A few days ago, the Suzhou Municipal People's Government Office issued the "Suzhou "14th Five-Year Plan" Electric Vehicle Public Charging and Swapping Facilities Planning" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning").

The "Planning" clearly states that by 2025, the goal is to build a charging and swapping service network with a "reasonable layout, close to users, convenient and efficient, and intelligent interconnection", which will become an important part of urban infrastructure and meet the charging requirements of about 380,000 electric vehicles. Demand for battery replacement; benchmarking against the development level of first-tier cities such as Shanghai, to promote the city's vehicle-to-pile ratio to about 2:1, and the service capability of charging and replacing infrastructure to reach the leading level at home and abroad.

The "Planning" predicts that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, with the acceleration of green and low-carbon transportation, the development of electric vehicles in Suzhou will usher in even greater development space.

The layout plan shows that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is planned to expand 144 public charging stations, build 1149 public charging stations, and add 29,743 public charging piles. By 2025, there will be 1,843 public charging stations and 35,656 public charging piles in the city. The average service radius of public charging stations in the city is within 1.2 kilometers, of which the average service radius of public charging stations in the core city is within 1 km, and the average service radius of public charging stations in other areas. Within a radius of 1.5 kilometers.
