Gamingdeputy reported on April 14 that the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Transport issued the “Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work on Filling the Shortcomings of County-wide Charging and Swapping Facilities” on Friday, proposing that from 2024 to 2026, the Ministry of Finance The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport (hereinafter referred to as the three departments) will carry out pilot projects to make up for the shortcomings of charging and swapping facilities in counties. During this period, a pilot project of “Thousands of Stores in Hundreds of Counties” will be carried out.Effectively make up for the shortcomings of public charging and swapping infrastructure in rural areas, and strive to achieve “full rural coverage” of charging and swapping infrastructure.

  • Improve the service support capabilities of public charging and swapping infrastructure in rural areas.According to the needs of new energy vehicles in the region and across borders, the construction of public charging and swapping infrastructure should be increased in rural areas suitable for the use of new energy vehicles.The newly built charging and swapping infrastructure in the pilot counties should be open to the whole society, have an availability rate of not less than 99%, and a rated power of more than 120 kilowatts (including 120 kilowatts), and vigorously promote smart fast charging public charging and swapping infrastructure.. Key villages and towns in the pilot counties and surrounding areas should create a demonstration pilot area for the construction and operation of rural public charging and swapping infrastructure with “reasonable layout, rich scenarios, advanced technology, and excellent experience.” Encourage leading enterprises in the construction and operation of battery charging and swapping in various regions to join forces with local power grids, postal services, logistics and other large enterprise groups to accelerate the construction of comprehensive public charging and swapping infrastructure in rural areas that are suitable for the use of new energy vehicles but lack social willingness to invest in public charging and swapping infrastructure. The open-service fast-charging public charging and swapping infrastructure strives to gradually establish a market-oriented operation model of public charging and swapping facilities in rural areas, and continuously improve the public charging and swapping service guarantee capabilities of “weak links” in rural areas.

  • Stimulate the consumption potential of new energy vehicles in pilot counties and surrounding areas.Focus on cultivating charging and swapping application scenarios that are in line with the development characteristics of new energy vehicles in local and surrounding areas.Improve and upgrade county-level postal express outlets, rural logistics nodes, rural passenger and freight stations (including township transportation service stations, rural passenger and freight mail stations, etc.), 3A-level and below tourist attractions, rural highways, comprehensive transportation service stations, etc. Service guarantee capabilities for energy vehicle charging scenarios, and good diversion and connection between charging peak periods during holidays and highway service area charging. Pilot counties should work in the same direction as local new energy vehicle consumption promotion policies to form a stimulating effect on new energy vehicle consumption and promote the willingness to use new energy vehicles in local and surrounding areas. Qualified pilot counties should form linkages with surrounding areas, lay out charging and swapping infrastructure around tourist highways, “Four Good Rural Roads” and other plans, promote “full coverage of cross-county scenarios” for charging and swapping infrastructure, and drive the pilot counties and surrounding areas to The consumption potential of new energy vehicles in the region has increased.

  • Actively cultivate the promotion and application of new technologies and new models in rural areas.Fully combine the local scene application conditions,Actively explore the application of new technologies and new models such as vehicle-to-grid interaction (V2G), fast charging and swapping, liquid-cooled high-power charging, intelligent orderly charging, and wireless charging.. Rural areas with good distributed photovoltaic coverage can build charging infrastructure integrating photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and charging and swapping based on actual conditions.

  • Optimize and improve the support management policy system for charging and swapping facilities.Encourage all localities to introduce support policies for the construction of public charging and swapping infrastructure based on the actual conditions of the region, ensure the demand for land for charging and swapping infrastructure and supporting power grid construction, speed up the approval process for charging and swapping infrastructure and supporting power grid construction, and expand charging and swapping infrastructure Financing channels for investment and operation enterprises. Encourage charging infrastructure stations to be leased for 10 years or more to reduce land use risks for operating companies and guide companies to continue operating in the long term.Encourage local governments to introduce financial support policies such as construction and operation subsidies, land rent reductions and exemptions, and electricity price concessions based on local conditions.. Strengthen charging and swapping infrastructure construction and installation quality and safety management, establish an accident liability review system, and form a complete charging and swapping infrastructure support and management policy system.

In terms of quota allocation, from 2024 to 2026, the three departments will allocate provincial pilot county quotas based on the current local development status and future potential of new energy vehicles and public charging and swapping infrastructure, geographical area, number of counties in the province, and current financial conditions. There are a total of 70 pilot counties in the first batch.
