Ordering takeout is as convenient as ordering takeout: looking forward to a new solution for charging electric trains

2025-09-09   

According to media reports, in some communities in Beijing, new energy vehicle owners can charge their cars like ordering takeout: they only need to place an order for charging services on their mobile phones, select the charging amount, and when the mobile charging vehicle arrives at their set location, remotely open the charging port to wait for the vehicle to be fully charged and resurrected. At present, this service is still in the early stage of market expansion. Several companies have deployed dozens of mobile charging vehicles in old residential areas, corporate parks, and some high-speed service areas in Beijing, Shanghai, Henan, and other places. According to the relevant person in charge, it takes about an hour to fully charge a car, and the charging standard is based on the price of fixed charging stations in the area. Some even set price discount periods. The emergence of mobile charging vehicles is a response to some current pain points in electric vehicle charging: some public charging stations charge for one hour and queue for four hours, and parking fees are much higher than electricity bills; Some old residential areas are difficult to find, install, and expand the power grid; Some highway sections are still not covered by charging facilities. By meeting the practical needs of car owners such as "charging after leaving the car" and "temporary power replenishment", the mobile charging mode has shifted from the traditional "finding a pile" to "finding a pile", which is indeed time-saving and labor-saving for some car owners. Although China has built the world's largest electric vehicle charging infrastructure network and the construction of charging piles continues to accelerate, with the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, there is still a long way to go for charging and other supporting facilities to go from "sufficient" to "good". According to data, as of the end of 2024, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 31.4 million; As of May 2025, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in China is 14.4 million units, and the current incremental ratio of pile up vehicles is 1:3. Behind these numbers, there is a sense of "mileage anxiety" among users, which also indicates enormous market potential. For a long time, the new energy vehicle industry has been working in both directions: demanding capacity from batteries and efficiency from charging. In the situation where existing models such as household piles, public piles, and battery swapping stations are unable to cover the "last mile", the emergence of new formats and models such as mobile charging demonstrates the sustained vitality and vast growth space of the charging industry. It can be said that the "charging economy" is not only related to people's livelihood experience, but also a key growth point for industrial development. Mobile charging demonstrates a typical field of "innovation leads development", where technology and scenarios are deeply integrated, diverse solutions continue to emerge, and enterprise competition drives continuous service upgrades. For example, the "unmanned driving charging station" that combines charging stations with robots is already exploring how to replace the emerging manual driving charging vehicles. This not only requires complete energy storage device integration technology, but also carries artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology to achieve autonomous obstacle avoidance, precise parking and other functions. The more advanced wireless charging technology is considering using magnetic induction between the wires under the road and the car receiver to enable electric vehicles to charge while running. These sci-fi visions are gradually being brought closer, and how far each innovative application can go depends on the speed of technological iteration and its compatibility with people's livelihood needs. In this process, it is also necessary to recognize that the evolution of charging technology is endogenous to the constraints of urban resources and environment. At present, the entry of charging cars into some communities and commercial districts on a small scale also reflects the cautious attitude of urban managers. Whether charging vehicles can park accurately, occupy lanes or parking spaces, and whether there are safety hazards should be fully evaluated and standardized in the early stage of promotion.
