As the green development trend continues, the growth of new energy electric vehicles is unstoppable. New energy charging piles, as the key supporting facilities for new energy vehicles, have tremendous market potential. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the Charging Alliance, by the end of 2021, the number of new energy vehicles in China had reached 7.84 million, a year-on-year increase of 59.3%. The number of charging infrastructure facilities reached 2.617 million, a year-on-year increase of 55.7%. The rapid growth of the new energy vehicle market has increased the demand for charging piles, and as the electrification penetration level of automobiles continues to rise, the demand for charging pile markets will further expand.

         

          Charging piles mainly consist of six components: charging pile housing, charging gun housing, plug, socket, circuit breaker, contactor, and power module housing. Most charging piles are installed outdoors, where they must withstand sunlight, rain, extreme cold, and other climatic conditions. In addition, they require excellent fire resistance. Therefore, PC and PC/ABS products are generally chosen for charging pile housing materials. 



        PC and PC/ABS products for new energy applications possess the following outstanding properties, which fully meet the performance requirements of charging pile equipment:

     1. Excellent weather resistance, certified by UL746C-F1, ensuring long-term outdoor use without compromising color and performance stability.

     2. High strength and impact resistance to withstand significant impact without damaging the equipment.

     3. Good temperature resistance, maintaining strength in varying outdoor temperatures.

     4. Variety of V-0 flame-retardant performance options at different thicknesses: 0.7mm, 1.0mm, or 1.5mm.

     5. Variety of 5VA flame-retardant performance options at different thicknesses: 2.0mm, 2.5mm, or 3.0mm.

     6. Customizable color schemes based on customer requirements.
