Economic Daily article: The relationship between the price increase of charging and "using oil for electricity generation" is not significant.

"Before, it used to cost around 50 yuan to charge once, but today it unexpectedly cost over 80 yuan!" Recently, many new energy vehicle owners have been complaining about the increase in charging prices. Especially during peak hours in core commercial areas and expressway service areas, the price increase is even more noticeable. Some people even claimed online that the increase in charging station fees is due to "using oil for electricity generation." Due to the US-Iran conflict, international oil prices have been rising, leading to an increase in domestic fuel prices, which inevitably pushes up electricity prices. An article in the Economic Daily pointed out that while this logic seems plausible, it does not align with reality. Currently, in China, there is essentially no "massive use of oil for electricity generation." Data provided by the National Energy Administration shows that China's electricity structure is mainly based on coal, hydroelectric, wind, and solar power, with a very low proportion of oil-fired power generation, which is only used for emergency backup in remote areas and has almost no impact on national electricity prices. The idea that "using oil for electricity generation increases charging costs" is a misinterpretation of China's energy structure.
