The biggest integrated demonstration charging station, combining solar power generation, energy storage, charging and testing, recently started operating in Taizhou city, East China's Jiangsu province.
Operated by Jiangsu Huazhao Energy Saving Service, the charging station is located on Yongping Road in the Taizhou Medical High-tech Zone. It can generate about 1,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day and can reduce carbon emissions by about 400 metric tons annually.

"The electricity generated by photovoltaic panels every day is prioritized for use at the charging piles," said Meng Dongdong, head of the new energy division of the company.
"If there is surplus electricity, it will be transported to energy storage cabinets for storage," Meng said, adding that the charging station adopts energy-saving lighting and a smart energy management system, exploring new paths for environment protection.
At present, there are eight fast-charging piles and four slow-charging piles in the station.
The charging equipment there is equipped with a battery health detector, which can issue a battery detection report after charging, providing full lifecycle care for new energy vehicles.
Meng said that his company plans to add another 12 fast-charging piles in the charging station and offer unmanned retail and solar power carport charging and more new formats, making new energy services more intimate and intelligent.
