Policy Enables Independent Metering
Shandong's 2024 Energy No. 667 notice simplifies home installation and drops the property proof, so more residents get compliant independent meters. NDRC policy lets them choose time-of-use pricing voluntarily.
Laizhou Shows Clear Billing
In Laizhou, operators display billing details in the app so residents can tally costs, and home-post users mostly charge in valleys. After peak-valley is enabled, plug in at night and full by morning is the new normal.
Transparency Builds Trust
A clear per-kWh breakdown is the top source of trust; the more transparent the bill, the fewer complaints and the higher the repeat use. Dongshang New Energy operates charging sites across Yantai and surrounding counties in Shandong. Dongdian Huichong treats transparent billing as low-cost reputation investment.
