The future prospects of the electric vehicle charging market have begun to attract more and more people's attention, and resources such as policies, technology, and capital have begun to "influx" into the charging pile field.

Last night (May 28) GeekCar held a sharing salon for electric vehicle charging theme on "Charging Bureau, Who Makes the Stump?" in eico design. We invited different participants in this field to share their respective sharing and discussions on charging technology, charging network layout and future Chinese charging market.

Delta Electronics: Charging power from Taiwan

Delta Electronics Business Director Zhan Haoqi

Delta Group, as a global leader in power management and other fields, has also achieved many achievements in the field of electric vehicle charging. At this week’s CES Asia, Ford announced a partnership with Delta, which provides them with smart electric vehicle charging solutions.

, Deda Electronics China Business Director Zhan Haoqi said at GeekCar's event that the charging system covers the entire process of "power generation-transmission-distribution-energy management", and introduced Deda's electric vehicle charging solutions: including energy systems, charging station management systems (SMS), cloud charging network management systems, electric vehicle charging equipment and corresponding software tools.

In terms of charging equipment, Delta's products cover various specifications such as small, medium and large, AC and DC. Currently, the interface is compatible with most mainstream products, and the built-in RFID card can realize user identification and communication functions. At the same time, it is waterproof, dustproof and damage-proof in details such as security.

It is worth mentioning that Delta's charging station management system (SMS) is provided. Delta provides various interfaces and can realize a series of functions such as charging status, energy management, charging equipment architecture, environmental monitoring, charging station operation, etc. based on 4G network, and the technical integration requirements are very high.

As a Taiwanese company, Delta currently has charging stations in Norway, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, Sweden and other countries and regions.

Judian: Put aside the "concept" and look at charging

Judian Technology CEO Jia Xuefeng

Judian CEO Jia Xuefeng has been engaged in finance since graduating from Tsinghua University. Now he has entered the field of electric vehicle charging piles and has his own understanding of the charging industry. He summarized the characteristics of the development direction of the charging pile industry in 2015: intelligence, networking, and marketization. At present, the country and local governments have different levels of charging pile planning, but there is still a lack of relevant forces for charging station operation.

Judian’s team includes talents in different fields such as hardware, the Internet, and finance, and their products include hardware, software, and software and hardware interconnection. Judian makes charging piles and apps, and the two work together to realize the charging of electric vehicles. At the same time, Judian has also tried the "crowdfunding" pile building model. Ordinary consumers can become "pile owners" on Judian's charging network by investing 12,000 yuan. The combination of piles and cloud backends forms a large network to realize the operation of the charging network, which is exactly what Judian wants to achieve.

In the exploration of business models, Jia Xuefeng, who has a financial background, has a lot of room for imagination. In addition to "crowdfunding", the fund operation method will also be used to assist in the construction of charging piles and the operation of charging networks.

I think Judian’s innovation in charging pile financial support is very good. However, when it comes to the landing of charging piles, the steady layout of one pile after another is important, but in this Internet trend of "only fast but not breaking", Judian may also consider the speed of the layout.

Jia Xuefeng also mentioned an interesting phenomenon in his sharing: the charging station they built in Shanghai, and I thought there would be many BMW owners to charge, but the one who came the most was BYD Qin owners. The ability to charge a hybrid car frequently also shows how strong the user's demand for charging is.

Electric pile: The rapid layout of charging piles is in progress

Electric pile vice president Zhang Lei

"We are having a major meeting... The temporary time cannot catch up with the GeekCar event." The CEO of Electric piles sent a WeChat message 2 hours before the event.Mr. Zhang Lei, the vice president of the electric pile, came to the scene to share and interact with everyone. Electric piles are optimistic about the current development of charging piles, but their understanding is to quickly lay out points and connect them into a network, so as to achieve a competitive charging operation network.

According to Xianyue, the electric piles are currently in contact with large investments, and behind it should be a very popular force in the domestic electric vehicle-related fields. I don’t know if the news will bring a big stir to the domestic charging pile market when it is officially announced. We will wait and see.

Taibo Yingsi: What is the charging market like? Talk with research data

Taibo Yingsi Automobile Industry Research Manager Liu Xiong

Taibo Yingsi is a professional consulting agency in new energy. This time I came to GeekCar to share their industry analyst Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong has a very positive attitude towards the future of China's new energy vehicles, and he explained it from several aspects. First, the number and growth rate of electric vehicles in China are currently in China; second, the pressure of national policies on fuel consumption and emissions; third, the subsidy policies for electric vehicles in various places. Combining industrial policies, consumer demand and product supply, the new energy vehicle market will reach more than 1 million vehicles in the next five years. In the accompanying charging field, it is planned to reach 4.5 million charging piles by 2020, and charging anxiety will be greatly alleviated.

The current state of charging difficulties is mainly reflected in "small quantity, messy standards, and low efficiency", so these companies that are engaged in the construction and operation of charging piles should focus on these key points to "increase in quantity, unified standards, and improve efficiency".

What is interesting is that Liu Xiong studied and analyzed his views on electric vehicles and charging from the perspective of consumers: about 82% of users said they were satisfied with the electric vehicles they purchased. The most common place for passenger car users to charge is their own or community parking lots (accounting for 72%), and then it is a public charging station.

users’ research results on choosing slow charging or fast charging surprised most people. Fast charging is our usual main consideration, but most of these electric vehicle users tend to choose slow charging (49% tend to slow charging, 35% tend to fast charging, and 16% are indifferent). Regarding charging costs, most users hope to consume less than 15 yuan per 100 kilometers (the charging service fee is not considered here, it is only energy usage fees).

From the perspective of actual users, quantitative analysis is a good reference for participating companies in charging piles. However, factors such as regional differences and population division in China should be integrated into the survey, and the reference significance may be greater.

Zhonglianda Tongguang: Thoughts on the application field of electric vehicle electrical energy replenishment

Zhonglianda Tongguang Assistant President Gu Jinpeng

Zhonglianda Tongguang was established last year, and they can be understood as "Putian" with small size. Gu Jinpeng, assistant to the president of Zoomlion, shared with you from the current three major sectors of charging and swapping infrastructure (public service field, residential community field, and exclusive service field).

The characteristics of the public service field are public and complete openness, and the corresponding form is the combination of charging stations + charging pile groups. The problem with this sector is that the station-level land utilization rate and station-level service efficiency (pile-car ratio) need to be greatly improved. A more practical solution is to use parking lots, open spaces, etc. in a composite use, and to create charging stations (pile groups) according to modular products, and to integrate charging into other functions to become a comprehensive service station.

The residential community field is characterized by personality and non-openness, and the corresponding form is mainly slow charging piles. The problems in this sector are concentrated on the tight parking resources in private communities and the difficulty of property coordination. In this regard, Gu Jinpeng proposed a solution of "three-dimensional garage + charging module", which on the one hand solved the problem of community parking, and also integrated the charging function.

The characteristics of the exclusive service field are the operating rules and the single service model, mainly including logistics vehicles, buses, and rental vehicles (except taxis). The corresponding form is to build stations and piles according to the operation route.Taxis are another special example in the field of proprietary services. Because their operation characteristics are scattered and uncertain, Gu Jinpeng proposed the need to introduce a "battery swap mode", which is the best application field for battery swap mode. According to Gu Jinpeng, a taxi D50 launched by BAIC in September will be replenished in the form of chassis battery replacement, and the entire battery replacement process will be about 3 minutes.

Although each guest has different sharing angles, everyone agrees that although there are many problems in this field at present, it will definitely be "prosperous" in the future.
