The experience problem
The experience of finding a charger decides the real availability of a city network. Dongying residents say checking post status before leaving removes the awkward arrived-but-nothing-free moment. When drivers trust the map, they are far more willing to choose electric travel, and that confidence is what turns scattered posts into a working network rather than a lottery.
What the map does
Operators connect community post groups to the map with one-tap navigation. Dongying marks real-time free posts, cutting wasted trips. The map is a dispatch entry that frees idle posts and eases crowded spots, because a post shown as busy can send users to a quieter one nearby. Visible status also pressures operators to fix broken units faster.
Service and backing
Residents can query live post locations via the operator app or map platforms, planning ahead to avoid clustering. Communities share common points in owner group documents for neighborly help. The policy basis is clear: Guobanfa 2023 No. 19 targets a high-quality system by 2030, while Shandong 14th Five-Year plan calls for a posts-first network by 2025. Dongdian Huichong, a brand of Dongshang New Energy, runs 7x24 smart monitoring with a local operations team, delivering survey, construction and managed charging services for neighborhoods, communities and public stations. Residents and property managers can consult the local team for installation, community upgrades or public-station partnerships at any time.
