Are there charging piles at every service area?

Some service areas have charging piles, but not all of them. Precautions for charging electric vehicles: 1. Turn off the headlights: With the increasing number of private charging piles, they are usually installed in underground parking lots. However, when charging, be sure to set the headlights to AUTO or turn them off. Additionally, since electric vehicles do not have an engine idle, you must check whether the vehicle power is turned off before leaving the car. Generally, the headlights and low-power electrical devices in new energy vehicles are powered by the vehicle's battery. If left on for a long time, the battery can easily discharge. Even if the main battery is fully charged, the vehicle battery might be depleted, affecting the vehicle's ability to start. 2. Avoid using the air conditioning and in-car devices: Most owners tend to wait inside the car while charging their electric vehicles. During hot summers or cold winters, owners might consider turning on the air conditioning. If possible, avoid using it, as charging while running the air conditioning can reduce the lifespan of the battery pack.

As a seasoned driver who frequently takes electric vehicles on highways, I can confirm that not every service area is equipped with charging stations, as construction progress varies by region. Around major cities or busy routes, most service areas have charging facilities, but in remote rural or mountainous areas, sometimes only traditional gas stations are available. I've personally been stranded at a rest area without charging stations, having to spend time navigating to the nearest town for a charge, which was quite a hassle. The government is promoting infrastructure projects, but limited by cost and demand, full coverage will take time. Now, I always check my route and charging points via a mobile app before heading out to avoid unexpected anxiety. EV owners should pay extra attention to this and not wait until they're running out of power mid-journey to panic.

From a technical trend perspective, the adoption of charging stations is accelerating, yet not every service area is equipped. As someone focused on the new energy vehicle sector, I've observed that the issues stem from grid limitations and high installation costs. Urban highways have relatively good coverage, but mountainous or underdeveloped areas often lack infrastructure. Future advancements in smart charging and fast-charging technologies will improve the situation, but for now, drivers must rely on themselves: downloading apps like 'PlugShare' to monitor available stations in real-time. When planning routes, prioritize areas with charging services to avoid on-the-road risks. Through personal testing of coverage across different regions, I've found that demand surges during holidays make it easier to end up empty-handed.

The deployment of charging facilities is not yet fully completed, with many service areas still lacking coverage. Through multiple self-driving experiences, I've noticed that charging piles are prioritized in densely populated highway network areas, while other regions may be overlooked. Drivers should not take it for granted and must use map apps to confirm nearby charging points before setting off. Poor planning could lead to delays if you happen upon a service area without charging facilities, so it's best to choose a route with guaranteed charging options.
