This is the primary business model considered for electric vehicle charging stations. Under this model, electric vehicle users directly charge their vehicles at the charging station/charging pile, consuming electricity instantly and paying on-site to complete the transaction. Therefore, building a corresponding electric vehicle charging billing system and introducing a centralized information management platform are crucial components of the construction of electric vehicle charging and discharging stations.
Electric vehicle charging system structure
Charging stations can be functionally divided into four sub-modules: power distribution system, charging system, battery scheduling system, and charging station monitoring system. Charging stations generally provide charging for vehicles in three ways: regular charging, fast charging, and battery swapping. Regular charging is mostly AC charging, which can use 220V or 380V voltage. Fast charging is mostly DC charging. The main equipment of a charging station includes chargers, charging piles, active power filters, and a power monitoring system.
The construction of an electric vehicle charging billing system consists of three parts, which are described below:
1. Build a charging billing system management platform to centrally manage the basic data involved in the system, such as electric vehicle information, electricity purchaser information, and asset information.
2. Construct a charging billing system operation platform to manage the charging and discharging of electric vehicles and the recharge of electricity purchasers.
3. Build a charging billing system query platform to comprehensively query relevant data generated by the management platform and the operation platform.
