With the global energy structure transformation and the promotion of the "dual carbon" goal, China's new energy vehicle industry has experienced explosive growth. According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of 2024, the total number of new energy vehicles in China reached 31.4 million, accounting for 8.9% of the total number of vehicles, ranking first in the world for several consecutive years. As the core support for the development of new energy vehicles, the construction of charging infrastructure has become a national strategic priority.

As a new type of infrastructure, the construction and development of charging infrastructure is of great significance for promoting the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, and is conducive to promoting the transformation and upgrading of urban energy structure, and promoting green and low-carbon development.

The charging industry has broad prospects and fierce competition. For enterprises or capital that want to enter the field of charging pile construction and operation, how should they choose suitable charging pile products that are conducive to long-term operation? Today, the editor is here to talk to you about what I think should be considered mainly from the following aspects:

1. We need to consider the size and strength of the company, which is the most fundamental guarantee. You can check company related information such as business license, registered capital, etc. on platforms such as Tianyancha and Qichacha. For listed companies, you can pay attention to their publicly available financial reports and read important information from them.

2. It is necessary to extensively search for relevant information about intended products or companies from various platforms, such as whether the company has its own production line and relevant qualifications, such as quality management system certification.

3. For the product itself, we not only need to pay attention to official and authoritative testing reports, but also to the relevant performance and parameters of the product. A point that many people tend to overlook is that the operational level of charging stations largely determines their life and death. Building a charging station does not mean everything will be fine once it is completed, the subsequent operation is the key. It is crucial for charging stations to have a high level of intelligence, strong operational capabilities, and space.

4. We also need to pay attention to the company's operations and after-sales service capabilities. Charging stations require daily maintenance to maintain good condition. If there is a malfunction, it needs to be dealt with in a timely manner. Otherwise, it not only causes poor charging service experience, but also easily leads to customer loss and affects station revenue.
