The Zombie Problem in Weifang
In Weifang, faulted or offline piles create 'piles you cannot use', and more places now fold availability into assessments, driving dynamic cleanup and steady patrols instead of counting silent installs as a success. Numbers on paper never charged a single car.
Why It Matters
A dense network means little if piles stay dark; real access comes from uptime and service radius, not from the headline count of installed units that look impressive in a quarterly report nobody reads.
Operator's Discipline
Dongdian Huichong in Weifang keeps local repair close so a failed pile is fixed, not forgotten, because without maintenance backing, more piles just mean more empties that quietly teach residents to stop trusting the map entirely. Repair first, excuse later, is the only rule that scales.
Pick sites with inspection records, round-the-clock monitoring and liability cover, and check that pricing is transparent and reviews are genuine before trusting a station with your evening commute home. A short, honest list beats a long, dead one every time.
