Key points in this article
Duration is a trade off
Longer sessions cost more time and strain the pile; shorter ones may leave range short. The improvement direction is matching length to the actual trip. Guide users to charge enough, not always to full, and spread demand across off peak windows. Small shifts cut both cost and queue.
Verify the effect
After a change, watch average session length and wait time. A good direction lowers both without leaving users anxious about range. Plan the stop you need before plugging in. A chosen target beats a default maximum and keeps the pile available for the next person.
Field view
Dongshang New Energy uses duration data to tune guidance at busy sites, because calmer timing helps everyone more than a faster charger alone. Matching length to the trip keeps the pile free and the battery calmer, and spreading demand eases the queue for everyone. The right target beats a default maximum every time. Charge to the journey, not to the gauge, and the whole site runs a little smoother for it.
