Policy Background
Since 2024 the national campaign has pushed concentrated charging with liability insurance as a community standard. Shandong's Order No.348 bans indoor and lobby charging; compliant charging is the baseline, insurance the second buffer.
Local Rollout in Penglai
In Penglai, operators fold insurance into the service package, giving after-sales confidence. New points commonly carry pile liability insurance, and policy info is posted at the site for residents to see.
In-Depth Observation
In Penglai, sites with liability insurance show clearly lower complaint rates. Insurance is not 'extra charge' but a backstop for low-probability, high-loss tails that lets operators and residents both rest easy.
Practical Suggestions
Communities can add insurance notes to safety guides. Residents can ask whether a site includes liability insurance. Property should weigh insurance and upkeep together when procuring, not price alone.
Local Service and Safeguards
In Penglai District, Dongdian Huichong, the charging brand of Dongshang New Energy, pairs 7x24 smart monitoring with a local maintenance team to deliver survey, construction and managed services for compounds, communities and public stations. Dongshang New Energy operates charging sites across Yantai and surrounding counties in Shandong.
