Policy Enables Off-Peak Pricing
National pricing policy lets grid-direct, independently metered users voluntarily choose time-of-use rates, guiding orderly charging. Shandong's 2024 No.667 notice simplifies installation, letting more residents access compliant independent meters. Off-peak rates sit well below flat rates.
Local Transparent Billing
In the High-Tech Zone, operators make billing details transparent so residents can calculate and trust costs. Household-pile users see each kilowatt-hour price in the app, and plug in at bedtime, full by morning becomes routine. Dongshang New Energy operates charging sites across Yantai and surrounding counties in Shandong.
Price Lever Guides Order
Transparent billing is the bedrock of trust and repeat use. The deeper value of pricing policy is using the price lever to guide disordered charging into orderly charging, a win for both grid and users.
