Charging of New Energy Vehicles

Charging infrastructure is an important guarantee for the green travel of electric vehicle users and an important support for promoting the development of the NEV industry, promoting the construction of new power systems, and helping to achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. On January 10, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, and other departments jointly issued the Implementation Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments on Further Improving the Service Guarantee Capacity of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (FGNYG [2022] No. 53) (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Opinions”), which make clears target plans and guidance for guiding the construction of a moderately advanced, balanced, intelligent and efficient charging infrastructure system during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. This chapter analyzes the charging characteristics of vehicles in different application scenarios, charging behavior in different charging scenarios, and operation characteristics of battery swapping modes, and summarizes the charging laws of electric vehicle users, providing certain research references for further improving the layout and planning of China’s charging infrastructures.
