In recent years, China's new energy vehicles have developed rapidly, and various regions have introduced corresponding support policies to promote the development and transformation of the local new energy vehicle industry. To say which province in China has the greatest support for the new energy automobile industry, then Xiao Lei believes that Hainan Province can win the first place without suspense.
Hainan is the first province in China to propose a global ban on the sale of fuel vehicles by 2030, and in recent years has introduced a number of policies to encourage the development of new energy vehicles. Under the guidance of such an aggressive policy, as of November 2021, the number of new energy vehicles in Hainan Province has exceeded 100,000, and the proportion of ownership ranks among the top in the country.
In addition to policy guidance, Hainan Province is also a pioneer in the infrastructure and cultural construction of new energy vehicles. In order to accelerate the construction of the "clean energy island", Hainan Province will build a "World New Energy Vehicle Experience Center" project with a total investment of about 4 billion yuan, which has officially started construction in Haikou on December 29, 2021, and the first opening area of the first phase of the project is expected to be put into operation in 2023.
Hainan's ambition to develop new energy vehicles
From the function and scale of this multi-billion-dollar world new energy vehicle experience center, we can glimpse hainan province's ambitions for the development of the new energy automobile industry. The project has a planned total area of 1657 acres, and plans to build 4 functional areas, 3 centers, 2 platforms and 1 community.
Among them, the functional area includes the new energy vehicle exhibition and sales area, the new energy vehicle experience track and ancillary facilities, the new energy vehicle testing and maintenance area, and the automobile culture and leisure tourism area. The center includes an automobile design and styling center, a new energy vehicle technology research and development center, and an automobile testing and evaluation center. The platform includes a public data platform for new energy vehicles and a public platform for charging services. The community is an international talent community.
In Xiao Lei's view, the reason why Hainan Province is developing a highly comprehensive new energy automobile industry project at this time is to seize the development opportunities of new energy vehicles, make full use of the policy advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port, and introduce world-renowned new energy automobile enterprises, automobile service enterprises and travel service enterprises.
Hainan Province not only wants to become a new energy automobile industry powerhouse like Anhui, it will build a new energy vehicle promotion base that integrates the functions of intelligent new energy vehicle new vehicle release, in-depth experience, automobile new retail and modeling design, test evaluation, and 5G-based intelligent networked vehicle testing and demonstration.
The development of new energy, Hainan occupies a geographical advantage
In Xiao Lei's view, the reason why Hainan Province is keen on the layout of new energy vehicles is mainly because it has a unique geographical advantage in this regard. Its geographical advantages in the field of new energy vehicles mainly include the following two aspects:
First, although Hainan Province is the second largest island in China, its geographical area is not large. In terms of road network, it is only about 300km by car from Haikou City, the northernmost city in Hainan, to Sanya City, the southernmost city, and even if it is a week around the island through the Hainan Ring Expressway, the whole journey is only 612km.
At present, the endurance of mainstream pure electric vehicles in China can generally reach 500-700km, and car companies such as Weilai and GAC Aean have launched an impact on the 1000km endurance mark. At present, the endurance of mainstream new energy vehicles has basically covered the itinerary of Hainan Province.
In fact, analyzing consumer demand for mileage through the geographical area of administrative regions is unreasonable in most parts of China. Taking XiaoLei as an example, Xiaolei is a Hunan person, so when buying a car, he will consider the inter-provincial travel needs of traveling more than 500km, in order to avoid charging halfway, so pure electric vehicles will not be within the choice range of Xiaolei for the time being.
However, there is no cross-sea bridge between Hainan Province and the mainland that can provide cars with traffic, so car users in Hainan rarely consider driving out of the island. The relatively closed road transportation network has become a hotbed for the development of Hainan's new energy automobile industry.
Second, Hainan Province is located in the tropics, and the local temperature is suitable for the development of new energy vehicles. In fact, not only the frozen northeasters like Hainan's pleasant tropical monsoon climate, but the tropics are also more suitable for the development of new energy vehicles that are afraid of cold.
With the substantial improvement of the endurance of new energy vehicles in recent years and the rapid coverage of energy replenishment networks, the endurance anxiety of new energy vehicle users at room temperature has been greatly reduced compared with the past. Ironically, today's new energy vehicles can only reduce the battery life anxiety of new energy vehicle users at room temperature.
From 2017 to 2021, a total of 34 pure electric vehicles have been tested, and the test results show that the endurance of pure electric vehicles has been significantly improved in the past 5 years, and the average endurance of pure electric vehicles tested this year has reached 568km.
