A Livelihood, Not a Luxury
Under the complete-community pilot, reliable charging is treated as basic public service. Linyi uses the same renovation window to add capacity and managed points, bringing older districts up to a safe, modern standard.
Equity Across Neighborhoods
The pilot targets places long underserved, closing the gap between new compounds and aging blocks. Residents in older areas gain monitored, insured charging instead of risky makeshift solutions strung together at home.
Usable Is the Real Bar
Linyi's stance is that renovation must be functional, not just presentable. Only when charging order is straightened alongside appearance does the upgrade actually count as done for the people living there.
Treating charging as livelihood means judging success by whether a grandmother can charge safely downstairs, not by a plaque on the wall. That resident-first measure is what makes the pilot worth repeating elsewhere. Judging success by whether a grandmother can charge safely downstairs, not by a plaque on the wall, is what makes the pilot worth repeating far beyond Linyi.
