First, he analyzed the developing status of Sichuan charging stations enterprises, the numbers of charging stations enterprises in Sichuan is very less, with low market share, so the market is very potential. However, due to the insufficient charging pile supply chain, high production cost and lack of its own core technology, so that the majority of Sichuan charging pile enterprises are in the situation of loss, even serious loss. At the same time, there is also a serious low-price competition in the industry, which further causes the hard survival of charging pile enterprises. He said that in the future, the competition among charging pile enterprises will be more intense, from the product, technology, service and other aspects of the comprehensive strength of the competition, and finally only the enterprise to optimize “internal capability” to win the market.

Main problem of the industry

Director Mr. Wu mentioned, “The raw material cost of Sichuan enterprises is much higher than that of coastal companies. The metal parts produced by a Shenzhen company are shipped to the assembly plant in Chengdu, the assembly cost plus freight cost is still lower than the ex-factory price of metal parts of Sichuan enterprises.
