英國(guó)電動(dòng)汽車(chē)充電樁安裝強(qiáng)勢(shì)回歸

據(jù)電力新聞2020年7月27日倫敦報(bào)道，英國(guó)電動(dòng)汽車(chē)（EV）充電樁公司Pod Point洞察力主管詹姆斯· 梅克邁7月27日告訴記者，Pod Point最近幾個(gè)月EV充電樁銷(xiāo)售強(qiáng)勢(shì)回歸，正在收復(fù)早期封鎖期間的失地。

Pod Point最近剛剛完成了在200個(gè)樂(lè)購(gòu)?fù)＼?chē)場(chǎng)內(nèi)安裝充電樁的工作，同時(shí)與大眾汽車(chē)公司一起推出了600個(gè)充電樁的安裝計(jì)劃。在4月和5月的禁售期受到嚴(yán)重影響以后，Pod Point目前的家庭充電樁安裝水平已恢復(fù)到了疫情爆發(fā)前的水平。

梅克邁說(shuō)：“在封鎖之前，我們?cè)幱谝粋€(gè)強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)的階段，而它現(xiàn)在似乎在很大程度上正在強(qiáng)勢(shì)回歸?！?/span>

雖然由于在家辦公模式和客流量減少，工作場(chǎng)所和零售充電增長(zhǎng)前景不確定，但梅克邁仍持樂(lè)觀態(tài)度。

梅克邁說(shuō)：“我們不知道封鎖所帶來(lái)的環(huán)境改善的意識(shí)能在多大程度上延續(xù)到復(fù)蘇，但我們正進(jìn)入一個(gè)持續(xù)的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時(shí)期，所以決策需要是長(zhǎng)期和合理的。沒(méi)有人會(huì)建議投資柴油乘用車(chē)。”而沃爾沃首席執(zhí)行官一直直言不諱地相信充電樁安裝將會(huì)加速。

UK EV charge point installation 'coming back strong' after lockdown: Pod Point

UK electric vehicle charger company Pod Point has seen strong sales in recent months and is recovering ground lost during the early lockdown, the company's Head of Insights James McKemey told July 27.

The company has just completed installing chargers across 200 Tesco car parks as it rolls out a 600-site program with Volkswagen, and is now back to pre-Covid levels of monthly home charger installations after a lockdown-affected April and May.

"We were in a phase of strong growth pre-lockdown, and it seems largely to be returning," McKemey said.

While the outlook was uncertain for workplace and retail charging growth due to work-from-home patterns and reduced footfall, McKemey remained positive.

"We don't know how much awareness of environmental improvement due to lockdown will carry over into a recovery, but we're heading into a sustained period of economic difficulty, so decisions need to be long-term and sound. Nobody is going to advise investment in diesel passenger cars, and the CEO of Volvo has been forthright in his belief that electrification will accelerate," he said.
