The Site-selection logic for Heavy Truck Charging Stations

The site selection logic for heavy truck charging stations mainly encompasses the following aspects:

• Traffic Flow Analysis:

Selection of a location with heavy traffic and frequent heavy trucks to guarantee the charging station’s utilization rate and economic benefits. Ideal spots include areas near expressway entrances and exits or at the intersections of national and provincial highways.

• Geographical Advantages:

Prioritize areas with a high concentration of heavy trucks, such as logistics parks, industrial parks, ports, and freight stations, to facilitate heavy truck drivers to find and use charging stations.

• Power Supply Conditions:

The power grid in the selected site must have sufficient capacity and stability. This is crucial to meet the high - power demands of heavy truck charging stations. Inadequate power grid capacity can lead to a decrease in charging efficiency.

• Land Resources and Construction Conditions:

Select sites with sufficient land resources and favorable construction conditions to facilitate the construction and subsequent operation and maintenance of the charging station. Priority should be given to industrial land or construction land that complies with local planning.

• Policy Support and Subsidies:

Factor in local government support and subsidy policies for new energy infrastructure construction to reduce construction and operating costs.

• Environmental Protection Requirements:

The site selection should comply with environmental protection requirements and avoid adverse impacts on the surrounding environment.

• User Needs and Feedback:

Fully consider the actual needs and feedback of heavy truck drivers. By understanding their pain points and preferences, we can choose locations that are most convenient for them to use.

• Surrounding Environment :

The surrounding area should be equipped with certain supporting facilities, such as driver rest areas, vehicle repair and maintenance facilities, catering, accommodation, etc., to provide convenience for heavy truck drivers and increase the attractiveness of the charging station.

By following the above site - selection logic, we can effectively improve the utilization rate and service quality of heavy truck charging stations, thereby promoting the popularization and application of new energy heavy trucks.
