Why is it difficult to charge new energy vehicles
It is undeniable that the sudden increase in traffic flow is a major reason for the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles. Such a large amount of electricity consumption and frequency of electricity consumption tests the guarantee supply ability and emergency service ability of new energy vehicle charging facilities. Moreover, the utilization rate of expressway charging piles is extremely low, and the meager income in the later period cannot cover the large cost investment in the early stage, which hinders the construction of expressway charging piles.
In recent years, with the vigorous advancement of charging pile infrastructure construction, the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles has been alleviated to a certain extent. However, the problems of low utilization rate of public charging piles and low installation rate of private charging piles still exist.
On the one hand, with the continuous increase in the popularity of new energy vehicles, the number of charging piles in some areas is insufficient, which affects the experience of using new energy vehicles; on the other hand, due to unreasonable layout and inadequate maintenance, some There are also fault piles and zombie piles in places, resulting in waste and idle resources. In addition, due to the large number of vehicle pile manufacturers, the standards are not uniform enough, and the incompatibility of the charging interface still exists. These problems need to be addressed and optimized by relevant departments.
What should I do if it is difficult for new energy vehicles to queue up to charge?
1. Buy a model with strong battery life
As we all know, pure Electric vehicles can run long distances, but it is best to do your homework in advance, such as knowing the location of the charging piles before you set off, so as not to run into the nest halfway. But if the battery life of your pure electric vehicle is strong enough, you can avoid the step of knowing the charging pile information in advance, because you can run all the way to the end without worrying about running out of electricity.
2. High-speed charging and rest
During long holidays, the high-speed service area must be full of people, so many people choose to take a high-speed rest, which will save time. In fact, charging can also be done in the same way. Before you go, find out in advance the service areas that support charging and the cities with charging stations near the road. If there are too many people queuing for charging in the service area, you can choose a charging pile in a nearby city, so that you don’t have to queue for a long time, and you will naturally spend a lot less time on the road.
3. Increase the charging speed/increase the number of charging piles
In fact, in addition to flexible response, new energy vehicle owners can also look forward to the increase in the charging speed and number of charging piles in the future. Only when charging piles are everywhere and the charging speed is significantly accelerated, can the problem of difficult charging of new energy vehicles be fundamentally solved. Action is the only way to break the deadlock. Speed up the construction of expressway charging facilities, so that more car owners are willing to choose new energy vehicles during long-distance travel, and use this to promote more forces to join the construction of charging facilities, forming a virtuous circle, which is the solution to the difficulty of charging expressways during peak periods. The essential.
4. Increase the popularity of battery-swappable models
Since the current charging speed of charging piles is still unsatisfactory, then another way is to choose new energy vehicles that support battery-swapping. The reason why some brands of new energy vehicles can be mixed is actually related to the constantly improving power exchange network. However, it is undeniable that the coverage rate of swap stations is still very low today, making it more difficult to meet the needs of new energy vehicle owners. However, the power exchange efficiency of the power exchange station shows that it is a good supplement to the charging pile. If the popularity of power exchange models and power exchange stations can be increased, the acceptance of new energy vehicles by consumers should be greatly improved.
5. Follow up the maintenance of the existing charging piles
Some charging piles in the expressway service areas are damaged to varying degrees, which seriously affects the use efficiency. Some charging piles have no power access, and some charging piles have problems and cannot contact the service provider, resulting in the charging piles becoming “charging devices”. In the face of the growing number of charging piles for new energy vehicles, professional maintenance and repair personnel must also follow up in time to ensure that the equipment can be used normally. In addition, relevant departments should effectively supervise the quality and actual use of charging pile products, encourage service providers to provide high-quality services, and severely crack down on the phenomenon of individual companies defrauding subsidy funds.
6. Drive a fuel vehicle for travel
At present, people who choose to buy new energy vehicles are likely to have one or more fuel vehicles at home. If you don’t want to experience charging for one hour and queuing for four hours, then you can directly drive a fuel car. This is the safest and most worry-free way to run long distances. As for new energy vehicles, it is quite competent as a scooter for daily commuting, and the driving comfort will be significantly better than that of fuel vehicles, and the cost of using the car is lower, which is more suitable for working people.
