Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 117 116 Zhetong Electric Power moves into the city, and power companies face off!

A month later, the power line from the second plant of Quanhe City of Zhetong Electric Power Group to the urban area was completed, and municipal power supply has begun to be provided to the urban area.

In addition, several large-scale new energy charging stations planned in the urban area have also been completed.

Because the two charging stations in the city were originally parking lots, which were later converted. The other one in the suburbs also found flat land, paved a layer of land and installed the equipment, so the speed is very fast and can now provide charging services for various new energy vehicles.

Moreover, there are quite a few charging piles in these charging stations. After all, the number of new energy vehicles in the urban area far exceeds that in Lincheng.

In Lincheng, there are very few online-hailing taxis, and not many taxis have switched to new energy vehicles.

However, there are a lot of online-hailing taxis in the urban area. There are many offline stores of several large online-hailing taxi chain brands in the urban area alone.

Therefore, Lin Zhe finally decided to build several times more new energy charging piles in the urban area than in Lincheng.

There are currently three charging stations. The largest one is located on the outskirts of the city and can accommodate more than 200 vehicles for charging at the same time.

Compared with the new energy vehicle charging piles previously installed by Yuanda Electric Power, Zhetong Electric Power's charging stations can be said to have surpassed others in all aspects.

Each charging station has more charging piles than the original Yuanda Power, so users will naturally give priority to the Zhetong Power Charging Station. After all, there is a greater chance that they will not have to wait in line.

In addition, new energy vehicles that support fast charging also give priority to Zhetong Electric Power. The charging piles equipped in Yuanda Electric Power's charging stations are old and cheap, and do not have fast charging functions.

Finally, Zhetong Electric Power’s charging stations are more user-friendly, and the locations are more suitable and convenient.

Each charging station under the Zhetong Power Group provides a row of covered reclining seats, free water and toilets.

This is exactly what the main online ride-hailing drivers of new energy vehicles want.

Here, they can choose to take a nap on the recliner during the half hour or so of charging. Now they don’t have to curl up their legs and can relax completely.

In addition, drinking water and going to the toilet are all available here. The Zhetong Electric Charging Station has even specially hired a site manager for this purpose.

These reasons have led new energy vehicle owners in the urban area of ​​Quanhe City to choose Zhetong Electric Power Charging Station as much as possible instead of the original charging piles of Yuanda Electric Power.

……

Liu Feng is one of them. He is a registered online car-hailing driver in Quanhe City.

The first half of his life could be said to be as ordinary as it could be. When he was in school, his academic performance was always neither high nor low. After the college entrance examination, he went to a bottom three university.

This made Liu Feng feel a little regretful when he occasionally thought about it, after all, the tuition fees for a third-tier university were not low.

If I had known this earlier, I would probably have chosen a better public college, not for anything else, just to save tens of thousands of dollars in tuition over four years of college.

After graduation, he worked outside, but he could hardly save any money from his monthly salary except for rent, utilities and fixed expenses.

After working in a big city for two years, he not only did not save a penny, but instead owed more than 10,000 yuan.

Every time he went back to his hometown during the Spring Festival, his peers who had not received any education could still drive back to the village, but he had nothing.

Working for a year is harder for others than for someone like him who works in an office, but at least they can earn some real money, and after working for a few years, they can drive home regardless of whether they pay with a loan or in full.

Liu Feng saw no future in this kind of life so he chose to go home.

……

Although his family lives in the village, they have some savings and a small house in the city left for him. Anyway, his parents are usually in the village, so Liu Feng can live freely and comfortably in the city alone.

After returning home, he thought about trying something new, but after failing the civil service exam, he finally thought about it and decided to just drive a ride-hailing car.

Anyway, new energy vehicles are quite cheap these days. My family gave me a few tens of thousands of yuan and I borrowed another 20,000 yuan from someone and bought one.

When Liu Feng is out on a normal day, he doesn't drive as hard as some of his middle-aged colleagues who are under a lot of pressure. He also works from nine to seven and parks his car and goes home at the appointed time.

If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. There is no pressure anyway.

This kind of life made Liu Feng realize himself clearly. This is the best way of life for most ordinary people like him.

Achievement? He knew he couldn't achieve anything.

Working hard? I have worked overtime all night in a big city, but all I got in return was a tired body and a thank you for your hard work from my boss.

Of course, there is also the new car that the boss bought at the end of the year...

It would be better to be like this now, earning enough money to live freely in this small town.

In the evening, I can occasionally make an appointment with friends to go out and play football, have some barbecue and drink some beer, which is really comfortable.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng felt that his decision to go home was worth it. Not to mention the distance, the difference in front of him was huge. In a small town, twenty or thirty yuan was enough for a large plate of barbecue with both meat and vegetables.

