", and at the same time requires old communities to build parking spaces and charging piles.

At the level of residential property, how to meet the needs of residents and transform the old residential capacitors is a problem that needs multi-party coordination. Secondly, it is necessary to simplify the procedures of charging condition confirmation, telegraph installation and facility construction.

However, if car owners have a better charging experience, car companies, charging facility service operators and other parties in the industrial chain are also a key link. Especially for car companies, providing charging piles for users is only one aspect, and it is also necessary to consider how to help users land from the perspective of how to install charging piles smoothly.

It is worth noting that Weimar is trying to cooperate with real estate developers to let private charging piles enter the community faster. Specifically, Weimar has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Agile Group, a well-known high-end real estate company in China, and Agile Group is one of the shareholders of its D2 round of financing. The two sides will cooperate to build a charging and replacing system, further deepen the layout of private charging piles, ensure that 65,438+000% of their new residential buildings are equipped with parking spaces or reserved construction and installation conditions, and plan the public charging area of new residential areas. Moreover, the data shows that Agile's property management service sector has covered 199 cities. This means that Agile, which has the advantage of community contact, can also try to coordinate resources and help Weimar users to build charging piles in the community, thus avoiding many difficulties in the process of handling.

In addition, in line with the concept of making better use of resources, Weimar Express has been laying out the field of public charging infrastructure. At present, the public charging network suitable for Weimar has covered 36 1 city in China, providing users with more than 440,000 public charging piles.

In fact, many electric vehicle companies are also considering introducing the data of public charging piles into the brand's App to ensure the user's charging convenience. Through self-built charging piles or third-party cooperation, as well as various flexible charging methods such as slow charging, fast charging and ultra-fast charging, electric vehicle companies are "showing their magic" to solve the charging problem.

Exploring the layout of charging piles from multiple angles reflects the innovative thinking of electric vehicle enterprises. However, it should be noted that the real solution to the charging problem requires the wisdom of all parties and tests the overall coordination ability of society. It is believed that with the popularization of new energy vehicles and the joint efforts of all parties, the problem of energy replenishment will eventually be solved, and the travel of new energy vehicles will be more worth looking forward to.
