On the evening of April 3, Tesla released a charging pile tailored for the Chinese market, called Cybervault Cyber (Cybercharge), which is currently priced at RMB 5,500 on Tesla (China) official website (GB 30 meters installation service)。

It is reported that the biggest feature of the new charging pile is to support a dual-purpose, can be used for home charging, can also be used to carry out, and the device is only 13 kg, carrying it will not be so troublesome。At the same time, the latest charging pile is also compatible with all Tesla models, and the corresponding charging performance is 32A / 7KW。

It is worth noting that the charging pile can take the main body of the charger out of the outer box and purchase a special adapter (8A) as an option to expand it into a mobile charging connector。This is also the main selling point of Tesla charging equipment, allowing Tesla users to find a charging place at any time without being restricted by the charging network。

Generally speaking, using fast charging, although a new energy vehicle can be fully charged in only one hour, it will cause loss of its battery to a certain extent。If you want to keep the car battery in a healthy state, the owner can only use the slow charging that takes 6-8 hours。

In this regard, Cybercharge follows the convenient and efficient replenishment characteristics of Tesla charging products.。Take the Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version as an example, it only takes 6 hours to charge from 20% to 90%。At the same time, the 6-meter-long gun line allows car owners to easily deal with car scenes such as "not stopping properly" and "far from the pile."。Back home, just stop, insert the gun two action, wake up to start at full power。

In addition, this new Tesla charging pile is tailored for Chinese car owners by the Chinese local team, taking into account the installation environment, power conditions, usage scenarios and other factors of many car owners, achieving local design, local research and development, and local manufacturing.。It is reported that after the mass production and listing of Cybercharger, it plans to continue to iteratively upgrade the product, which can be used to charge third-party vehicles.。At present, owners who buy Tesla Cyberchargers can also enjoy services such as free installation of charging piles and 30-meter cables.。

With the increasing number of new energy vehicles, when will the charging station network mature？

According to Root EV Sale, 1.07 million new energy vehicles will be sold globally in 2022, up 58 percent from 670,000 in 202..5%, more than three times the 3.24 million in 2020。

Under the continuous stimulus of policy and demand, the penetration rate of the global new energy vehicle market has reached record highs.。As the world's largest electric vehicle market, China Automobile Association data show that in 2022 China's new energy vehicle sales of 688.70,000 vehicles, up 93.4%, the penetration rate reached 25.6%, up from 12.1pcts。In January-February 2023, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 93.30,000 vehicles, sustained explosive growth。

As the penetration rate of new energy vehicles continues to rise at a high speed, and the policies and industrial ecology of various countries are still in the process of continuous evolution, the development trend of charging piles still has a very high growth potential.。

Compared with the increasing number of new energy vehicles, the current charging station network is not perfect。According to data from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, as of January 2023, the cumulative number of charging infrastructures nationwide was 541.10,000 units。According to data from the Ministry of Public Security, by the end of 2022, the number of new energy vehicles in China will reach 13.1 million。Simply put, the number of charging facilities can not keep up with the popularity of new energy vehicles。

Many people worry about battery power when looking for a suitable charging station on the road。When there is a lot of demand during the Spring Festival and National Day, there will be long queues at charging stations。Although the current market and policies are encouraging the popularization of charging stations, it is still impossible to fully meet the market demand of new energy vehicle users in a short time。

In addition, it is also a problem that charging piles of different brands cannot be used uniformly。According to data from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, in the current 541.Of 10,000 charging infrastructures, only 183.90,000 are public charging piles。In other words, most charging equipment can only be used in special vehicles。Even if other brands of new energy vehicle users encounter them, they can only drive away to find a charging station that can be used。

With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, the call for the opening of a dedicated charging network is increasing。This can not only solve the charging problem of ordinary users, improve the utilization rate and efficiency of charging piles, but also expand the market scale of new energy vehicles。Many regions are encouraging new energy vehicle companies to open up charging networks to make it easier for more people to use。Many brands are also responding to this encouragement。

NIO began planning to open its charging network in 2018 and has gradually opened up in recent years.。According to Weilai statistics, during the Spring Festival in 2023, nearly 76% of Weilai charging piles will serve users of third-party brands such as BYD and Tesla.。In addition, Tesla and Geeks both announced last summer that they would open their own charging networks for third-party new energy vehicles.。GAC Aean and Xiaopeng are also gradually opening up charging networks for other brands of new energy vehicles.。

In fact, it's a win-win situation for car companies。In addition to certain subsidies, opening up the charging network can lower the threshold for the popularization of energy vehicles in the new year, allow more customers to join, expand the market size of new energy vehicles, and indirectly increase the value and sales of private brands.。For many charging pile operators, this will also reduce their operating costs and gain more benefits。

Of course, charging station networks are not so easy to build。Just like everyone's mobile phone charger, different brands of charging interfaces are also different。Unifying the interface standard of new energy vehicles will be the primary problem faced by all automobile companies。After that, there are fees, maintenance and other issues waiting for them to be resolved.。
