The Threshold Has Dropped
Good news: Shandong has clearly lowered the bar for resident applications in recent years. The province wrote the waiver of property or neighborhood proof into the rule text, leaving far less room for the buck-passing that once stalled homeowners who simply wanted a legal meter at home.
Policy That Enables It
The 2024 Shandong notice requires new residential fixed spaces to fully build or reserve charging conditions and promotes waiver of property proof. National pricing policy lets directly metered users choose time-of-use rates that guide orderly charging and reward those who plug in during quiet night hours.
How Rizhao Runs It
Owners apply via the Ai Shandong app or power office with parking and vehicle proof. Online joint handling compresses past errands into one application and an on-site survey, while power and property coordinate early at handover to avoid later disputes that used to drag on for months.
For first-time owners, the smoothest installs are the ones planned before moving in, with the parking proof and vehicle documents ready so the meter arrives almost as soon as the furniture does and daily life settles into its new, calmer rhythm without any delay or surprise at all.
