New Energy Vehicles "Run on the Road" in 2012

Beginning in December of last year, Wang Binggang, a special expert in major science and technology projects for electric vehicles of the 863 Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, opened the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid car. His parking space has been installed with a 220V, 16A AC charging post, which is very convenient for charging.

According to him, every time he returns to the garage, he plugs in the charging connector and lets the car charge itself. Over two months of rough statistics, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only a little more than 2 liters. Really a very fuel-efficient car, the family joked: "This car does not love to go."

Although it is still in the process of user testing, the dream of new energy vehicles flying into the homes of ordinary people is not far away. The "Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2011-2020)" aimed at accelerating the popularization of new energy vehicle market is under intense revision; at the same time, the four departments including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are uniting new energy sources across the country. Demonstration of the results of vehicle demonstration operations ... ... A number of interviewees said that 2012 is a key year for China to promote the development of new energy vehicles. As for the “left-luggage” traditional energy-saving car and the “Chinese car market” with “right-right” new energy vehicles, it will see a lot in 2012.

Demonstration in-depth promotion To talk about the market situation of new energy vehicles, we must first look at the city's response to 25 demonstration operations. Since 2010, new energy vehicles have begun demonstration operations in 25 cities in China. At present, what is the implementation effect of these cities? The “experiment” conducted in these cities will provide an important reference for the development of new energy vehicles in China.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2011, the application of energy-saving and new energy vehicles such as hybrid energy vehicles and pure electric vehicles in the public service areas such as energy-saving and new energy vehicles demonstration and promotion and private-use subsidies for new energy vehicles subsidies continued to advance. As of the end of 2011, a total of 361 models of 75 automobile manufacturers were included in the Catalogue of Recommended Models for Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicles for Demonstration, Promotion and Application. In 2011, a total of 12,784 vehicles were included in the list of recommendations, an increase of 74.3% year-on-year, including 5,722 commercial vehicle production and 7,062 passenger car production.

Since last year, the sales of new energy vehicles have been included in the monthly statistics of the China Automobile Association for the first time. In 2011, a total of 8,368 vehicles and 8159 new energy vehicles were produced and sold in China, a significant increase from the same period last year. The association expects that in 2012, more and more new energy vehicles will be "run on the road."

According to Wang Chuanfu, Chairman of BYD, with the acceleration of the promotion of new energy vehicles since 2012, the scale of operation of new energy vehicles will increase rapidly, and 2012 and 2013 will become the key two years in the development history of new energy automotive industry. .

However, once in a while, the lack of support and technical standards were the biggest constraints in the development of China's new energy automotive industry. Today, these conditions have also changed. On the first day of work in the year of the Dragon, Beijing Electric Power Co., Ltd. released the news that currently the world's largest and most capable electric vehicle charging and switching station, the Gaoantun Charging Station, has completed internal acceptance and put into operation.

According to reports, the Gaoantun Charging and Switching Station can serve 8 electric vehicles at the same time, and the battery replacement time is 4 to 6 minutes each time. After completion, it will become a centralized transit station and power battery replacement center for electric sanitation vehicles in the eastern part of Beijing. Correspondingly, by the end of this year, the demonstration of Beijing New Energy Vehicles in the public sector will reach 5,000 vehicles.

According to statistics, as of the end of 2011, China has become the country with the largest number of operational charging stations and charging piles in the world. A total of 243 charging and switching stations have been built, and 13,283 AC charging stations have been built. In the cities of 30 provincial capitals and above, there are an average of 8 charging stations and 440 charging stations in each city.

At the same time, four national standards such as electric car charging interfaces and communication protocols were also introduced in the past year. It can be said that the conditions for the promotion of new energy vehicles are increasingly mature under the drive of policies, clearing most of the development barriers.

New energy vehicles will also become a new force in the Chinese automobile industry. A blueprint for the future is depicted as this: As the electric vehicle industry chain matures, the cost of electric vehicles gradually declines, and the performance gradually improves. Electric vehicles will gradually complete the replacement of traditional vehicles, a zero-carbon, zero-emission ecological environment. The system will also gradually form.

It is undeniable that competition has given birth to development. New energy vehicles are also the darling of the global automotive industry.

Whether it was at the Tokyo Motor Show at the end of last year or the Detroit Auto Show held in January this year, new energy vehicles have become the protagonists. The industry insiders participating in the Tokyo Motor Show are also surprised to find that Toyota's Prius hybrid car is everywhere in the streets of Japan. “The Japanese government has subsidized and given preferential treatment in terms of traffic and parking. More and more people have become fans of new energy vehicles.” The Japanese auto industry introduced this way.

According to a report on electric vehicles recently introduced by Germany, 2013 and 2015 are the peak period for German electric vehicles to reach the market. The US electric vehicle market is expected to reach around 20,000 this year, and it is expected to reach 100,000 units in 2012. From 2013 to 2015, European and American auto companies will achieve a qualitative leap in electric vehicles and their marketization.

“From 2013 to 2015, it will be the stage for foreign electric vehicle products to enter the market in a concentrated manner. The international situation will not wait for people. At present, the industrialization of electric vehicles in China is at a critical historical opportunity. The pressure of international competition is very high and the market demand is also very high. "Great." Recently, Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang pointed out to the media.

There is not much time left for China's new energy vehicles. In response, Fu Yuwu, executive vice president and secretary-general of the China Automobile Engineering Society, told reporters that the development of electric vehicles in China is currently in a critical historical period. “On the one hand, after two five-year plans and more than two years of demonstration and promotion. , China's electric vehicle industry has made exciting scientific and technological achievements, the development of electric vehicle industrialization began to gradually start; the other hand, the international electric vehicle industry began to accelerate significantly, the pace of R & D and industrialization of international automobile giant electric vehicle continues to accelerate, The pressure on international competition facing the independent innovation and independent development of China's electric vehicles has increased dramatically."

Competition will accelerate the development of China's new energy automotive industry. According to Ouyang Minggao, a professor at Tsinghua University, at present, China's electric vehicle companies have entered a stage of real productization or industrialization. The government has also stepped up efforts in policy support. China's electric vehicles are being developed into real industries. Transition.

Wan Gang clearly pointed out that in the new year, it is hoped that vehicle manufacturers, parts manufacturers, model cities, and experts and scholars will collaborate on innovation, improve system integration capabilities, and jointly create technological innovation chains and industrial chains to explore businesses suitable for the development of electric vehicles in China. At the same time, we will strengthen the construction of the standard system and win over the development of the Chinese auto industry.

Chen Jiachang, deputy director of the Department of High-tech Development and Industrialization of the Ministry of Science and Technology, also pointed out that this year and next year will be the key two years for the development of electric vehicles. At this critical time, we must establish core things through independent innovation and collaborative innovation. , Coordinate the demand and ability to provide consumers with a satisfactory car.

Liu Ling, technical director of CSR Times Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd., put forward specific suggestions that the subsidies for demonstration cities must continue. This is a necessary condition for China's electric vehicle industry to continue. In addition, he suggested that non-model cities should also be given tax relief, so that cities not included in the pilot area also enjoy certain preferential policies, thereby promoting the further expansion of the electric vehicle market.
