Efficient conversion of electrical energy

Efficient conversion of electrical energy is a key trend for the future development of charging stations. The energy consumption of electric vehicles is closely related to their operating costs, so reducing energy consumption and improving economy are important factors in promoting the industrialization of electric vehicles. For charging stations, it is crucial to choose charging devices with high energy conversion efficiency and low construction costs, which can ensure that charging stations are not only efficient but also economical.

sharing economy

The application scope of the sharing economy in China is becoming increasingly widespread, from daily necessities to large assets such as cars, all reflecting its core concept of improving asset utilization and reducing costs. In the field of electric vehicles, the proportion of private charging stations in central urban areas is relatively low due to various factors, and electric vehicles are mainly used for daily commuting, resulting in a large number of idle charging stations during the day. Therefore, the sharing of private charging stations can not only meet the charging needs of more electric vehicle owners, but also have the potential to become an emerging business in the sharing economy. If only a quarter of private charging stations are shared, their supply will be close to the number of public charging stations.


12

Integration with traditional energy Internet

The integration of charging piles and traditional energy Internet is an important trend in the future development. This integration means that charging stations can not only be connected to the power grid, but also combined with other traditional energy sources such as natural gas, thereby achieving more efficient and flexible energy management and utilization. This integration can not only improve energy efficiency, but also help reduce energy waste and provide support for building a more sustainable energy system.

Improvement in popularity

The increasing popularity of charging stations is a significant feature in the future development trend. With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles and the strengthening of environmental awareness, the demand for charging stations is also growing rapidly. This includes not only charging stations in public places such as shopping centers, office buildings, and highway service areas, but also charging stations for household and personal use. In addition, the government and relevant agencies are also promoting the popularization of charging stations, such as providing subsidies and preferential policies to encourage more people to purchase and use electric vehicles. Therefore, it is expected that the popularity of charging stations will significantly increase in the future.

Fast charging pile

The future development trend of charging stations is rapid. In order to shorten the charging time, the industry has begun to research and layout high-power DC charging technology that increases the charging voltage of passenger cars from 500V to 800V, and also increases the single gun charging power from 120kW to 350kW or higher. This means that the time it takes for a pure electric passenger car to fully charge can be reduced from around 1 hour to only 10-15 minutes.


15

5G

5G technology has a profound impact on the charging pile industry. In 2019, China began the construction of 5G networks and is expected to officially launch commercial services in 2020. This technological upgrade will not only accelerate the construction efficiency of the charging pile network, but also significantly improve the user experience when using charging piles. In addition, 5G technology will also broaden the application scenarios of charging stations, enabling them to be applied in more fields.
