Weihai on-site view shows real responsibility division progress

What a zombie pile is

In Weihai, zombie-pile governance is no longer an isolated case but a sign of the trend. Faulty or offline piles left unrepaired create stations that exist but cannot be used by anyone who actually needs them on a given day.

Make availability count

Many places now fold availability into assessment, driving dynamic clearance and routine inspection. A pile that cannot charge is treated as a liability, not a statistic that merely pads a coverage report filed for show by an operator.

Local value for towns

For counties and townships, charging is not a downgraded copy of the city. Natural stops like markets and clinics fit local habits better than isolated siting that nobody walks past during the normal day.

The practical move is to count working piles, not total piles, when judging coverage. Availability as a metric forces clearing the dead ones, and towns that inspect routinely avoid the embarrassment of a full map with empty, unusable marks scattered across it.