It was different in the mountain city where I used to work. I really don’t understand why the barbecue there was so expensive.

The skewers of meat are really big enough to fill your teeth, but he still sells them for 18 yuan a bunch.

After saying this, Liu Feng drank a large glass of beer, then picked up the skewers on the table and talked to his friend across from him. "See? Just this skewer of meat, this big one can be made into at least three bunches in Shancheng, I really don't understand, why is it so expensive?"

"Well, it's normal for prices to be higher in big cities."

"It's normal to say that, but I just don't understand why it can't be cheaper when there are mostly poor workers like me in big cities~"

"Hey, you earn the money of poor people like us, otherwise how can the housing prices not fall? Rich people buy one house after another, and ordinary people like us should be happy to have a home. Come on, come on, we are back, let's not talk about this, let's drink~"

……

The next morning, Liu Feng slept until eight o'clock, got up to wash up, and then went downstairs to eat a bowl of tofu pudding for four yuan.

This person, if he knows himself, he will live comfortably.

After taking care of his stomach, Liu Feng looked at the time and saw that it was 8:50. He decided to go to work ten minutes earlier today.

Although driving here doesn't always have orders like in big cities, the business in the city is still good. By noon, Liu Feng had earned more than 70 yuan.

After deducting the forty or fifty yuan electricity bill, if I don’t go out tonight, I’ll have enough for a day’s living expenses. If I go out for a run in the afternoon, it will be pure profit.

He closed the order-taking system, then opened the car window, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

This place is a bit far from home, and I’m too lazy to run back, so I just find a charging station to charge my phone, have a meal, and then continue working in the afternoon.

As usual, Liu Feng planned to go to the charging piles on the pedestrian street, where there are fewer people and more charging piles, so he might not have to queue.

However, after driving a few hundred meters forward, Liu Feng noticed that there seemed to be a charging station on the side of the road that had not been there before. Was it newly opened?
Without thinking, Liu Feng threw away the cigarette butt and turned the steering wheel and drove in.

If for no other reason, then there are still empty charging stations visible from the outside.

……

However, after driving in, Liu Feng discovered that this was indeed the charging station of the Xinlai Electric Power Company, and the words and logo of Zhetong Electric Power were written on the charging piles inside.

I haven't heard of it, but Liu Feng plans to give it a try. If the electricity price is higher than Yuanda Electric Power, he will just drive out.

After taking a look at the electricity price, which was the same as before, Liu Feng did not hesitate and directly chose to scan the code to charge.

There are many cars charging around, but what is different from usual is that there is no one in the cars now.

Most of these cars were the brands that online ride-hailing drivers would buy. Liu Feng was puzzled as to why they didn't just stay in the cars and lie down for a while.

After all, in the past, when people went to charge their cars, they would get out of the car, walk around for a while, and then lie down in the car, whether to check their phones or take a nap.

……

After making sure the connection was charging, Liu Feng closed the car door and planned to go outside to buy some food and then come back.

But after he walked a few steps forward, he discovered that there was no one in the car, it turned out that everyone was here.

There is actually a "driver's station" inside the charging station. Under the awning are rows of lounge chairs. Isn't it more comfortable to lie on them than in the car?
There is also a toilet next to it, which provides free hot water.

This scene also surprised Liu Feng a little. As an online car-hailing driver, he knew too well what was required to do their job.

Isn’t this the kind of charging station we need?
Having a toilet means people don’t have to worry about developing bladder problems, and there is also a place to get water for drinking hot tea.

The key is that you can take a break while charging. Although it is not indoors, it is better than nothing.

Zhetong Electric Power is a very conscientious and humane company.

After silently reciting this sentence, Liu Feng took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and then planned to send it to the online taxi driver group to let everyone know.

As a result, after I sent it out, I saw that someone in the group had already sent out a message saying that if they could choose Zhetong Electric Charging Station now, they would never choose Yuanda Electric.

If Liu Feng himself looked at it, he would think so too after this visit.

There are toilets, hot water and lounge chairs here, who would still go to Yuanda Electric?
……

In just three days, new energy online car-hailing and taxi drivers in Quanhe City have basically regarded the charging stations under Zhetong Electric Power as their exclusive charging points.

In addition, because there are enough charging piles and they support fast charging, even new energy vehicle owners who are not drivers will choose Zhetong Electric.

The few charging stations of Yuanda Electric Power in Quanhe used to require queuing to use, but now suddenly no one is using them.

When given a choice, everyone will use Zhetong Electric's charging piles.

When the news reached the ears of Yuanda Electric Power boss Cheng Jiawang, he decided that he must do something.

The collapse of Lincheng Electric Power is still fresh in our memory. We cannot let the people from Zhetong Electric Power find a breakthrough.
