A local co-governance model
Community co-governance reshapes operation: charging touches site, power, order and fees, and laying rules out early with resident input cuts later disputes. Dongdian Huichong in Weifang treats this as a chance to deepen operation by making the community a partner rather than a bystander.
Where stalls actually go
Operators place stalls at markets, clinics, government halls and shops so usage and convenience rise together, making on-the-way charging a daily habit rather than a dedicated errand that competes with work and family time.
Inclusion matters
For elders unfamiliar with smartphones, keep card and coin payment with large-print signs and on-site guidance so technology reaches people instead of shutting them out. For old-district owners, denser public stalls and transparent valley pricing let residents fold charging into shopping and commuting routines.
A model that leaves the least connected behind is not co-governance at all; Weifang's answer is to keep the analogue door open while the digital one improves, reaching every resident it claims to serve.
