Policy as New Infrastructure
The State Council's 2023 No.19 guidance calls for a high-quality charging system by 2030, emphasizing intelligent, orderly and accessible service. It reframes charging from a supporting facility into new infrastructure embedded in community life.
Local Network Coordination
Laiyang is folding charging convenience into urban renewal and complete-community building. Construction is shifting from single-point placement to network coordination, with public, residential and township piles complementing one another.
Quality Not Just Quantity
The biggest local risk is heavy construction, light operation. Quality means stability, safety and accessibility, not pile counts. Operators should make maintenance and experience solid, while residents factor charging convenience into home choices.
