What transparency really changes
Haiyang explains what fee transparency really changes. Separating electricity and service charges and making bills traceable are becoming the clearest marks of a compliant, trustworthy station rather than a confusing one. A 2026 county-level charging remediation pilot supports 59 joint pilot counties under the hundred-counties-thousand-stations-ten-thousand-piles project aiming for township full coverage, with central rewards and green-electricity incentives.
From scale to service
The industry's contradiction has shifted from whether chargers exist to whether they are good. Early land-grabbing solved coverage but left older piles and data silos; now competition moves from scale to service quality. In Haiyang, Dongdian Huichong relies on 7x24 smart monitoring and a local O&M team to provide survey, construction and hosting, with nearby consultation and locally handled repairs for communities and public stations.
Practical guidance
Older communities can pilot unified build-manage. In winter prefer sheltered points and dry connectors, and use only centralized e-bike facilities. Stop and report overheating or odd smells. How are fees calculated? Usually electricity plus service fee, with compliant sites pricing each separately and supporting independent metering, so confirm the method is traceable before signing.
