What 'build-operate' means
Estate stall woes are being solved by 'unified build-operate'. The six-ministry 2025–2027 Charging Service Capacity 'Triple' Action Plan (NDRC energy 1250, Sep 2025) requires new estates' fixed spots to be 100% built or reserved for direct metering, older estates to add stalls via renovation, and promotes an operator 'unified planning, construction, O&M' model—1,000 pilot estates by end-2027 for 'someone builds, someone runs, sustainable'.
Local pilots already moving
Locals moved first. Fujian's existing-estate charging plan (trial from 1 Jan 2026, 2 years) splits by 'enough capacity / short capacity / rich public spots' and pushes 'multi-car-one-stall' time-sharing; Guangdong targets 100+ pilot estates by end-2026. From 'each builds a private stall' to 'unified build-run' eases capacity and disputes and puts safety on professional operators.
Yantai's same road
For Yantai communities, unified build-operate is the same road as shelter building. Dongdian Huichong's compliant shelters, central charging and ordered charging follow 'unified plan, unified O&M, auto cut-off, full monitoring' as standard; rather than wrestle private-stall capacity and property coordination, residents can back estate unified build-operate for worry-free, safe doorstep charging.
