More piles is not the answer
Liaocheng argues public charging is not about maximum quantity but about genuine usefulness to the people who live there. The real measure is whether piles are sited correctly for the rhythm of daily life in each neighborhood and on every street corner where residents actually walk.
Density meets convenience
Planners balance how closely piles sit to residents against how easy they are to access, avoiding waste while closing genuine gaps in local coverage across the city. A pile that nobody can reach is no better than no pile, so placement beats raw numbers every single time in practice.
A network that works
The result is a public network judged by use and reach, not just by the number of units installed on a map that few residents ever actually consult or really trust. A working network earns its place by being there when needed, not by looking impressive in a planning presentation to officials.
