Farewell to Charging Anxiety ＂May 1＂ Travel New Energy Owners Must See

　　According to the Southeast Network (Reporter Feng Chuanye correspondent Song Yaxin), the "May Day" holiday is coming, and many car owners have already made travel plans. The reporter learned from Fujian Expressway Energy Company that Fujian Expressway has laid out charging stations in more than 100 pairs of service areas and built more than 900 charging piles, of which the coverage rate of fast charging stations is as high as 88%, and the charging service network of expressway intercity traffic in the province has basically taken shape.

　　This year’s "May 1 ST" holiday arrangement is: April 29 to May 3, a total of 5 days. Free passage time is five days during the May Day holiday in 2023 (from 0: 00 on April 29th to 24: 00 on May 3rd), and Fujian Expressway will continue to implement the free passage policy for passenger vehicles with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats).

　　The high-speed department predicts that the public’s willingness to travel during the "May 1" Golden Week this year is very strong. Combined with the comprehensive analysis and judgment on the changes of expressway traffic in the whole province during the May Day holiday in recent years and the Qingming holiday this year, it is predicted that the overall expressway traffic in our province will rise sharply during the May Day holiday this year, which is expected to break through the level of the same period in previous years and hit a new record high. The travel groups are mainly long-distance inter-provincial tours and short-distance trips to go on road trip. It is suggested to plan the route scientifically and rationally stagger the peak trips.

　　In order to facilitate the travel of electric car owners, Fujian Expressway has sorted out the list of service areas where charging stations have not yet been laid out, helping car owners to plan their trips in advance, avoiding entering the service area without charging stations by mistake and improving charging efficiency.

　　The service area of the charging station has not yet been laid out as follows:

　　Fuzhou area: Longtian service area of Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway and Wutong service area of Puyan Expressway;

　　Zhangzhou area: Huangtian service area of Pingmei Expressway, Banzi Yutang service area and Meifeng service area of Guping Expressway;

　　Longyan area: Rentian Service Area of Zhangwu Expressway, Ancient City Service Area of Xiamen-Chengdu Expressway and Tufang Service Area;

　　Sanming area: Fengxi service area, ancient ginkgo service area of Shaxia Expressway and Dajin Lake service area of Puwu Expressway;

　　Tips for using charging piles

　　1. During the charging process, the vehicle should be parked and turned off, and it is not allowed to move at will.

　　2. Check the charging pile, charging cable and charging gun for obvious appearance damage before charging the gun. If there is any damage, charging should be prohibited.

　　3. When charging, the charging gun should be inserted to the end, otherwise the equipment protection function will be prohibited from being electrified.

　　4. After starting charging, the charging equipment and lines are electrified at this time. Despite multiple protection measures, you should try to avoid touching the charging equipment again.

　　5. It is forbidden to plug and unplug the charging gun forcibly when the charging is not over, and it is forbidden to press the emergency stop button in non-emergency situations.

　　6. Non-professional operation and maintenance personnel are strictly forbidden to disassemble or modify the charging equipment.

　　Situation of high-speed power exchange stations in the province

　　In cooperation with Weilai Energy Company, Fujian Expressway Energy Company has operated five power stations in three pairs of service areas with large traffic and high power demand in the province, including one second-generation power station and four third-generation power stations.

　　Compared with the second-generation station, the third-generation power station has the advantages of higher efficiency, stronger service and smarter operation. It only takes 3-4 minutes to complete the power exchange, and the daily service times can reach 408 times, which can realize the functions of calling vehicles and automatically changing power, and can comprehensively improve the experience of power exchange owners.

　　Tips for using Weilai Power Station

　　1. Navigate to the nearest power exchange station by calling NOMI, and the locomotive system will prompt whether it is necessary to make an appointment for power exchange in advance, click OK, and then go directly to the power exchange station;

　　2. After arriving at the power exchange station, a power exchange prompt will pop up on the central control panel, and the owner can choose to park automatically and enter the power exchange station, or back up by himself and let the power exchange station staff back up and enter the power exchange station;

　　3. After the vehicle stops in the power exchange station, it will automatically start to change power. After the power exchange is completed, the vehicle will give a prompt, and then it can directly drive out of the power exchange station.

　　In the next step, Fujian Expressway will encrypt the network layout of power stations, and strive to achieve one power station every 100 kilometers of expressway. It is estimated that 11 power stations will be added to Fujian Expressway during the year, which will radiate the sections of Shenhai Expressway, Jingtai Expressway and Changshen Expressway in the province. This will greatly enhance the convenience service capacity and provide a strong "green power support" for high-speed electric vehicles to travel to Fujian Expressway.
