Under the new goal, State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power is moderately ahead of the deployment of high-power super charging piles, increase the independent research and development of the gun line booster device, improve the user charging experience, and combined with scenic spots, highway along the future of the countryside, the four types of scenarios to create a fast and slow combination of the countryside charging network with full coverage of the point line.
