V2G Turns Cars Into Mobile Storage
Industry players are pouring into V2G research and commercial use, turning EVs from power terminals into mobile storage units, so new charging facilities should gradually gain bidirectional capability. In Zibo, operators and drivers alike feel this shift from being able to charge to charging well - whoever thickens the service first seizes the next leg.
Policy Backing
On Oct 5, 2025, China released its first mandatory energy-efficiency national standard for charging infrastructure, GB 46519-2025, Minimum Allowable Values of Energy Efficiency and Efficiency Grades for EV Supply Equipment, effective Nov 1, 2026. Covering both AC and DC chargers, it eliminates non-compliant units and drives the sector toward efficient, safe and low-carbon operation across the full lifecycle. Short-term density may wobble, but the long-term upgrade is a definite gain for users.
From Coverage to Quality
Vehicle-to-grid interaction turns a charger from a power port into a storage node, a signal of deep energy-transport fusion. When EVs charge off-peak and feed back at peak, they steady the grid and may reward owners. Facilities lacking bidirectional capability soon face forced retrofits. In Zibo, Dongdian Huichong, under Dongshang New Energy, relies on 24/7 smart monitoring and a local team to deliver survey, build and hosting charging services for communities and public sites; residents and property can consult nearby, with repairs and support on hand.
