How to "cars and other piles" to "pile and other cars"

During the two sessions this year, energy-saving emission reduction and environmental governance continued to be the focus of concern for the deputies, and many proposals concerning the motions of automobiles were centered around topics such as new energy vehicles and other people's livelihoods. The construction of new energy infrastructure became a hot topic.

On the one hand, it is the continuous improvement of the public’s awareness of green travel and the government’s high priority, while on the other is the hesitation of social capital. The hot and embarrassing situation of the government and enterprises has caused the construction of charging facilities to lag significantly behind and has become the “last mile” for the development of new energy vehicles.

The construction of charging facilities involves multiple departments and concerns the interests of multiple parties. Due to the failure to find a reasonable profit model, the current construction mainly depends on the government to promote. Through the formulation of preferential policies, the government has become a "payer" for the construction of charging facilities and a "transfusionist" for operating companies. However, relying solely on administrative forces cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the backwardness of the construction of charging facilities. It must rely on the strength of the market to form the operating mechanism of government guidance, market promotion, and social participation, and promote the rapid development of charging facilities.

To solve such problems, it is bound to require design from the top level. At present, the entire industry chain is not mature, and the government should still be the first promoter to further improve relevant policies and regulations. For example, the construction of charging piles will be incorporated into urban development plans, detailed supporting policies will be formulated, support for infrastructure construction will be increased, pricing guidelines for charging and charging service charges will be introduced, and the bottleneck of the development of stuck electric vehicles will be effectively solved.

More importantly, it is necessary to orderly release market access and attract more entrepreneurs, innovators, and entrepreneurs into the charging infrastructure market. Social capital is more aware of the specific needs of consumers, has better business ideas and service awareness, and has a promising market for charging facilities.

The development of the industry cannot be separated from the problem of the masses becoming a minority. The dividends of the industry should also be shared by the general public, not just monopolized by several enterprises. Changzhou’s “Planning for Construction” has turned the concerns of a few people into hot events for the whole society by relying on the masses, which not only promoted the construction of charging piles, increased the sales of new energy vehicles, but also made new energy a universal concern of the public. The topic of achieving multi-win-win results is a successful example.

In addition to improving the layout of charging facilities and increasing the number of charging piles, it is also necessary to build an efficient charging service network. Using the "Internet +" thinking can effectively solve the problem of "there is no place to recharge the car, no one cares about the station".

At present, the number of new energy vehicles is insufficient, and social capital has a limited incentive to build charging facilities. Where there are complaints, there are business opportunities. In the process of promoting new energy vehicles, we need to look at the relationship between cars and piles dialectically. Difficulties in charging should not be the pain point for the promotion of new energy vehicles, but should be the breakthrough point for the promotion of new energy vehicles.

Undoubtedly, the healthy growth of electric vehicles and charging stations is a relatively slow interactive process. Government and operating companies are required to cooperate with each other, to innovate boldly, and to increase the degree of marketization, so as to achieve the transition from "cars and other piles" to "pillars and other cars." . As one expert puts it, “Only the new energy vehicles on the road can run more and more before more consumers can understand and accept it”.
