“It used to be almost 50 yuan for a single charge, but today I actually spent more than 80 yuan!” Recently, many NEV owners have frequently complained that charging prices have risen. In particular, during peak periods in popular locations such as core business districts and high-speed service areas, the increase was even more obvious. Other people claim online that the increase in the price of electricity for charging stations is due to “the use of oil to generate electricity.” Due to the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, international oil prices continue to rise, and domestic refined oil prices have risen. “The rise in oil prices will inevitably push up electricity prices.” The “Economic Daily” article points out that this kind of logical reasoning seems to make sense, but it is not in line with the facts. Currently, there is no “large-scale oil power generation” situation in China's power grid. According to data provided by the National Energy Administration, China's electricity structure is dominated by coal power, hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaics. The share of fuel power generation is extremely low, and it is only used for emergency backup in remote areas, which has almost no impact on electricity prices across the country. The so-called “use of oil to generate electricity drives up charging costs” is actually a misinterpretation of China's energy structure.
