There are many functions that can be installed on smart street lights based on application scenarios, such as new energy charging stations, video monitoring, environmental monitoring, LED displays, 5G micro base stations, etc. These are all urban service application modules for smart street lights.
With the promotion and increasing popularity of new energy vehicles in cities, the market demand for new energy charging piles is also significantly increasing. Relevant data predicts that the corresponding charging equipment market space is about 280 billion yuan, and the charging and service market is about 40 billion yuan. It can be imagined that in the future, new energy is expected to become the mainstream of urban transportation.
In November 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Development Plan for the New Energy Vehicle Industry (2021-2035)", laying a solid foundation for the development of the new energy vehicle industry in the next 15 years. At the same time, local governments have also introduced relevant policy documents to encourage the consumption of new energy vehicles and promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
Recently, according to the 2020 China New Energy Vehicle Industry Research Report released by iResearch Consulting, the new energy vehicle industry has risen to the height of China's national development strategy and become an irreversible development direction. The number of new energy vehicles in China continues to rise, and according to the national development vision, the sales of new energy vehicles in China are expected to exceed 5 million by 2025; It is expected that by 2035, China's automobile industry may basically achieve electrification transformation.
However, the development of this new energy electric vehicle is not coordinated with China's automotive charging infrastructure. The problem faced is the lack of charging parking spaces, which has caused certain difficulties for new energy vehicle owners. In fact, the convenience of charging to a certain extent determines the driving experience of new energy vehicles, limiting the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
In suitable application scenarios, smart streetlights can be equipped with charging stations, which eliminates the need to occupy new public resources to build charging stations, reduces the cost of laying pipelines, and greatly reduces the overall construction cost. It can effectively solve the bottleneck problem of the popularization of urban public charging stations caused by limited land resources, shortage of parking spaces, and high investment costs.
Through smart streetlights, new energy vehicle charging stations, and intelligent license plate recognition system, new energy vehicle owners can book charging station parking spaces online on their mobile app, scan the code, and activate charging mode and electricity payment. During the charging period, the smart streetlights are equipped with wireless WiFi and 5G base stations, and car owners can also experience 5G high-speed internet access while resting in the car. In addition, if encountering charging or other difficulties, car owners can also use the integrated video and voice interaction system of smart street lights and the charging station monitoring center to achieve online visual and voice connectivity and answer questions online.
In addition to new energy vehicle charging stations, mobile phone charging stations and electric vehicle charging stations are also practical smart street light energy business applications, but the premise is to choose their functional combinations based on actual application scenarios.
