"We expect that China's new energy vehicle sales will reach 5 million to 6 million in 2022. Now that it does grow fiercely, China New Energy Vehicle is leading." Zhu Huarong said.

Although the momentum is fierce, there are a lot of challenges. Zhu Huarong believes, "Looking at the moment, it is mainly concentrated in three aspects."

First, the shortage and cost of raw materials rose rapidly. "I also call on all sectors of society to pay attention to this, because it involves the security of the new energy industry of the entire country." He said that the current price rising will adversely affect the sustainable development of the industry.

The second is that the core technology of power batteries needs to be broken. "We need to shift from the original structural innovation to the innovation of material innovation, concentrate their strength to break the next -generation battery technology, and solve the user's endurance anxiety and safety anxiety."

Third, the infrastructure of replenishment needs to be continuously improved. "Although the charging and replacement facilities are rapidly increasing, its growth rate is still behind the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Mileage anxiety is still the core element of restricting consumers to buy new energy vehicles.

He hopes that the next step will be able to join hands with China's new energy vehicle industry chain partners to start from these three aspects, break through the current development bottleneck, and jointly create a new era of China's new energy vehicle industry.
