Electric bicycle charging is "no longer expensive" to ensure that residents are "willing to use and can afford it". The Office of the Capital Urban Environmental Construction Management Committee recently issued the "Implementation Plan on Further Strengthening the Whole Chain Control of Electric Bicycles in this Municipality". Before the end of 2022, we will strive to basically cover the construction of charging facilities in residential areas in the city; By the end of 2023, the hidden dangers of charging electric bicycles and batteries upstairs will be basically eliminated, and the number of fire accidents and deaths of electric bicycles will be significantly reduced. The reporter noted in particular that in view of the problem of "expensive charging", which has attracted public attention, the implementation plan clearly stated that the charging facilities in residential areas will be priced and charged separately in the mode of "electricity fee+service fee", in which "electricity fee" will be charged according to the price of residential electricity, and "service fee" will be clearly marked.

If the electric bicycle is parked and charged in the corridor and refuses to correct it, it will be linked to personal credit information.
In order to put an end to the dangerous behavior of electric bicycles "going upstairs to the home", Beijing has come up with new methods. In the future, charging the electric bicycle into the corridor may have an impact on the owner’s personal credit information.
The reporter learned from the implementation plan announced this time that the city will further intensify the investigation and punishment of illegal charging behavior of electric bicycles, carry out joint law enforcement, and investigate and deal with the parking and charging behavior of electric bicycles in public halls, evacuation walkways, stairwells, safety exits and other public areas. In addition to discouraging, stopping and reporting, those who refuse to correct and the circumstances are serious will be gradually included in the credit information system.
What if there is no place to charge in the community? Public charging facilities will be built around the community on a pilot basis.
Charging at home or in the corridor is forbidden, but the community lacks formal charging facilities. "Charging is difficult" has become the biggest headache for many electric bicycle owners.
In order to make charging no longer a problem that plagues the public, the implementation plan proposes that the city will realize full coverage of charging facilities in different categories and places.
Among them, for new construction, renovation and expansion of residential areas, electric bicycle parking places and charging facilities will be included in the supporting construction indicators of public service facilities, and the proportion of charging facilities will be clearly defined.
For existing residential areas, all districts and regions are encouraged to adjust measures to local conditions, and vigorously promote the full coverage of charging facilities in residential areas according to the principle of "charging (replacing) electric cabinets as the main part and charging piles as the auxiliary part", and build charging interfaces according to the actual charging needs of citizens, so as to encourage the promotion of more secure electric cabinets.
For residential quarters or bungalows with no fixed parking places, no power supply conditions and limited site resources, we should encourage the study of conditional public places, corners, spaces under bridges, branch roads and secondary trunk roads around the quarters in combination with roadside parking and power supply conditions, and pilot the construction of public charging facilities according to the principle of "charging (replacing) electric cabinets mainly, supplemented by charging piles".
At the same time, the supplementary construction of electric bicycle parking places and charging facilities will be included in the comprehensive renovation of old residential areas, and the renovation plan will be formulated in accordance with the principle of "building as much as possible" to ensure the completion within the prescribed time limit.
Charging charges ensure that residents are "willing to use, affordable" and "electricity fee+service fee" are charged separately.
Some communities have clearly built a unified electric bicycle charging facility, but the owners have reported that the charging facilities installed in the community are too expensive. In order to solve this problem, the implementation plan specifically puts forward the requirement of "standardizing charging charges".
Among them, the charging facilities set up in residential areas adopt the mode of "electricity fee+service fee", which should be priced and charged separately, and cannot be packaged and mixed. The charging electricity fee shall be charged according to the price of residents’ living electricity, in accordance with the electricity price policy stipulated by the government; When determining the main body of charging facilities construction, each community should clearly standardize the charging service fee collection standard, and implement the price tag to ensure that residents are willing to use it and can afford it.
Electric bicycles and batteries will be "identity-bound" with the owner.
Electric bicycles and batteries are expected to be "identity-bound" with car owners, and realize the identity authentication of "one car, one pool and one yard".
The reporter learned from the implementation plan that the city will encourage the popularization and application of smart sensors, two-dimensional codes and electronic chips on electric bicycles and batteries, and bind the owner with the vehicle and battery information through the identity authentication method of "one car, one pool and one yard", so as to keep the front-end links such as production, sales and registration consistent with the back-end links such as riding, charging, parking, maintenance and recycling, and help realize traceability, traceability and quality control of the whole chain life cycle.
Sales stores will buy insurance for customers against property damage and theft.
Electric bicycles also need to be "insured".
The implementation plan proposes that the city will promote electric bicycle sales stores to purchase property loss insurance, personal insurance and anti-theft insurance for electric bicycle users. Promote manufacturers of charging facilities to purchase product liability insurance for their products.
In addition, enterprises engaged in the construction and operation of charging facilities are encouraged to purchase charging safety liability insurance, fire insurance and public liability insurance for their own charging facilities in accordance with the principle of "whoever owns it is insured".
The city will also guide and promote the construction of no less than one self-defense and self-rescue force in each community (village) that can undertake daily fire safety inspections and initial fire fighting, and study and formulate guidelines for the safe use of electric bicycles.
Units and individuals will be severely punished for illegally disassembling and changing electric bicycles and batteries.
The city will carry out special rectification actions to severely crack down on illegal modification of electric bicycles and batteries, and it is strictly forbidden to modify original accessories, external battery brackets, dismantle key components such as speed limiters, replace high-power batteries, and recycle vehicle accessories and batteries with old ones and sell them again.
The reporter noted that according to the implementation plan announced this time, both units and individuals who have illegally demolished and changed will be severely punished.
Institutions and state-owned enterprises will focus on cleaning up illegal vehicles parked inside the units.
For licensed, unlicensed and over-standard electric bicycles in the city, as well as electric bicycles purchased before November 1, 2018 that are not in the product catalogue or have incomplete application registration materials, we will continue to promote recycling and disposal, strictly investigate their driving on the road and speed up elimination.
Accelerate the clean-up of illegal vehicles, and relevant units will also "do their duty". The implementation plan proposes that party and government organs, institutions and state-owned enterprises at all levels in this city should fulfill the management responsibility of electric bicycle parking and charging in their own units, and organize the centralized clean-up of illegal electric bicycles parked inside their units.
