Public institutions face stringent new policies for charging infrastructure; Acrel's charging station solutions meet the mandatory requirements of these policies.

 

 

Preface

 

Starting March 1, China's public institutions have officially adopted mandatory standards for charging infrastructure—the "Guidelines for the Configuration and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Public Institutions" (JS/T 302-2026). With its "rigid requirements and strict enforcement," this standard marks the end of the era of voluntary charging infrastructure development. Non-confidential public institutions—including government agencies, public institutions, public schools, and public hospitals—are now subject to performance evaluations, with clear mandates requiring at least 25% of charging stations to be installed, a balanced ratio of fast and slow charging facilities, and compliance of outdated parking facilities by the end of 2027. These stringent requirements have directly generated a market growth worth hundreds of billions of yuan, signaling that the charging infrastructure industry has officially entered a new phase characterized by standardization, scaling, and intelligence.

 

 

New Industry Trends: Policy Direction Set, Three Core Needs Become Key to Development

 

The implementation of the new policy has clarified the development direction for the charging infrastructure industry. Public charging facility construction is no longer merely about equipment installation; it has evolved into a systematic project encompassing end-to-end support, full-scenario compatibility, and comprehensive lifecycle operations. Three core requirements have become market standards:

 

1. Product compatibility: Strict adherence to the ratio between DC fast charging (20%-40%,40kW–250kW) and AC slow charging (60%-80%, primarily 7kW), while ensuring installation flexibility and environmental adaptability;

 

2. Integrated construction: New projects must achieve "synchronized design, construction, acceptance, and commissioning" of charging facilities with main structures; retrofitting existing parking facilities requires low-cost, rapid implementation with guaranteed electrical safety;

 

3. Intelligent operations: Support for orderly charging and V2G vehicle-grid interaction, implementation of public-benefit peak-valley electricity pricing, unconditional public accessibility, along with data security, fund supervision, and remote maintenance capabilities.

 

In response to emerging industry demands, Acrel has leveraged its years of technological expertise and product portfolio to develop a comprehensive one-stop solution integrating "equipment + platform + services," effectively addressing the core challenges in charging infrastructure deployment for public institutions.

 

 

Acrel Charging Station Solution: Comprehensive Support from Construction to Operation

 

1. Comprehensive Product Portfolio Meeting Slow-Fast Charging Requirements: Acrel offers a full range of charging stations covering AC slow charging, DC fast charging, and split-type high-power units, with power outputs ranging from 7 kW to 720 kW. These solutions precisely comply with the new policy's requirements for a 20%-40% DC fast charging and 60%-80% AC slow charging ratio. The core 7 kW AC slow charging models—AEV210 and AEV300—support both pole-mounted and wall-mounted installations, featuring compact size, easy deployment, and IP54/IP65 protection ratings suitable for various indoor and outdoor public environments. They support multiple activation methods including QR code scanning, card payment, and plug-and-play functionality, meeting the convenience demands of public use scenarios.

 

DC fast charging covers the entire power range from 40 kW to 250 kW: 30/40 kW DC chargers are suitable for small public parking lots, while 60/80/120/160 kW chargers meet the fast-charging demands of large venues and transportation hubs. The modular DC chargers support power configurations of 240/480/720 kW, with each charger delivering a maximum output current of 250 A, complying with the latest fast-charging power standards. Their modular design offers enhanced fault tolerance and easier maintenance.

 

Comprehensive product safety assurance: Equipped with multiple protection functions including undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection, it is insured by China People's Property Insurance Company Limited and can be paired with a current-limiting protector to strengthen the safety measures for power usage in public institutions.  

2. Comprehensive end-to-end infrastructure support tailored to the "Four Synchronizations" principle and old parking lot renovation.

 

In compliance with the new policy requiring "four synchronizations for new projects and rapid renovation for existing ones," Acrel delivers an integrated source-grid-load-storage-charging solution that covers the entire lifecycle—from design to commissioning—balancing systematic planning for new projects with operational efficiency for renovations: Integrated support for new projects: Leveraging the EMS enterprise microgrid platform, charging piles are deeply integrated with photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and distribution systems. Comprehensive energy planning is completed during the design phase, intelligent monitoring of all equipment is implemented during acceptance, and post-commissioning direct integration with the operational platform ensures true realization of the "Four Synchronizations."

 

Cost-effective rapid retrofit for aging parking facilities: Acrel charging stations feature a lightweight design, with AC chargers weighing only 3.2–5 kg and DC chargers supporting flexible column or ground installation without extensive civil engineering work. Their modular architecture enables seamless integration with multiple equipment brands and rapid connection to existing power distribution systems, assisting public institutions in achieving full compliance by the end of 2027.

 

3. A fully intelligent platform system that meets the requirements for orderly charging and public welfare operations

Acrel has established a three-tier system comprising an integrated energy service management platform, an orderly charging operation management platform, and a smart microgrid energy platform. Centered on IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, this system complies with the new policy requirements for orderly charging, public access, and safe operations. For orderly charging and V2G integration: the charging operation management platform supports various strategies—including first-come-first-served charging, bidding, averaging, and guaranteed charging—with integrated management of charging station control, power consumption monitoring, and platform communication via an energy control gateway. This ensures transformers operate at optimal load rates and incorporates a V2G vehicle-to-grid interaction interface, laying the foundation for future energy exchange.

 

 

Public Welfare Operations and Social Openness: The user-side APP/mini-program supports instant charging via QR code scanning and charging reservations, with no hidden fees, enabling precise implementation of residential peak-valley electricity pricing and reasonable operation and maintenance service fees. The platform is fully accessible to the public and interoperates with traffic platforms such as AutoNavi and Xiaoju, enhancing charging station utilization while ensuring transparent consumption details and one-click charging invoice generation, thereby optimizing user experience.

 

 

Security Operations and Professional Maintenance: The platform adopts a C/B/S hybrid architecture with separated front-end and back-end components, effectively defending against hacker attacks. Data is stored for five years and supports remote diagnostics; funds are supervised by banks, with withdrawals processed only after approval to ensure financial security.

 

The opportunity has arrived; let's work together for a shared future.

 

The implementation of the new charging infrastructure policy for public institutions has not only reshaped the development landscape of the charging pile industry but also propelled the new energy sector toward greater standardization and intelligence. Amid this expansion of the hundreds-of-billion-yuan market, Acrel leverages its core capabilities in comprehensive product portfolios, fully intelligent platforms, and end-to-end services to deliver customized charging infrastructure solutions for government agencies, schools, hospitals, cultural and sports venues, and other public institutions. This helps organizations swiftly meet regulatory requirements while establishing a safe, convenient, and intelligent charging service ecosystem for society.
