Electric car charging station turns into parking lot

At 10:00 a.m. on February 26th, the reporter found 500 meters east of the train station. Ten electric vehicle charging stations marked with the words “State Grid” were already covered with dust, and the parking spaces used to recharge became parking lots.

As early as 2010, the Taiyuan Municipal Government and the Provincial Electric Power Company jointly signed the “Strategic Cooperation Agreement for Advancing the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities” and began to plan the construction of electric car charging related facilities in the provincial capital. Why do tens of millions of investments become furnishings today? Subsequently, the reporter called the provincial city of 4S shop to learn that, including Chery, Geely, Great Wall, Volkswagen, Toyota and many other domestic and foreign auto manufacturers do not sell pure electric vehicles in Taiyuan. "The kind of car to be ordered directly from the factory, and our 4S shop does not have the relevant maintenance and repair facilities, so very few people buy." A customer service manager told reporters.

In the past two years, all kinds of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles sprouted like springing up. Although such vehicles have many advantages such as environmental protection and energy saving, due to the relatively immature technology and lack of relevant maintenance measures, such vehicles have not been popularized. "I used to buy an electric car before," said one citizen in an interview. "But it is very uncomfortable, it is accelerating slowly. The maximum speed is only about 100 kilometers per hour, and it can only run for more than 100 kilometers when it is fully charged. High speed, very inconvenient."
