US media: China is making it realizes electrification as soon as possible

An article on June 29th, the US "Line" magazine website. Original title: China is achieving its future electrification several years ago. Around a village near the Thirteen Tombs, it seems that many simple electric vehicles suddenly emerged overnight. Charging pile. This village is located in the suburbs of Beijing and has a population of less than 900 people. There are almost no other facilities except fields, orchards and several rural restaurants. It does not look like the future of Chinese electric vehicles. But it is a vital part of its ambitious strategy in China.

China has set up the goal of 40%of domestic cars by 2030. At present, China's public charging piles have reached 810,000, of which more than 70%are located in densely populated coastal areas such as Guangdong and Shanghai. But this situation is changing. As a part of the government's comprehensive promotion of "rural revitalization", China is accelerating the "county coverage" of the charging station and the "hometown coverage" of the charging pile. This electrification project is also a key component of China's carbon neutralization before 2060.

As early as the 1990s, the Chinese government began to plan to build the domestic electric vehicle industry. At that time, China realized that it was impossible to catch up with the West in the innovation of internal combustion engines, but as far as the future industry of electric vehicles was concerned, China saw the opportunity to surpass Germany and Japan. Today, China not only produces most of the global electric vehicle batteries, but also has made rapid progress in the development and manufacturing of electric vehicles. According to predictions, the proportion of electric vehicles in Chinese passenger cars in 2030 will jump from 3%at the end of last year to 32%.

"Foreign brands have been most popular, but this is not the case for electric vehicles," said Iraya Mozco, a researcher at the US Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center. Essence At the same time, local governments are also providing many incentives. From almost no electric vehicle to this country, it has developed to half of the number of passenger electric vehicles in the world. This is even unexpected by Chinese decision -making agencies.

Back to the village near Shisanling, electric vehicles are becoming more and more common. In this place where you can drive to the Beijing Central Business District as long as you charge once, the boom of electric vehicles spreads rapidly. Places far from big cities, private companies, local governments and relevant departments are trying to further promote electric vehicles. "China is a big country." Tu Le, the founder of China Auto Insight, said, "Once 1.4 billion people start to march in the same direction, it will be difficult for other countries to catch up." Translation)
