Accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles to the countryside

Recently, the Development and Reform Commission of Hebei Province issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Rural Charging Infrastructure and Promoting the Rural Revitalization of New Energy Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). The opinions put forward 13 policy measures from three aspects: accelerating the construction of rural charging infrastructure, accelerating the popularization and application of rural new energy vehicles, and strengthening the management of rural new energy vehicles. It is clear that by 2025, the province will build 1 10,000 key charging demonstration villages, basically achieving the goal of "demonstration counties in the city, demonstration townships (towns) in counties and demonstration villages (communities) in townships". By 2030, a charging service network covering rural areas in the whole province will be basically built to meet the demand for new energy vehicles. By 2025, the province's national and provincial trunk service areas will achieve the goal of charging infrastructure 100%. By 2030, the two-part centralized charging and replacing facilities will be exempted from demand (capacity) electricity prices, and the investment efficiency constraints related to power grid enterprises and distribution network construction will be relaxed, all of which will be included in the recovery of transmission and distribution prices.

In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Charging Infrastructure to Better Support New Energy Vehicles to Rural Areas and Rural Revitalization" (No.545 [2023] of the Development and Reform Commission), efforts should be made to solve the problems such as insufficient construction of public charging infrastructure, difficult installation of charging facilities in rural areas, and prominent contradiction between supply and demand, optimize the purchase and use environment of new energy vehicles, release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles in rural areas, and promote new energy.

First, speed up the layout of rural charging infrastructure.

(1) Overall planning and layout of rural public charging infrastructure. Support the municipal, county (district, city) people's governments to unify the planning and layout of county and village public charging networks in light of the actual situation, and effectively link them with the land and space planning and distribution network planning, so as to accelerate the realization of "full coverage of villages and towns" for new energy vehicle charging stations and "full coverage of villages and villages" for charging piles. Adhere to the principle of "government guidance, enterprise participation, overall layout and market promotion", reasonably promote the construction of centralized public charging stations, and give priority to the allocation of public charging facilities in county and township enterprises and institutions, commercial buildings, transportation hubs (stations), expressways, service areas (stations) along national and provincial highways and places near entrances and exits, and relocate centralized resettlement areas, rural logistics bases and rural tourism. Combined with the development of rural go on road trip, accelerate the planning and layout of charging piles and conditional gas stations along the expressway. By 2025, the province will build 1 10,000 key charging demonstration villages, basically achieving the goal of "each city has a demonstration county, each county has a demonstration township (town), and each township has a demonstration village (community)". By 2030, a charging service network covering rural areas in the whole province will be basically built to meet the demand for new energy vehicles.

(2) Accelerate the construction of rural charging infrastructure. Accelerate the construction of charging facilities in existing rural residential areas, and carry out the transformation of charging facilities construction conditions according to local conditions. Residential areas with installation conditions can be equipped with a certain proportion of public charging parking spaces.
