The charging pile operation mode mainly includes eight types: government-led mode, carrier-led mode, car-enterprise-led mode, car-pile cooperation mode, crowd-funding mode, EV time-sharing rental mode, bus company charging pile EPC mode, and real estate company charging pile EPC mode.

Government-led model

That is, the government, as the main investor, is responsible for the construction and operation of charging piles. This model is conducive to orderly and intensive development, but it will increase the financial pressure of the government and is not conducive to the scale of the industry.

Carrier-led model

That is, the operator is independently responsible for the investment and operation of charging piles. This mode has higher management efficiency, but it has higher requirements for the capital strength of the enterprise and the background of the enterprise, and the profitability is greatly affected by the policy.

Car enterprise leading mode

That is, large automakers take the initiative to layout and build and operate charging infrastructure. This model is conducive to the promotion of their own products, to solve the problem of mileage anxiety of consumers, but the amount of capital requirements for car manufacturers is higher.

Truck and pile cooperation mode

That is, electric vehicle manufacturers cooperate with charging pile operators. This model promotes the sales of electric vehicles, but requires high coordination between the two.

Crowdfunding model

That is, the operation platform integrates the forces of enterprises, society, government and other aspects, and uses the crowdfunding mode of Internet thinking to promote the construction of charging piles. This mode improves the utilization rate of social resources, improves the work efficiency of all aspects, and pays more attention to the needs of users in the service, but there are more subjects involved and the decision-making efficiency is low.

Electric car time-sharing rental model

That is, electric car time-sharing is paid on demand, rental at any time and return anywhere. This model improves the efficiency of electric vehicles, but increases the cost of management.

Bus company charging pile EPC mode

That is, the government will open the construction project of the bus charging pile to tender, and the winning enterprise will be responsible for the design, procurement and construction of the charging pile. This mode of charging station has large market space, high utilization rate and strong profitability, but enterprises are subject to more constraints.

Real estate company charging pile EPC model

That is, property developers and operators cooperate to install charging piles on commercial and residential land. This model is convenient for residents who buy electric vehicles to charge at night, expanding the sales of electric vehicles, but it has high requirements for the design, planning and construction of real estate companies.
