China's electric vehicle green travel is expected to achieve "corner overtaking" in the world.

On December 27, the surging news reporter learned from the 2017 electric Vehicle Green Travel Conference held in Shanghai that in the first half of 2017 (January-June), the national production and sales of new energy vehicles completed 212,000 and 195,000, respectively, an increase of 19.7% and 14.4% year-on-year.

In particular, energy-saving and environmentally friendly pure electric vehicles, a total of 175,000 units were produced in half a year, and sales reached 160,000 units, an increase of 30.4% and 26.2% respectively. It is expected that by 2020, the number of electric vehicles in the country will exceed 5 million.

What do these figures mean on a global scale?

Liu Huibin, secretary-general of the parking Equipment branch of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, revealed at the conference that the number of new energy vehicles in China has now accounted for about 50% of the global market, ranking firmly in the world's largest new energy vehicle market. It is expected that in 2017, China's new energy vehicle production and sales will increase by more than 50% year-on-year, and the growth rate will continue to increase in 2018. Liu Yufeng, vice president of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, believes that in the field of new energy vehicles, countries in the world are at the same starting line, which provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for China to achieve "corner overtaking".

Ji Guoping, former deputy director of the Electronics Department of the Ministry of Industry and the chairman of the China Power Industry Association, is also optimistic about the prospects of electric vehicles.

He said that by 2020, the total number of cars in China is expected to reach 280 million, bringing energy consumption and environmental pollution will become more and more serious, the development of new energy vehicles is an inevitable trend, but also the only way for China from an automobile country to an automobile power, to improve the country's comprehensive competitive strength, to solve energy shortages, environmental pollution, climate warming are of great significance.

Ji Guoping believes that the advantages of China's development of new energy vehicles are mainly reflected in the large population, a huge automobile market and broad space for development; The eastern region has a first-mover advantage, with ample funds for R&D and low cost of technology transformation. Moreover, in terms of the development of lithium batteries needed for electric vehicles, China also has a resource advantage - China's lithium resources account for more than 30% of the world, and there is no need to import.

However, he also said that the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in China is also facing unfavorable factors such as low consumer awareness, fewer charging outlets, higher prices than fuel vehicles, and lack of relevant energy policy support for long-term stability and development.

Surging news reporters learned from the meeting that since 2016, the first year of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the state has introduced a total of 30 relevant policies in the field of new energy vehicles, mainly from the power battery, charging infrastructure, financial subsidies and other aspects to further standardize the new energy vehicle industry standards, and promote the construction of new energy vehicle infrastructure.

At present, China's electric vehicles have entered a period of rapid promotion and application. At the same time, the disorderly development of shared cars, the lack of parking Spaces, the serious shortage of charging facilities and the rapid growth of electric vehicles have also been further aggravated.

Electric vehicles, time-sharing rental, smart parking, and smart charging after a round of horse racing, how to achieve profit has become the main problem at present. After experiencing various subsidy fraud, parking difficulties, charging difficulties and other problems, how to regain the trust and favor of the consumer market is also a problem that industry participants have to face.

Therefore, the participants believe that accelerating the planning and construction of electric vehicle green travel has become a very important and urgent task. How to layout the new energy electric vehicle industry, find a profit-sharing model for electric vehicles, improve the safe use of charging infrastructure standards, relieve parking difficulties, reduce the social and economic costs of green travel, and explore new cooperation and operation models are issues that industry participants should pay attention to.
