Recently, international oil prices have been on a continuous upward trajectory, leading to multiple hikes in domestic refined oil product prices. Amidst this, a rumor has been circulating online, claiming that "the recent surge in charging costs for new energy vehicles is attributed to power generation from oil." According to CCTV News, the perceived increase in charging expenses among new energy vehicle owners primarily stems from the differing pricing mechanisms between public and home charging stations. Home charging stations benefit from residential electricity tariffs, which remain relatively stable over the long term. In contrast, fees at public charging stations are composed of industrial and commercial electricity rates plus service charges, which are subject to market supply and demand dynamics as well as policy reforms. Furthermore, many regions have shifted away from fixed peak-valley electricity pricing to market-oriented floating rates. Some vehicle owners, unaware of these new regulations, mistakenly interpret the higher electricity prices during peak hours as a general price increase. In truth, the share of oil-fired power generation in China's energy mix is exceedingly small, rendering it incapable of influencing national electricity prices.