However, in the past 5 years, the low temperature mileage reduction rate of pure electric vehicles in the -7 °C environment is still more than 35%. It can be seen that compared with the endurance at room temperature, low temperature endurance is the number one enemy restricting the development of new energy vehicles, and this problem has not yet been completely solved by a technical solution.
In terms of temperature, the minimum temperature in Harbin today is only -21 ° C, and the endurance of a pure electric vehicle is quite excellent if it is only 50% off. Also in winter, the lowest temperatures in Haikou, Hainan Province, on the southern tip of China, reached 17°C. Obviously, compared with the northern region of China, the average annual temperature is 22 °C-26 °C, and Hainan Province, known as the "Hawaii of the East", is more suitable for the development of new energy vehicles that are naturally afraid of cold.
China's Confucian sage Mencius once had an old saying that says that there are three major elements of the road to success, which are heaven and time, geographical advantages, and people. Compared with other regions in China, Hainan Province takes advantage of the development of new energy vehicles to lay out the new energy automobile industry, which can be described as taking advantage of the two major advantages of time and place. However, Tianshi is fair to every country and region, and the geographical advantage is not enough to achieve things, so how does Hainan Province create people and people?
Hainan uses policy to dominate people and
As early as March 2019, Hainan Province issued the "Hainan Provincial Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Development Plan"), becoming the first region in the country to propose clean energy targets and roadmaps for vehicles in all segments, and took the lead in proposing the goal of "banning the sale of fuel vehicles" in 2030.
In order to implement the "Development Plan", the General Office of the People's Government of Hainan Province issued the "2021 Action Plan for the Promotion of Clean Energy Vehicles in Hainan Province" in March last year, in which the province plans to promote 25,000 new energy vehicles in 2021, and the proportion of new energy vehicles in the province should exceed 5%.
From the current point of view, the Hainan Provincial People's Government still underestimates the acceptance of new energy vehicles by Hainan consumers. According to the data, as of January to November last year, the number of new energy vehicles added in Hainan Province has reached 50,712, and 7,115 new energy vehicles have completed the listing in November alone, far exceeding the target set by the Hainan Provincial People's Government at the beginning of last year.
In Xiao Lei's view, the acceptance of new energy vehicles by Hainan consumers is inseparable from the rich and extensive infrastructure layout of new energy vehicles in Hainan Province.
According to the data of the Hainan Charging Infrastructure Information Management Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "Provincial Platform"), as of the end of November last year, the provincial platform had connected 69 charging facility operators, laid out as many as 1295 charging stations and 14320 charging guns, and built a total power of about 640,900 kilowatts. From January to November last year alone, Hainan Province added 24 operators, 409 charging stations, 4509 charging piles, and 4891 charging guns, with a total construction power of about 247,700 kilowatts.
Whether it is from the number of charging station operators, charging stations, or the total power of construction, it can be seen that the new energy supplement network last year alone has occupied about 1/3 of the entire energy supply network in Hainan Province. Xiao Lei believes that it is precisely such a rapidly developing energy replenishment network that has worried Hainan consumers who buy new energy vehicles.
In fact, the layout of new energy vehicle infrastructure facilities and the ownership of new energy vehicles have a coexistence relationship. If there is a charging pile layout in the air and no new energy vehicle ownership to support it, then the utilization rate of charging piles will become very low, which will directly affect the enthusiasm of operators to continue to invest in the construction of energy supplementary networks. On the contrary, if there is no perfect energy supplement network as infrastructure support, then new energy vehicles will cover the market in a wide range.
Nowadays, Hainan's energy replenishment network and new energy vehicle sales have shown a scene of rapid development, and this virtuous cycle will enhance the confidence of consumers and layoutrs at the same time, which is for "people", which will further accelerate the speed of the popularization of new energy vehicles in Hainan.
summary
For becoming a major province of new energy vehicles, Hainan Province, which already has "time", "geographical advantages", "people", and is determined to ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2030 in 2019, is obviously determined to win. However, the advantages of hainan province in developing new energy vehicles mainly come from the "geographical advantage", and the "greenhouse" of the geographical advantage is not all harmless.
As we all know, the word "greenhouse flower" has never been a positive word, and the Hainan new energy automobile industry that has grown up in the greenhouse environment for a long time will also be limited to the greenhouse. It should be known that the reason why Hainan's new energy vehicle users do not have endurance anxiety is because most of Hainan's new energy vehicles cannot open Hainan Province. Once Hainan's new energy automobile industry has become overly dependent on the "greenhouse" of Hainan Island and lacks adaptability to the market outside the island, then they will be unable to move forward after leaving Hainan Island.
