The divergence, explained
A 'divergence' is worth noting. Analysys reports that by Mar-2026 Didi Charging leads charge-volume share at 34.22% while holding only 6.63% of public stalls; its stalls serve 7.7 cars per day, 2.6x the big-stall incumbents. It shows operator competitiveness is shifting from 'who has more stalls' to 'who uses them better'.
Supply catches up
Broader, supply-demand is improving. In Jan–May 2026, 3.97M NEVs were sold against 2.405M new charging points—a stall-to-car increment ratio of 1:1.7. As networks spread, the real contest returns to operations: siting, dispatch, O&M and user reach decide each stall's output.
Efficiency at the community
For community charging, 'efficiency' lands plainly. Dongdian Huichong unifies Yantai's scattered estate stalls under one build-manage-dispatch with platform monitoring and off-peak guidance, so limited stalls serve more residents with less idle and queuing—turning the industry's efficiency theme into everyday usability at the doorstep.
