The rapid growth of new energy vehicles (NEVs) has driven an explosive demand for charging infrastructure. However, users still face numerous challenges during the charging process, such as occupied charging parking spaces, congestion at fast-charging stations, equipment failures, and cumbersome operations. Addressing these pain points and improving charging service quality has become a focal point for the industry. This article explores common charging challenges and potential solutions.

Fulltech Casting provides high-quality core components for charging equipment to help overcome charging difficulties and advance the NEV industry.

1. Analysis of Common Charging Challenges

1.1 Occupied Charging Parking Spaces

• Problem: Many public charging spaces are long-term occupied by gasoline vehicles or other non-charging vehicles, hindering EV owners’ access.
• Cause: Lack of effective management measures and inadequate markings on some parking spaces.

1.2 Congestion at Fast-Charging Stations

• Problem: During holidays, charging demand surges at highway service areas, exceeding the capacity of available facilities.
• Cause: Insufficient charging stations and limited deployment of high-power fast-charging equipment.

1.3 Frequent Equipment Failures

• Problem: Some charging stations experience high usage but lack proper maintenance, leading to issues like power cuts or damaged interfaces.
• Cause: Incomplete maintenance mechanisms and inconsistent equipment quality.

1.4 Cumbersome Operation Processes

• Problem: Diverse charging apps with complex functionalities require users to repeatedly register and process payments.
• Cause: Absence of a unified platform and insufficient user experience design.

2. Solutions to Charging Challenges
