the growing momentum of new energy vehicles replacing fuel vehicles means that chinese consumers are more inclined to new energy vehicles when purchasing new cars. however, the continued surge in new energy vehicles has also brought about many problems. anxiety about charging and battery life has become a major concern for consumers when traveling. trouble. according to cctv news, the scale of new energy vehicle travel continued to expand during this year’s national day holiday, and the charging volume on highways hit a record high. however, the current charging anxiety for new energy vehicles has eased.

data from the china charging alliance shows that as of the end of june 2024, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure nationwide was 10.243 million units, while the number of new energy vehicles nationwide reached 24.72 million units during the same period, and the ratio has reached 2.4:1. in addition, the vehicle-to-pile ratio of pure electric vehicles in china's incremental market in 2024 has reached 1:1.

however, in the face of such large-scale travel, the supply of charging facilities on highways and scenic spots is still obviously insufficient, and there are queues for charging. according to cctv news, two days before the national day holiday this year, the charging volume on highways reached 15.58 million kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 56%, setting a record high.

new energy vehicles have entered a period of explosive growth, and infrastructure construction has been accelerated in the past two years. however, to truly meet the freedom of travel, it is necessary to continuously accelerate the layout and resolve the difficulties and pain points of the charging network. in other words, the most fundamental solution to the problem of charging and battery life is the rapid layout and improvement of infrastructure.

at the same time, many pure electric car owners have reported that charging piles are occupied by hybrid vehicles more or less in every service area. the charging power of these hybrid vehicles is not high, which leads to a longer charging time. , and they can essentially increase the battery life by refueling, and there is no battery life anxiety, but they often adhere to the attitude of "don't refuel if you can recharge", just because electricity is cheaper than oil. of course, whether it is pure electric, hybrid or extended range, all new energy car owners are equal.

in fact, the charging problem of electric vehicles is very prominent during major and long holidays every year. this is also one of the outstanding contradictions between the current charging infrastructure of new energy vehicles and actual demand. to achieve a reasonable allocation of charging resources, not only policy-level regulation is required, but also rational choices by consumers are required. in the future, with the continuous improvement of charging infrastructure and the gradual standardization of new energy vehicle policies, the charging difficulties of pure electric vehicles will be further alleviated, and the contradiction with hybrid vehicles will also be resolved. of course, the conflict between different models is also a reminder - with the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry, resource problems may present themselves in various forms.
