To apply for an electricity meter for a new energy vehicle charging pile, you need to provide proof of ownership for a fixed parking space. Below is an introduction to car charging piles: 1. Overview of charging piles: New energy vehicle charging piles function similarly to fuel dispensers at gas stations. They can be fixed to the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential parking areas or charging stations. They can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. 2. Connection method of charging piles: The input end of a new energy vehicle charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. New energy vehicle charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. Users can swipe a specific charging card on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to select the charging method, charging time, print cost data, etc. The display screen of the new energy vehicle charging pile can show data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.
I just applied for an electric vehicle meter a few days ago, and this task really requires multiple trips. First, you need a fixed parking space—either your own property or a long-term lease of at least one year, and you must provide proof. The residential area's power capacity must also be sufficient, requiring a consent letter from the property management. This is the most troublesome part for older neighborhoods—two neighbors in our building group got stuck here. Prepare your ID, car purchase invoice or vehicle license, submit the application on the State Grid app, and a technician will come to inspect the site within five days. The meter is usually installed near the power distribution room. In my neighborhood, the wiring had to go through cable trays, and I had to pay extra for materials. The entire process took nearly three weeks, but the charging pile installation team finished in just one day. Remember to coordinate with the property management before applying.
