At the same time as the outbreak of new energy vehicles, its supporting charging services have also received increasing attention. A few days ago, Smart Charging Technology has joined hands with many heavyweight strategic partners to launch a full-dimensional charging station operation solution, and recruited 500 outstanding "urban charging partners" across the country to share the 200 billion charging market. As new energy vehicles gradually take to the stage, the automotive ecological field represented by Smart Charge Technology is about to become the next nugget field for venture capital, and the potential of this market far exceeds the automotive field.
The "three mountains" in front of new energy vehicles
Why do you say that the potential of the ecological field of new energy vehicles is huge? This is mainly related to the current imbalance in the development of the industry.
First of all, with the strong support of the government, new energy vehicles have developed rapidly, and a large number of companies have invested in the car manufacturing industry. As of 2017, the number of new energy vehicles nationwide was approximately 1.729 million, and the number of pure electric passenger vehicles was approximately 801,000. At the same time, the matching charging piles are seriously inadequate. The data shows that the number of charging piles in the country is only 450,000, and the utilization rate is less than 15%, of which the number of public charging piles is only 210,000. This means that most new energy vehicles may face the embarrassing situation of no charging piles available in an emergency.
The lack of supporting facilities seriously hinders the development of this new energy. In other words, if there are enough charging devices, users will dare to buy new energy vehicles. Therefore, the next problem the industry has to solve is bound to pay attention to the laying of charging equipment.
However, this process is not as easy as imagined. Manufacturers of new energy vehicles naturally know the importance of supporting equipment, and many companies have spent a lot of effort laying out charging piles. But they did not make as much money as they thought. The reason behind this is that manufacturers regard this market as an "enclosure movement" and want to occupy parking spaces by renting car spaces or signing contracts. These companies have seen the market prospects and are also trying to build a charging station model of a gas station. But in fact, on the one hand, the cost of this model is extremely high, and fierce competition will also cause the cost of leasing parking spaces to continue to rise. No company can continue to lose money like Tesla. On the other hand, exclusive parking spaces do not have a solid moat. As long as they have capital strength, they can leverage a certain market share.
This has led to the fact that although the market for charging piles is huge, it is still difficult to form companies like Tesla and BYD, and most companies are still struggling to lose money.
Another aspect of corporate losses is that charging piles are generally still in the inefficient stage. At present, there are four to five hundred enterprises that are making electric vehicle charging piles on the market. Their main business is still low-voltage power distribution cabinets, energy-saving devices, etc., and charging devices are still at a relatively early stage. But in fact, electric car charging is not like a gas station, which can be fully intelligent. In addition, the charging time is usually about 30 minutes, and this long period of time can be fully utilized. But many companies fail to do this.
The current situation is that new energy vehicles are in full swing, but the supporting ecological field is still in its infancy. The serious shortage of supporting facilities, the zero-sum game of enterprises, and the very low utilization efficiency have caused this market to be temporarily ignored. However, there is no doubt that the potential of this market can never be ignored. The "Urban Charging Partner" program launched by SmartCharge Technology fully activates it.
Full-dimensional operation solutions
The "Urban Charging Partner" program created by SmartCharge with its partners is dedicated to motivating and fostering charging operators with operational capabilities and resource advantages, and efficiently constructing charging services with strong service capabilities, high levels of intelligence, and nationwide coverage. The internet. According to the introduction, the "Urban Charging Partner" plan covers solutions such as intelligent charging operation, intelligent vehicle diversion, electric vehicle service system output, and station construction financial services. "City Charging Partners" who join this program will not only get one-stop software and hardware services provided by SmartCharge Technology and 24 hours x 365 days of professional operation and maintenance, but will also receive project funding and support from strategic partners of SmartCharge Technology. The platform shares the flow of new energy vehicles, optimizing cash flow while increasing operating income.
Smart Charging Technology’s "Urban Charging Partner" plan mainly solves the pain points in the ecological field of new energy vehicles. First of all, to support charging operators in the form of partners, form intensive operations, and form a unified standard. In this case, the equipment of Smart Charge Technology can be spread all over the country.
On the other hand, Smart Charge Technology can form a powerful help to partners in terms of intelligence and profit. Smart Charging Technology’s charging pile integrates most of the rail switches, electricity meters, etc., a large number of electrical components are replaced by electronic devices, and the multi-core APP is fully intelligent, and the entire charging pile becomes a smart hardware that can sell electricity, The interaction and operability of functions such as the interaction with the car, the diversion platform, and the connected vehicle operation platform are far greater than those of the traditional automobile industry. Intelligentization brings convenience to users and greatly improves potential users; at the same time, intelligence greatly saves operating costs.
With the help of this kind of intelligence, the partners of Zhichong Technology have made a crucial increase in profit. According to reports, the profit margin of a charging pile piloted in Shenzhen has reached more than 87%, which is 4-6 times higher than the average industry. Enough to see its hidden energy.
The advantage of Smart Charging Technology is that it replicates the
role of “Shell and BP” in the petroleum industry into the field of smart
charging piles. Instead of enclosing land or a closed operation model, it has
achieved technological empowerment to help charging operators realize
intelligent operation. And this kind of technology has greatly improved
operating efficiency and saved operating costs, which will greatly promote the
entire industry. In the future, with the deepening of the "Urban Charging
Partner" program, a giant alliance comparable to "Shell and BP" will soon
appear, and this will surely be another feast in the field of venture
capital.
