Government Pushes for Development of Intelligent and Orderly Charging Piles

【Policy Continuously Strengthening the Development of Charging Piles】On January 4, 2024, the National Development and Reform Commission and four other departments jointly released the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Integration and Interaction of New Energy Vehicles and the Grid" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions"), proposing to vigorously cultivate a new industrial ecology of vehicle-grid integration and interaction, providing strong support for the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure and the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.

The "Implementation Opinions" clearly propose to vigorously promote intelligent and orderly charging facilities. In principle, newly built charging piles shall uniformly adopt intelligent and orderly charging piles. The intelligent transformation of existing charging piles will be promoted as needed, which is expected to bring about a new wave of construction boom. It is expected to initially carry out large-scale pilot demonstrations of vehicle-grid interaction in relatively mature regions such as the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Shandong region, and Sichuan-Chongqing, striving to build 5 or more demonstration cities and more than 50 bidirectional charging and discharging demonstration projects by the end of 2025.
