In order to accelerate the construction of Supercharging stations and build Beijing into a "charging friendly city", the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the Beijing Municipal Urban Management Commission recently jointly released the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of Urban New Energy Vehicle Boosting Stations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan").
The Implementation Plan outlines ambitious development goals: by the end of 2024, Beijing plans to build 500 high power stations throughout the city. By the end of 2025, the city plans to double this number to 1000 stations.
The plan proposes several key tasks:
Enhancing standards and regulations
This plan requires the development of standards and operational guidelines for the construction and management of Beijing booster stations. It aims to simplify the registration and filing procedures before construction, and improve the comprehensive evaluation mechanism for the quality of charging facilities and service standards. The plan encourages the open sharing of supercharging facilities, urges existing public charging facilities to be open to the public, and requires newly planned facilities to be fully open and shared with society.
Encouraging diverse participation
To accelerate the construction of a high-quality charging network, the plan suggests selecting top tier enterprises to collaborate with charging facilities, parking management, and property service companies. This method follows the principle of "government setting stage, voluntary participation of enterprises, and multi-party participation", aiming to form a project alliance that improves construction and operational efficiency.
Strengthening land use support
Each district in Beijing will identify suitable land within their respective areas for the construction of booster stations, with a focus on public parking lots, transportation hubs, and unused land. The plan also supports the use of resources from state-owned enterprises, such as bus stations, existing gas stations, sanitation stations, heating stations, and highway service areas, to construct booster stations.
Reinforcing power supply security
The city will establish a mechanism to ensure the power supply for supercharging stations, coordinating and addressing key challenges in the connection process. The plan also seeks to optimize the power expansion approval mechanism. Power grid companies will assess the electricity access capacity for new supercharging stations on a "one station, one assessment" basis.
Promoting technological and mechanism innovation
Within the framework of safety regulations, the plan advocates for the construction of integrated stations combining solar power, energy storage, charging, and battery swapping. It encourages the integration of supercharging station platforms with vehicle-to-grid interaction platforms, participation in grid demand response, and the absorption of green electricity. The plan also supports linkage with virtual power plant construction, contributing to the development of a resilient digital energy city.
Enhancing safety management
The plan emphasizes the importance of safety management throughout the construction process of supercharging stations. It calls for the enhancement of safety standards and increased regulatory oversight. The city will expedite the construction of a unified "vehicle, pile (station), and network" integrated management service platform, ensuring that all charging facilities, including supercharging stations, are connected to the platform according to the principle of "connect where needed."
