National Grid Sells EV Charging Card

During the Spring Festival, Mr. Zhu Xinglong returned to his hometown of Suqian for the Chinese New Year. After route planning and mileage calculation, he made an appointment for car charging by phone 45 minutes before arriving at the service area in Gaoyou, Yangzhou. "It's been charging for more than half an hour. It just happened that I took a break after driving for a long time. After eating and drinking some water, I came to take a look." Zhu Xinglong didn't feel that the waiting time was too long. It has always been his dream.

"I didn't dare to run far before, because the expressway is a long time, and it is very inconvenient to run out of electricity on the way. Now it is different. State Grid Corporation has built a lot of charging stations on the expressway in the Jiangsu section, and it is still DC fast. Charging. On average, there is always a station that can be charged every 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers, which gave me a reassurance." Zhu Xinglong said.

It is understood that in 2015, the State Grid Corporation of China invested heavily in the field of electric vehicle charging network and made a rational layout. Now my country's Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, Qingyin, Shanghai-Chengdu and Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou ring lines "two vertical, two horizontal and one ring" highway electric The car charging network has been completed and put into operation, and at present, there are as many as 59 fast charging stations on the expressway in Jiangsu Province, and the charging card sales network including 64 power supply business outlets in the province was also launched in February 2016. Officially put into operation on the 4th.

As soon as Zhu Xinglong, who pays close attention to the electric vehicle industry, heard the news, he rushed to the downtown business hall of the Changzhou Power Supply Company on the second working day of the new year to purchase a charging card for use at the charging station on the expressway. "It's more convenient to have a card. You don't need to make an appointment by phone. It's very convenient to do it yourself and swipe the card to settle." Zhu Xinglong said that as for how to know the location of the charging station and whether it is free or not, he has experienced it himself and has a deep understanding. "Download the 'e-charging' APP on your mobile phone, and there is information on all high-speed charging stations. You can also see the location and quantity of other AC charging stations in Changzhou!"

With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, green travel seems to be near.

春节期间，朱兴龙先生回老家宿迁过年，经过路线规划、里程计算，他在到达扬州高邮境内的服务区前45分钟，通过电话进行了汽车充电的预约。“充了半个多小时吧，正好我驾驶时间长了休息一下，吃完饭喝点水过来一看，正好。”朱兴龙并不觉得等的时间过长，除了给自己休息以外，绿色远行也一直是他的梦想。

“之前不敢跑远，因为高速路一开就是很长时间，途中没了电就很不方便。现在不一样了，国家电网公司在江苏段的高速公路上建了好多充电站，还是直流快充。平均每50公里到100公里之间总有站能充电，给我吃了颗定心丸。”朱兴龙介绍说。

　　据了解，2015年，国家电网公司在电动汽车充电网络领域大力投资，合理布局，现在我国京沪、京港澳、青银、沪蓉和京沪杭环线“两纵两横一环”高速公路电动汽车充电网络已建成投运，而目前江苏段高速公路更是有多达59座快充电站投入使用，而与之配套包含全省64个供电营业网点的充电卡销售网络也于2016年2月4日正式投运。

　　密切关注电动汽车行业的朱兴龙一得知消息，便于新年第二个工作日赶到了常州供电公司市区营业厅，购买高速路上充电站使用的充电卡。“有卡就更方便啦，不用再电话预约，自己动手，刷卡结算，非常方便。”朱兴龙说，至于如何了解充电站位置、空闲与否等信息，他更是早亲身经历，深有体会，“手机下载‘e充电’APP，上面有所有高速充电站的信息，常州市内其他交流充电桩的地理位置、数量等信息也能看到呢！”

　　新能源汽车产业快速发展的当口，绿色远行似乎再也不是困难重重的梦想
