With the rapid development of electric vehicles, charging stations supporting electric vehicles are becoming a new industry, and various capitals are competing to enter this field.
Recently, Sinopec announced its entry into the charging station industry with Beijing as the breakthrough. Sinopec's Beijing Petroleum Branch and Beijing Capital Group have jointly established Beijing Sinopec Secco New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., which will mainly use Sinopec's existing large-scale refueling and refueling stations to be converted into fueling and charging comprehensive service stations.
Prior to this, state-owned power grids, China Southern Power Grid, and CNOOC and other energy central enterprises have announced their entry into the field of electric vehicle charging stations in just a few months. Power grid companies with the advantages of power supply, power transmission and distribution, and petrochemical companies with network advantages are becoming two-way forces for charging stations to grab the future huge market for charging stations.
At present, there are many opinions about the market prediction of future charging stations, with 10 billion, 100 billion and even trillions of data. “We can only say that we are optimistic about the future development prospects of charging stations. However, due to the numerous constraints, no one can currently say how much market space there is,†said Lin Boqiang, director of the China Energy Research Center at Xiamen University.
Four Central Government Layout
The newspaper learned that the specific plan for the establishment of a comprehensive refueling and charging service station in Beijing by Sinopec has not yet been announced, including the number of construction sites and the specific location. Since the construction of charging stations requires grid cooperation, the Beijing Electric Power Company has also stated that there is still much to be implemented and coordinated in the construction of charging stations in Beijing.
Sinopec will use Beijing as a breakthrough point for entering the charging station industry. It is reported that after the trial, its fueling and charging comprehensive service station will eventually be extended to the citywide scope, and then extended to Hebei, Tianjin, and even larger areas.
Similar to Sinopec, another oil central company, CNOOC, also established a joint venture with China Putian to establish the Putian Offshore Oil New Energy Power Co., Ltd., which specializes in operating an energy supply network for electric vehicles. The joint venture company has already cooperated with Zotye Auto and plans to start the construction of a pure electric vehicle charging station network in two or more capital cities in China in the first half of this year.
At present, the three major oil companies only PetroChina has not stated its position to enter the field of charging stations. Compared with the relative caution of oil companies, grid companies' plans are even more radical.
At the working meeting of the State Grid Corporation of China at the beginning of this year, Liu Zhenya, the general manager of the State Grid Corporation of China, proposed that the construction of electric vehicle charging stations be promoted in 27 provinces (districts) within the scope of the State Grid. 75 public charging stations and AC charging piles 6209 are proposed. Taiwan and some battery exchange stations.
With a charging station investing 3 million yuan, 75 charging stations will only need to invest 2.25 billion yuan. This is actually a small percentage of the national grid with a total investment of more than 200 billion yuan each year, so the early benefits are not The first one. "The key is to grab the initiative to occupy the best resources." The relevant responsible person of the National Grid expressed to this newspaper.
In fact, as early as 2006, State Grid began to pilot electric vehicle charging stations in Shandong, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Until last August, State Grid Shanghai Corporation invested and built the first domestic electric vehicle charging station with commercial operation functions. Suixi Electric Vehicle Charging Station was successfully completed.
It is understood that at present, the State Grid is accelerating cooperation with various local governments to speed up the construction of charging stations. The Shaanxi Provincial Electric Power Company has announced that it will set up four electric vehicle charging stations in Xi'an City this year in four directions. At the same time, the power department will also set up 200 charging stations in residential areas, supermarkets and parking lots.
In contrast, China Southern Power Grid used the new energy vehicle demonstration and promotion city in Shenzhen to build the first two electric vehicle charging stations in December 2009. The total number of charging stations is 134, and the charging capacity amounts to 2480 kVA, which is currently domestic The largest electric vehicle charging station. In addition, the electric vehicle charging station located at the south exit of the transfer center of the Futian Transportation Comprehensive Hub is also in full swing. According to the plan, Shenzhen will build 12,750 various types of new energy vehicle charging stations (pile).
Who is dominant
All energy central SOEs are actively “enclosureâ€, and it is the future of the electric vehicle market that is expected to bring about the charging station market. Lin Boqiang said: "The future of electric vehicles is certainly the best alternative to traditional fuel vehicles. The country's successive support policies will also quickly drive this market."
The Automobile Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan, released in March 2009, has clearly stated that the electric vehicles in new energy vehicles will have the immediate goal of forming 500,000 capacity by 2011.
At present, the imperfection of charging facilities is a major factor that restricts the development of the electric vehicle market. Therefore, the industry urges the government to support the development of the electric vehicle industry (subsidies and other preferential policies). First, it is necessary to consider the development of charging base stations. This is to protect electric vehicles. An important part of industrial development. If the government can attach importance to and put in the earliest efforts, and through policy support to improve the company's motivation, it will be possible to have a place in the rapidly emerging field of electric vehicle technology.
An insider of the State Grid stated to this newspaper that the State Grid is optimistic about the future role of electric vehicles in the replacement of traditional automobiles. Therefore, building a large number of charging stations in the future will not rule out being the largest transportation energy supplier in China, and it will have a position equivalent to the current oil giant.
At the same time, the State Grid intends to use electric vehicles (including charging stations) as an important part of the future smart grid, hoping to use a large number of electric vehicles to achieve peak-to-peak frequency regulation.
The petrochemical companies believe that their advantages lie in the network layout of their own gas stations. Therefore, Chen Qingquan, an expert in the field of domestic electric vehicles, once suggested that: “The grid companies can install electric vehicle charging stations at gas stations in the future, and some foreign cities have already As a precedent, the grid can also use a large number of car batteries to achieve effective peaking."
However, according to the above sources from the State Grid, the two major systems currently have no intention of cooperation on the construction of charging stations. Lin Boqiang believes that the possibility of cooperation between the two parties is very small, because there are currently very few gas stations that can be converted into charging stations.
It takes only a few minutes to refuel with a conventional car. The charging of an electric car usually takes several hours or more. The gas station that configures the charging station needs a much larger area than the conventional fuel station, or else it will lead to congestion at the gas station. Therefore, Lin Boqiang is not optimistic about Sinopec's plans to renovate its existing gas station to construct a fueling and charging comprehensive service station.
Jia Xinguang, a senior automotive expert, believes that electrified vehicle charging stations can be selected in existing parking lots. Otherwise, building more charging stations is not enough.
This is why the grid companies are more optimistic about the industry, but Lin Boqiang also stressed the uncertainty of the charging station industry, that the company can not blindly enter before the national standards have not been introduced.
The industry also hopes that at the beginning of the domestic electric vehicle charging station industry, the relevant functional departments should intervene early to guide, formulate standards, plan well, and encourage orderly competition among various investment entities including private capital.
It is understood that national standards for electric vehicle charging stations are expected to be introduced this year. The standard is led by Tianjin Qingyuan Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. The two major power grid companies and BYD, Chery and other automobile companies are involved.
