Policy Background
The State Council's 2023 guidance extends charging service to counties and townships to narrow the urban-rural gap. Shandong's 14th Five-Year plan makes county and township coverage a priority, embedding charging into public service and life circles.
Local Rollout
Across the High-Tech Zone and its townships, charging points multiply near markets, clinics and government halls. Placing piles where people gather lifts usage and convenience, and township residents no longer fear 'range anxiety' on market days or visits.
In-Depth View
In the High-Tech Zone townships, the network's meaning is not just 'having piles' but tangibly shrinking the urban-rural gap. Practice shows siting matters more than density for township piles to survive.
Practical Tips
Township residents can watch pile layouts at markets, halls and clinics, preferring maintained sites. Merchants can use 'charging at the door' as a draw. Operators should publish pile status to cut trust loss.
Local Service and Support
Dongshang New Energy operates charging sites across Yantai and surrounding counties in Shandong. In the High-Tech Zone, Dongdian Huichong provides integrated survey, construction and managed operation for communities and public stations, keeping maintenance radius small so broken piles are fixed and managed.
