Since the beginning of this year, in accordance with the unified deployment of the provincial government, our department has organized a special operation to build electric bicycle parking spaces and charging facilities in existing residential areas to solve the problem of parking and charging difficulties for the public from the source.

First, formulate an implementation plan. In accordance with the requirements of the "Action Plan for the Full-chain Rectification of Electric Bicycle Safety Hazards in Anhui Province" issued by the General Office of the Provincial Government (Anhui Government Office Secret [2024] No. 31), our department, together with the Provincial Fire Rescue Bureau, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Natural Resources and other units, jointly issued an The "Work Plan for the Construction of Electric Bicycle Parking Spaces and Charging Facilities in Existing Residential Areas in the Province" (Jianfang [2024] No. 71) was issued, and all localities were deployed to set up parking spaces and 100% of the existing electric bicycles in existing residential areas in principle.No less than 30% of the standard for installing charging facilities，Starting from June 2024, we will strive to take about one year to，Finishresidential areaelectric bikeparking spaces andCharging facility construction tasks。

The second is to organize a thorough investigation.Deploy localities to conduct a comprehensive survey of existing residential communities according to the risk level of electric bicycle parking and charging and establish work ledgers by classification.Focus on concentrated construction in old communities, resettlement housing communities, and other communities where the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent and there are great hidden dangers in charging safety.. According to local surveys and reports, 7,513 of the province’s 14,600 residential communities lack approximately 1.2 million electric bicycle parking spaces;There are 6,804 residential areas lacking about 600,000 charging ports.Our office will consolidate local responsibilities based on local investigations and accelerate construction.

The third is to publish specifications and standards.Adhering to standards first and providing standards and specifications for the construction of electric bicycle parking spaces in various places, our department quickly organized experts to conduct research and demonstration, and concentrated industry forces to formulate and publish the "Fire Protection Design Guidelines for Electric Bicycle Parking Lots (Sheds)" and "Fire Protection Design Guidelines for Electric Bicycle Parking Lots". The general layout, site selection function, fire water supply and fire extinguishing facilities, automatic fire alarm facilities and other fire protection technical requirements of electric bicycle parking lots (sheds) are clearly stipulated, standardizing the fire protection design of electric bicycle parking places in our province, and preventing and reducing electric bicycle fire dangers and hazards at the source.

The fourth is to accelerate construction.All regions adhere to government guidance and policy support, coordinating the use of unified construction by the government, construction and operation by professional companies, organizing owners' committees, and self-construction by property service companies, etc.Accelerate the construction of parking spaces and charging facilities for electric bicycles.like,Hefei City actively promotesCarry out at subway entrances, parks, enterprises and institutions, etc.Construction of public charging facilities, reduce centralized charging pressure in residential areas;Bozhou City will addE-bike parking spaces andCharging piles are included in the renovation plan of old communities.Promote integrated fire protection systems for charging carports.Wuhu City hired a professional planning team to rationally layout the construction according to the actual situation of the community.E-bike parking andcharging facilities, give full play to the coordination role of discussions such as "Owners Please Come to the Table" and "Owner Reception Day" to smooth communication channels and form a pattern of joint construction, joint governance and sharing.

The fifth is to carry out safety publicity.Actively carrying out the "National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day" publicity week activities, our department compiled a "Safety Knowledge Manual in the Property Field" and distributed it to the public. The "Notice on Strengthening the Property Management of Electric Bicycles in Residential Areas" was issued, urging property service companies to strengthen their position publicity, and make policies and regulations known to every household through community bulletin boards, small speakers, banners, drones, etc.All over the country through the owner’s WeChat groupPlay fire accident cases,Door-to-door promotion of the use and precautions of charging pilesetc., so that residents can fully understand the hazards of flying cable charging and effectively improve residents’ awareness of risk prevention.

Based on your suggestions, we will further implement the following aspects:

First, classified organization construction. Focus on the construction of electric bicycle parking spaces and charging facilities in existing residential areas where the contradiction between supply and demand is acute and the risk of safety hazards is high.In accordance with the principle of "build first and then destroy, first easy and then difficult", we will strive to complete no less than 70% of the construction target tasks by the end of December 2024, and fully complete them by the end of June 2025.For existing residential communities with good electric bicycle parking spaces and charging facilities, and where the contradiction between supply and demand is not prominent,Through installation, renovation and strengthening of management, we will further improve the construction of parking and charging infrastructure, continuously improve the convenience and safety of parking and charging for residents, and strive to fully complete the installation and renovation tasks by the end of December 2024.

The second is to strengthen operation and maintenance management.For existing residential communities after completion of construction and renovation, the management responsibilities shall be clarified, and third-party organizations such as property service companies shall be authorized to be entrusted with daily maintenance and management. Supervise property service companies to implement the safety management responsibilities of parking places and charging facilities in accordance with the contract, strengthen inspections and inspections of electric bicycle parking and charging in the service area, take timely measures to stop violations of laws and regulations, and promptly report serious cases that refuse to make corrections.

The third is to revitalize existing resources.。Make full use of scattered sites and vacant plots in the community, coordinate planning and deployment, meet safety regulations, and speed up construction and delivery.Assess the safety status of existing electric bicycle parking and charging places such as underground, building overhead floors, parking sheds, etc. If there are potential safety hazards, they will be transformed and upgraded in accordance with current standards and relevant regulations.revitalizeparking andCharging resources. There is no need to apply for construction land planning permit, construction project planning permit and construction permit procedures when using public areas in the community or existing bicycle parking spaces for site selection and construction.

The fourth is to standardize charging charges.Electricity prices for charging electric bicycles in residential areas must be based on residents’ electricity prices, guiding enterprises to reasonably determine charging service price standards.. Urge construction property rights units, user units and property service companies to actively create conditionsHelp reduce charging service prices。Charging facility operation and management units may charge comprehensive charging service fees (including electricity fees and service fees) from users based on charging time or actual charging power consumption.In accordance with the relevant regulations on clear pricing, the charging and service prices shall be publicized in conspicuous locations such as charging places and mobile applications, and any unannounced fees shall not be charged.
