Charging pile is divided into three categories, including personal charging pile, public charging pile, special charging pile. In accordance with the market situation, the current electric car consumers have installed at home, personal charging pile, consumers are also accustomed to using slow charge at home charging, and public charging pile is to meet the needs of consumers from time to time, generally more used to fast charge Way to charge.

In the electric car charging project in Germany and Germany, Tsinghua University undertakes research on the construction of private charging facilities. After surveying more than 4,000 communities, it is found that 10% to 15% of the communities are fully able to meet the needs of consumers in purchasing electric vehicles and installing Charging pile needs, followed by about 45% of the area can be transformed into individual consumers to install charging pile.

Professor Ouyang Mingao, a professor of Tsinghua University and head of the overall expert group of major projects of "863" plan for energy-saving and new energy vehicles, believes that there are two factors that restrict the development of China's electric vehicle market at this stage. One is that the product is not rich enough and the other is the foundation Facilities are not mature enough, the third is not convenient enough.

Ouyang Minggao pointed out that the current mileage of electric vehicles are generally about 160 kilometers, and this has been fully able to meet the needs of consumers daily car, if large shopping malls, office buildings, hotels and other semi-public areas set charging pile Can further reduce consumer concerns about the above three points.

According to a survey conducted by a reporter from the "First Financial Daily," most of the public charging facilities that have been built around the country are not for private users. Most of the charging facilities are not located in urban residential areas, and are not open to private users even in urban areas .

In Beijing, for example, there are 38 250 open charging stations in Beijing, but there are only 4 charging stations for public electric vehicles (Tsinghua Science Park, Beijing Institute of Technology, Sijiqing Road and South Third Ring Road). However, only one of the three charging piles located in Sijiqing Road is for passenger cars. Although the charging post in Beijing Institute of Technology is open to the public, it only targets Beiqi pure electric vehicles.

Albrecht Pfeiffer, manager of research and development for new energy charging systems at BMW, listed in its "Solutions for Charging System Strategy, Infrastructure and Charging Devices" that the charging station at Beijing Space Bridge is being used as a private Parking, of which 6 charging piles, 12 charging interface covered with dust, can not see any traces of use. Some residents said, "have not seen a car to recharge it."

In this context, it is neither public nor convenient to rely on the public charging facilities currently installed by the government. On the contrary, the better marketing is the semi-public charging facilities built by some auto enterprises and institutions themselves. Such as some self-owned brand 4S shop built a public charging pile, BMW and Tesla and some commercial real estate, shopping malls and other cooperation, the establishment of public charging parking spaces. However, due to the standard is not uniform, these semi-public charging facilities are still mainly in the embarrassing situation of "who built who, who should be built".
