Policy behind the shift

The State Council's 2023-19 guidance targets a widespread, well-structured high-quality charging network by 2030, stressing smart and orderly charging to avoidimpact on the grid. Independent metering shows users the price of every unit, and valley charging pays off. The National Development and Reform Commission's pricing policy lets directly metered households voluntarily choose peak-valley rates, guiding orderly charging and lowering cost while flattening load.

How Qingdao delivers

In Qingdao, some communities trial off-peak discounts that guide residents to charge at low night prices. The city pushes charging-time advice to apps so a tap saves money. Operators use smart dispatch so a single pile rotates among several vehicles, making resources more intensive.

A shared win

From Qingdao's pilot, residents cooperate readily once rules are transparent and savings visible. Orderly charging weaves scattered demand into a controllable web, a real win for both grid and users.
