Core Viewpoint - The charging rules for shared power banks in Beijing have shifted from fixed time intervals (30 or 60 minutes) to a per-minute billing system, leading to increased costs for consumers despite the intention of more precise billing [1][4][5]. Pricing Changes - Many shared power bank brands, including Meituan, have adjusted their pricing to a per-minute basis, with common rates around 0.08 to 0.12 yuan per minute [4][5]. - For example, a power bank that previously cost 3 yuan for 30 minutes now costs 7.2 yuan for an hour under the new pricing structure, representing a significant increase [4][5]. - Specific instances show that the cost for using a power bank for one hour has risen from 4 yuan to 6 yuan, marking a 50% increase [4]. Consumer Experience - Consumers have reported that while the new per-minute billing may seem cheaper for short usage, it can lead to higher costs for longer usage times compared to the previous fixed-rate system [5][6]. - A case study indicated that using a power bank for 26 minutes now costs more than the previous flat rate for 30 minutes, highlighting the potential for increased expenses [6]. Market Variability - There is a lack of consistency in pricing even within the same brand, as different locations may charge different rates for the same service, leading to confusion among consumers [7]. - For instance, within a short distance, three different locations of the same brand charged 7.2 yuan, 6 yuan, and 4.8 yuan for similar services, indicating a chaotic pricing environment [7]. Industry Response - The shift to per-minute billing is aimed at meeting diverse consumer needs, but the industry faces challenges in standardizing pricing and ensuring transparency [7].

Core Viewpoint - The charging rules for shared power banks in Beijing have shifted from a fixed time billing system (every 30 or 60 minutes) to a per-minute billing system, leading to increased costs for consumers despite the intention of more precise billing [1][2][4]. Pricing Changes - The new per-minute billing rates have resulted in higher costs for consumers. For example, a user who rented a power bank for 120 minutes paid 6 yuan under the new system, compared to 5 yuan for 148 minutes under the previous system [2][4]. - The average cost per minute has increased, with many locations charging between 0.08 yuan and 0.12 yuan per minute. This has led to significant price hikes, such as a 50% increase in hourly rates at some locations [4][5]. Consumer Experience - Consumers have reported confusion and dissatisfaction with the new pricing structure, as the cost can exceed previous rates if usage slightly surpasses the new billing thresholds [6][7]. - The inconsistency in pricing across different locations, even within the same brand, has created a chaotic environment for consumers, making it difficult to compare prices effectively [7][8]. Industry Response - The shift to per-minute billing is aimed at meeting diverse consumer needs, but it has also led to hidden price increases at many points [5][7]. - Some brands have maintained their previous pricing structures, indicating that not all companies are following the trend of increasing prices under the new billing system [6].

Group 2: Industry Response and Implementation - Eight companies, including Monster, Meituan, and Street Electric, which cover 95% of operational points in Beijing, have signed the convention and committed to improving services through technology upgrades and staff training [4]. - Meituan's representative stated that after signing the convention, the first 5 minutes of use will be free, with subsequent charges ranging from 0.05 to 0.12 yuan per minute, and a daily cap typically between 30 to 40 yuan [4]. Group 3: Consumer Feedback and Industry Challenges - A survey indicated that nearly 60% of respondents found the charging practices of shared power banks unreasonable, with common issues including a lack of return points, full cabinets, and unclear return locations [1][2]. - Consumer rights advocates highlighted that current practices, such as charging for an entire hour if usage exceeds a minute, are unfair and infringe on consumer rights [2].
