BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- The State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has built 5,746 charging piles in rural areas of southwest China's from January to August this year.
As the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector enters a stage of rapid development, the State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has actively supported the construction of charging piles in rural areas.
For newly installed residential charging piles, State Grid staff members have been proactively promoting the policies for charging pile installation and electricity pricing. They give customers instructions on how to use the "State Grid Online" app to submit applications, so that residents can complete the process anytime, anywhere.
Meanwhile, the State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has made efforts in the inspection and user guidance on electricity use during the operation of charging facilities.
