Research on the Development Status, Strategic Choice and Business Model of China’s Charging Pile Industry

Abstract

The interaction between electric vehicles and power grids can achieve the functions of cutting peaks and valleys of load, participate in frequency modulation, and provide reserve service. It is of great significance for the safe and economic operation of power grids and the ability to improve the capacity of new energy power generation. However, due to the lag of the development of China’s charging pile industry, which constrained the development of electric vehicles. This paper analyzes the key issues of market mechanism and infrastructure of charging piles. First, this paper summarizes the development status of China’s charging pile and proposes the research route for the development of charging pile bottlenecks; secondly we analyze China’s policies on different stages and construct implementation path of charging pile. By comparing the basic indicators, related policies and related innovation activities of the charging pile for China, we conclude that the development of the national electric vehicle industry needs to be increased in terms of government policies, business model innovation and public awareness.
