Thanks to the rapid development of China's automobile industry, today's automobiles are no longer the "luxury goods" that rich people can afford in the 90s, but have become a travel tool that every household can have, and driving has become the most satisfactory way for most people to travel.
Moreover, the development of the automobile industry has been developed so far, there have been new changes, in addition to fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have also appeared in the market. Compared with fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have many advantages, such as the cost of driving without refueling is greatly reduced, and no car exhaust can also play an environmentally friendly role.
As a result, the new energy automobile industry has also begun to break out in China.
Car sales continue to rise in 2021
Official data show that as of the end of the third quarter of 2021, the number of fuel and new energy vehicles in China was 297 million and 6.78 million, respectively, and both showed year-on-year growth. The growth of the two means that the sales of motor vehicles have risen.
From the data point of view, in the first 11 months of 2021, the wholesale sales of passenger cars in the narrow sense in China reached 18.728 million units, an increase of 7.2% year-on-year; while the sales of new energy passenger cars also reached 2.514 million units, an increase of 178.3% year-on-year. It can also be seen that the growth momentum of new energy vehicles is now.
Just on December 31, 2021, the China Automobile Association released a message that it is expected that in 2021, China's automobile sales can reach 25.8 million. Previously, the China Automobile Association also said that in 2021, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China may also reach 3.4 million.
It is no wonder that in the industry, 2021 is called the "first year of the outbreak" of new energy vehicles, and the large increase in sales means that new energy vehicles are more and more favored by people. Official data also show that the number of new energy vehicles in China may exceed 8 million by the end of 2021.
The popularization of new energy is imperative
Although from the perspective of ownership, new energy vehicles are still far inferior to fuel vehicles, accounting for only 2.28% of car ownership. However, from the perspective of development momentum, the full popularization of new energy vehicles in the future is absolutely imperative.
Lin Cheng, chief scientist of the National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles at Beijing Institute of Technology, said in an interview that new energy has been recognized by the general public, and whether it is a private car or other car, new energy vehicles have achieved full industrialization, with the gradual reduction of costs, as well as the support of national policies, the development of new energy vehicles will be better and better.
The report of the E-Car Research Institute shows that in 2020, the purchase intention of New Energy Vehicles in China has approached 50%. In other words, this means that almost half of car buyers have the intention of buying new energy vehicles. In the case of this continuous increase in purchase intentions, it is expected that in the next four or five years, the annual sales volume of new energy vehicles in China may even reach more than 10 million.
It is worth mentioning that nowadays, not only China, the world is preparing for the popularization of new energy, many countries have announced the timetable for banning the sale of fuel vehicles, including China's Hainan Province, more car companies have increased the layout of new energy, and will also stop selling fuel vehicles in the future. Therefore, in the future automotive market, new energy vehicles are the trend.
So, if we directly cancel the fuel vehicles and implement new energy vehicles in the country now, what will be the result?
What happens once the fuel vehicle is canceled?
Although the development of new energy vehicles is good, if it is directly "one size fits all" at the moment, the whole country can only open new energy vehicles, there will still be many problems that are difficult to solve.
First of all, the supporting facilities can not keep up. According to the intelligent research consulting report, the number of charging piles for new energy vehicles in China in 2021 is only 1.962 million units, and it does not even reach the level of the existing new energy vehicles in China.
Especially if you want to run a long distance, the Ministry of Transport data, as of the end of September 2021, China's service area equipped with charging piles is only 2318, calculated, the average service area can only charge 4.6 vehicles at the same time, which is definitely far from enough.
Secondly, without fuel vehicles, the demand for oil is greatly reduced, but the country's electricity consumption will inevitably "soar", can power production capacity keep up? How to solve the surge in carbon emissions caused by thermal power generation?
Finally, the battery life of new energy vehicles is limited, at present, China's power battery recycling system has not been fully completed, and the use of a large number of new energy vehicles will inevitably bring a large number of power batteries to retirement, whether it can be properly handled is a major trouble.
It can be seen that the current existence of fuel vehicles is still very important, and new energy vehicles must not be fully popularized at this moment. Of course, it can also be seen from here that if China's new energy vehicles want to be fully popularized, these problems also need to be solved. However, I believe that under the development of science and technology and industry, full popularization is also in the near future.
Do you prefer fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles? Do you support the abolition of fuel vehicles and the full implementation of new energy vehicles? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
