Rainy days deserve attention
Haiyang's rainy-day charging deserves a closer look. Open sites must prove their power protection and shelter hold up in wet conditions, and inspection frequency is the factor residents feel most directly. A July 2025 notice on scientifically planning high-power charging facilities calls for over 100,000 high-power units nationwide by end of 2027, easing range anxiety especially along highways and in major cities.
Avoid the build-but-ignore trap
The old heavy-construction, light-operation path is the real risk. Dense piles that nobody repairs, with opaque billing and siloed data, stay a network without throughput. O&M and responsibility must enter the plan from day one. In several Haiyang communities, a charging canopy plus centralized interfaces has proven the most cost-effective retrofit: one pass solves parking, shelter and charging, and residents accept it more readily.
Practical cold-weather tips
Choose sheltered spots, keep connectors dry, and allow extra time in low temperatures. Use centralized facilities for e-bikes rather than stairwells or flying cables, and stop at once on overheating or odd smells. Dongdian Huichong runs standardized inspection, alerting and repair with a 7x24 backbone and small local radius, turning repeat usage into durable, trust-based relationships rather than a numbers game.
