The 1,500 charging piles built in Guangzhou in the first half of the year still cannot keep pace

In Guangzhou, the production and sales of new energy vehicles have grown rapidly, and the number of charging piles built is far from keeping pace
.
According to statistics, Guangzhou built more than 1,500 charging piles in the first half of this year, and 46 new charging piles are needed every day in the second half of the year to keep up with the development speed
of new energy vehicles.

A few days ago, the Guangzhou Municipal Government passed the interim measures for promoting the construction and management of electric vehicle charging and replacement facilities, requiring new residential areas and social parking lots to build or reserve charging facilities (interfaces) at a rate of not less than 18% of the planned number of parking spaces, and a series of supporting conveniences for electricity fees and services have also been introduced
.

In April last year, Guangzhou issued two documents, the "New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Work Plan" and the "New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Work Plan", which plan to promote 10,000 new energy vehicles in the city in 2015, including 2,000 buses, 1,000 taxis, 2,000 official cars, 1,000 special vehicles such as sanitation postal logistics, and 4,000 vehicles for private use
.
In order to match these 10,000 new energy vehicles, the document also requires the construction of 105 charging stations and 9,970 charging piles, and the ratio of new charging piles to the promotion of electric vehicles must reach almost 1:1
.

More than two months later, at the executive meeting of the municipal government on June 29, the "Guangzhou Interim Measures for Promoting the Construction and Management of Electric Vehicle Charging and Swapping Facilities" was adopted, which further clarified the planning and goals of charging pile construction: newly built residential areas and social parking lots should reserve charging pile construction conditions
at a ratio of not less than 18% of the planned number of parking spaces.

In Guangzhou, newly built residential areas and social parking lots should reserve charging pile construction conditions at a ratio of not less than 18% of the planned number of parking spaces; Newly built commercial service facilities such as business, shopping malls, and hotels shall reserve the construction conditions for charging piles at a ratio of not less than 18% of the planned number of parking spaces; Residential areas, social parking lots and commercial service facilities such as business, shopping malls and hotels that have been built or are under construction should be built charging piles
in combination with actual needs and site construction conditions.
Public institutions and qualified enterprise internal parking lots shall plan to set up special parking spaces for electric vehicles and build charging piles
at a ratio of not less than 10% of the planned number of parking spaces.
