New Energy Vehicles Need Ten Years of "Run-in Period"

If counted from the “863 Plan” supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, China’s policy to support the development of new energy vehicles has gone through 10 years. Although leaps and bounds have been achieved in the past two years, new energy vehicles still have a far cry from the previously outlined landscape of green living, and they are still at the initial stage of industrialization.

According to the data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of July, the total number of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in the 25 pilot cities exceeded 10,000, of which private purchases of new energy vehicles exceeded 1,000. This seemingly good data is more supported by data on new energy buses and electric taxis in the bus sector, and it is very bleak in the private car market.

The reason for this is that the biggest bottleneck is the lack of core technologies. Although in the past two years, the government and enterprises have invested heavily in new energy vehicle technology, there are also many car companies that use a lot of money to buy foreign second-rate technologies or key components, and then assemble electric vehicles to apply for more. Government subsidies and policy support. Some companies are rushing to eat new energy vehicles "cake", in the beginning of the traditional fuel vehicle technology research and development is still in its infancy, the pure electric vehicle has launched several models, in fact, they have no real breakthrough in the core technology Even product lines have not been established.

In addition, consumer acceptance of new energy vehicles also influences the development prospects of new energy vehicles, which requires the development of a mature business model. It is also necessary for a traditional car to launch a new model to know if it has a market after a period of cultivation. What is the new energy car? Emerging things have a time cycle in the formation of the entire industry chain.

Therefore, for the development of new energy vehicles should be swiftly banned, the entire R & D, verification, production preparation, market cultivation, industrialization and promotion need a process, and our current R & D is still insufficient, product validation is not enough. Production companies should calm down and devote more energy to product research and development. They must first resolve the shortcomings of the core technology, and cannot rely on the introduction and joint venture solutions as traditional cars. Leap-forward development and "curve-overtaking" are all undesirable. . At the same time, it is necessary to continue to verify whether the product is mature through demonstration operations, and then promote industrialization and marketization. Because consumers also have cognitive processes, related preparations, and environmental construction all have time cycles, they should give strategic emerging industries a process of nurturing and growing.

It should be noted that although China has a gap between its core technology and foreign countries, we have the advantages of large market size, large incremental space, low cost, and abundant resources. After the "Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan" is issued, enterprises It is necessary to re-examine their future development and step by step toward real industrialization, which will take at least a decade.
