(Central News Agency reporter Yang Sirui, Tainan, June 4) The Tainan City Government is promoting its 'EV Charging Station in Every District' project. It has secured funding from the Ministry of Environment to install a total of 202 electric vehicle charging piles. The 8th batch of 40 charging spaces will be activated tomorrow (June 5), distributed across 12 administrative districts. The city government will work with the contracted operator to encourage public usage.
Wang Ming-de, Director of the Tainan City Government's Transportation Bureau, told CNA that the bureau, in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Bureau, secured NT$250 million from the Ministry of Environment. This funding is for installing fast and slow charging spaces at 202 sites across all 37 districts. All sites are now complete, and they are being activated in batches after Taiwan Power Company's Tainan and Xinying district offices complete the power supply connections.
Director Wang stated that the 8th batch of charging stations is located in 19 sites across 12 administrative districts, comprising 8 fast-charging and 32 slow-charging spaces, which will officially go online tomorrow. Among these, only the Shanshang District Office site is designated as a 'Charging Priority Space,' while the other 18 sites are all 'Charging-Only Spaces.' Drivers should pay attention to on-site signage. Occupying a charging-only parking space can result in a fine of NT$1,200 upon reporting.
According to data from the Tainan City Transportation Bureau, the project's operating team adjusted the charging service fee from a single rate to a peak/off-peak rate starting June 1. For users activating charging via the 'Dian Xiao Er' app, the fast-charging peak rate (weekdays 4 PM to 10 PM) is NT$11 per kWh, and the off-peak rate is NT$8 per kWh. The slow-charging peak rate is NT$9 per kWh, and the off-peak rate is NT$7 per kWh.
Furthermore, information on charging facilities in all parking areas in Tainan City is now integrated and published on the Transportation Bureau's official website and the 'Tainan Good Parking' app, making it convenient for the public to find locations. (Editor: Long Bo'an) 1150604
