Abstract

With the rise of electric bicycles as a sustainable mode of urban transportation, the demand for convenient charging solutions has become increasingly critical. This paper takes Shunyi District of Beijing as an example, comprehensively investigates the current status of the utilization and management of electric bicycle centralized charging facilities in residential areas, discusses the existing problems in the construction and management of charging facilities, and proposes targeted improvement suggestions. The findings indicate that while unauthorized external wiring has been reduced, indoor battery charging persists, highlighting safety concerns. Residents express dissatisfaction with the quantity and distribution of charging facilities, pointing to the need for improved infrastructure and management. To enhance charging safety and resident satisfaction, the paper highlight the importance of strong top-level design and swift action by governments to meet residents’ charging needs, thus preventing unauthorized charging practices. We delve into the necessity of multi-stakeholder cooperation, including local governments, property management, utility providers, and residents, in the construction and operational phases of charging facilities. Safety issues, particularly fire hazards associated with improper charging practices, are addressed through the lens of smart technology solutions and regulatory measures. Public awareness campaigns and the clear communication of guidelines are also discussed as crucial elements in cultivating a culture of safety and responsibility.
