The Development Zone — officially Huang-Bo-Hai New Area — has put e-bike charging on its list of published smart-convenience facility cases, and it also enforces one of the clearer billing regimes in Yantai. Both facts shape how we build here: equipment and siting to the published standard, billing designed to pass scrutiny from day one.
A published benchmark project
District-level public information describes e-bike charging stations deployed in communities such as Fuliu: residents scan a QR code to start, the device recognises the vehicle's charger type and adjusts output accordingly, charging stops automatically when the battery is full to prevent overcharge fires, and enclosures are rated IP55 so they keep working through coastal weather. The cooperation pattern is equally typical — the operator supplies equipment, installation and daily operation, while the community or property provides the site.

Four technical points that decide quality here
- Automatic power recognition — charger power varies widely between vehicles; the device must adapt its output so small batteries are not hammered with large current.
- Full-charge auto-stop — detected by current drop, with our additional 8-hour hard cap as a second line of defence.
- IP55 protection — the zone is coastal; rain, snow and salt spray push failure rates of sub-IP54 outdoor gear up visibly within two years.
- Independent RCD per port — 30 mA trip under 0.1 s, so one fault does not black out the whole station and start resident disputes.
Fee rules: electricity and service fee, separated
Following national NDRC and SAMR office documents, Huang-Bo-Hai New Area has required charging charges to be split into electricity and service fees, itemised separately. Electricity is billed at the residential combined-meter tariff; the service fee is set by the operator, published plainly. Our billing is built for this: residents see both lines before paying, bills export in detail, and the property sees the same split in the back office — so reconciliation is a report, not an argument. The notice also encourages property and owners' committees not to charge site rent or take revenue shares on third-party-operated facilities, passing the saving into lower service fees — a point worth raising in negotiations.
Enterprise parks in the zone
The zone's industrial base brings a second scenario: employees charging in concentrated windows around shifts, high safety accountability sitting with the employer, and integration with site management. We size to the shift peak, separate employee and visitor zones, optionally hook into badge or access-control systems, and provide standalone usage reports so the company can run energy accounting and safety ledgers without extra tooling.
How we deliver in the Development Zone
- Free survey — site walk-through, photos, clamp-meter load recording where capacity is tight, then a written proposal with a fixed price.
- Grid application — we prepare drawings and paperwork and deal with the power supply company, so the property does not chase forms.
- Construction — in-house crews, cable trays and distribution boxes done to specification, typical duration 7–15 days.
- Platform onboarding — every device registered on Dongdian Huichong: scan-to-charge, billing, remote control, revenue dashboards and automatic fault work orders.
- Operation and maintenance — 7×24 monitoring, 4-hour fault response, on-site attendance within 24 hours, local spare parts, quarterly inspection.
Four safety configurations we do not cut
| Configuration | What it does | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Independent RCD per port | 30 mA trip, under 0.1 s | One faulty port does not cut the whole station or other residents' charging |
| Overload cut-off with self-recovery | Breaks on abnormal current, restores automatically | Ageing batteries and poor chargers can pull 500 W+; unmanaged heat is a main fire cause |
| Full-charge auto-stop plus 8-hour cap | Stops on detected full charge, hard stop at 8 h | Prevents overcharge swelling and endless floating |
| Power-off memory | Restores billing state after an outage | Avoids disputes during the stormy season |
Three ways to cooperate
| Model | Cash flow for the property | Revenue share |
|---|---|---|
| We invest and operate | Zero cost; positive from month one | Property receives 30–40% of service-fee revenue |
| Joint investment | One-off contribution; payback typically 3–5 years | Property share up to 50–60% |
| Property buys, we maintain | Largest upfront spend | All revenue to the property; annual O&M fee |
Whichever model you choose, the property gets a platform account and sees every session, hour and yuan of revenue in real time. Settlement is calculated on the platform, so reconciliation is a report, not an argument.
Reference price ranges
| Scope | Reference range (RMB) |
|---|---|
| 10-port e-bike station incl. standard installation (cabling within 30 m, RCD box, signage) | 12,000–22,000 |
| 20-port e-bike station incl. standard installation | 18,000–32,000 |
| 7kW AC charger, device | 1,500–3,500 per unit |
| 7kW AC charger, installation | 1,000–2,500 per unit |
| 60 m² charging shelter with 10 ports, fire kit, lighting and CCTV | 35,000–55,000 |
These are public industry reference ranges, not a Dongshang quotation. Site conditions vary widely across Yantai; the binding figure is the fixed-price quotation issued after a free survey. We quote one price with no hidden additions.
Common questions
- What does the separate-billing rule mean for residents?
- Each session shows two lines: electricity at the residential combined-meter tariff and an operator-set service fee, both itemised before payment and on the bill. It is required in the zone and our platform produces it natively.
- Can a project like the Fuliu community case be replicated in our compound?
- Yes — that model (operator supplies equipment and operation, community provides the site) is our default operator-build model: zero investment for the property, a 20-30% revenue share, IP55-grade coastal equipment and automatic model recognition included.
- Does the property have to pay or charge site rent?
- The zone's published guidance encourages properties and owners' committees not to charge site rent or take revenue shares on third-party-operated charging, using the saving to lower service fees. We design proposals around that guidance.
