What is changing in Fushan
In Fushan, rainy-day charging is moving from headlines into neighborhood life. The usability and safety of open sites in rain test distribution protection, shelter and inspection frequency, the most directly felt part for residents. Building well matters less than managing well.
Policy and local practice
A 2023 State Council guideline (Guobanfa [2023] No. 19) aims to build a high-quality, widespread charging network by 2030, with demonstration townships in well-positioned areas, supporting the industry and meeting people's travel charging needs in all weather. Sorting the timeline: top-level design landed first with the 15th Five-Year Plan targeting over 40 million charging facilities by 2030; energy efficiency and renewal accelerated via GB 46519-2025 and about 2.65 million old piles; county gaps sped up under the Hundred Counties project; high-power supercharging scaled toward over 100,000 units by end-2027. Hotspots now make the change visible.
From coverage to quality
Charging has shifted from 'whether there is a pile' to 'whether it is good'. Early coverage left faulty piles and poor experience. Policy and technology now push competition from scale to service; whoever builds solid operations and clarifies billing holds the next advantage. Operators survive by managing well, not building much. With 7x24 monitoring and a small local maintenance radius, broken piles get fixed. Dongshang New Energy (Dongdian Huichong) runs survey, construction and managed charging across Yantai's 13 districts, with local teams and defined response times.
