We heard electric vehicles a lot recently, so what charging station is like? Our journalist visited the first domestic electric vehicle charging station, Shanghai Caoxi electric vehicle charging station.
Located in Xuhui District, the electric vehicle station is about 400 square meters, there are nine charging stations, including four including four roadside charging stations. Compared with conventional gas station, the charging station is smaller and flexible in layout.
And the biggest difference with gas station is that the charging station is self-service. After connecting electric cable and inserting intelligent card, cab owner can choose any charging volume by “Auto Charge”, “By Time” and “By Volume”. In addition, cab owner can reserve charging time.
Currently, Caoxi Electric Charging Station is just for electric buses, electricity engineering vehicles etc electric vehicles, and there are still some time to be available by social vehicles.
