On April 19-20, the 2018 China International Electric Vehicle and Charge-for-Exchange Technical Development Forum was held in Shanghai. The forum was jointly sponsored by the China Charging Pile Association, the China Lithium Battery Industry Association, and the First Electric Vehicle Network. BYD, BAIC New Energy, Tsinghua University, State Grid, and the charging of stars, and more than 60 companies from industry organizations, companies and universities attended the forum. The forum aims to promote the rapid and healthy development of China's electric vehicle and battery exchange market, focusing on electric vehicle technology, Charging and replacing technology, power lithium battery and electrical and electronic control industry's new technologies, new concepts, new directions and other topics, integrated industry to promote industry exchange and development.
According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2017, the sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 777,000 units, up 53.3% year-on-year. From January to March 2018, sales of new energy vehicles completed 32,000, 29,000 and 56,000 respectively. Vehicles, with rapid growth year-on-year, good performance in the first quarter of 2018 ushered in the new energy automotive market.
Compared with the booming auto market, what is the charging infrastructure? According to official data released by the China Charging Federation, as of the end of March 2018, members of the alliance reported a total of 253,074 public charging poles. There are 393,103 pieces of information collected by the vehicle manufacturers' sampling vehicle piles, and the total number of charging piles is about 640,000. Although the number of charging piles keeps increasing, there is still a long way to go to solve the problem of charging electric vehicles.
Wan Gang, Minister of Science and Technology, said at the end of 2017 the Clean Energy Conference that it is expected that sales of new energy vehicles will reach 1 million in 2018. The global electric vehicle manufacturers' entry into China will be overwhelming. By then, the number of new energy vehicles in China will exceed 2.73 million. Rapidly increasing charging demand, the construction of charging piles and the upgrading of charging technology are imminent.
2018 China Charging Pile Net - Electric Vehicle Charging and Replacement Committee
In order to better promote the industry's breakthrough in the development bottleneck, the forum established the 'Electric Vehicle Charging Expert Committee', which is led by Li Desheng, the general manager of Wanbang Star Charge R&D, and the board of directors from companies, associations and universities in professional fields. Experts serve as members of the committee and work together to develop strategies for the development of electric vehicle charging and exchanging technologies. From the perspective of the entire industry development, in addition to the difficulty of charging, the grid has large impact, high operating costs, large power consumption, and low proportion of clean energy. Poor user experience, second-hand car evaluation is difficult to constitute six new energy car charging industry have to face the six pain points.
Li Desheng, General Manager of Charge Research and Development of Wanbang Star, analyzes 6 major problems in the industry.
Future charging technology development should follow the 6S principle
Star charging was proposed at the forum. The future development of charging technology should follow the 6S principles of Safe, Saving, Sustainable, Smart, Specific, and Sharing. That is, the development of charging infrastructure should further enhance safety, economy and sustainability, and support intelligence. In an interview with Shanghai TV, Li pointed out the emphasis on charging security and smart development. Security should be studied in terms of principle design, device selection and structural design, and charging. Personal safety, equipment safety and information security are at the top of the list. At the same time, in terms of intelligence, commercialized charging-specific robotic arms and vehicle-pile-level charging site management and remote operation and maintenance systems will be further enhanced in the future. And user experience.
'2018 China Charging Pile Industry's Top 10 Most Influential Brands'
The “2018 China Charging Piling Industry's Top 10 Most Influential Brands” event held at the same time was jointly sponsored by China Charging Pole Association and China Lithium Battery Industry Association. It is the most authoritative charging pile brand selection event in China. Star charging, special calls, Xu Ji, Putian New Energy won the top ten most influential brands.
