Two departments: Promote the reduction of the charging burden of electric bicycles for the masses
The General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on regulating the charging behavior of electric bicycles on the 20th. The notice proposes to regulate charging behavior, guide the reasonable formation of charging service charging standards, and promote the reduction of the charging burden on the masses.
The notice clarifies that the charging fees for outdoor electric bicycle charging facilities mainly include charging electricity fees and service fees, which should be marked and priced separately. Charging facility operators should follow the relevant provisions on clear price marking and mark the charging electricity price, service fee items and charging standards in conspicuous locations such as charging places, mobile phone applications, WeChat public accounts, etc., and shall not charge any fees that are not marked.
In terms of electricity price policy, the notice proposes that for the use of electricity by electric bicycle charging facilities in residential areas, the power grid companies shall charge charging facility operators and charging facility operators to users according to the residential combined meter user electricity price. The use of electricity by electric bicycle charging facilities outside residential areas shall be implemented according to the electricity price policy of the place where they are located.
The notice clearly states that charging service fees are subject to market regulation. Charging facility operators should fully consider the public service and livelihood attributes of outdoor charging facilities, and reasonably formulate charging service fee standards in accordance with the principles of cost recovery, reasonable profits, and honesty and credit, combined with market supply and demand conditions. Local governments should encourage market competition and shall not designate charging facility operators by administrative means. At the same time, efforts should be made to reduce charging service fees.
