How to Apply for an Electric Vehicle Charging Station?
2 Answers
First, you need to have a parking space or a leased parking space to meet parking requirements. Required application documents include a written approval from the property management unit for installing a charging pile, proof of ownership or lease agreement for the parking space, and the ID card of the parking space owner or lessee.
My experience of installing a charging pile in my home parking space was quite straightforward. The application process was simple: first, I communicated with the property management to obtain written consent, ensuring the parking space location was reasonable and didn’t block fire exits. Then, I submitted an application on the power company’s website or app, requiring copies of the property certificate, ID card, and personal parking space proof. After their review, they sent someone to inspect the site, checking if the voltage load met standards. Approval usually took one to two weeks, after which I scheduled a professional installer. The entire process took about a month, with installation costs amounting to a few thousand yuan for a mainstream brand with a three-year warranty. Charging daily has been much more convenient, but regular maintenance is needed to clean the plugs and prevent moisture. I recommend checking local subsidy policies in advance to save money, and ensuring proper grounding and lightning protection for safety. Before starting, consult neighbors or professional consulting firms to understand details and avoid rework.
