Ministry of Science and Technology: Comprehensively consider the key core technologies of new energy vehicles such as charging technology

Nandu News Reporter Wu Xuan Intern Ling Jingming The current development of the automobile industry has entered a new era of electrification and intelligence, and the lack of supporting facilities for new energy vehicles is inhibiting people's enthusiasm for consumption, and the development speed is slightly slower than that of fuel vehicles, and there is still huge room for development. Zhang Hongwei, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Guangdong East Sunshine Technology Holdings Co., Ltd., submitted suggestions during the two sessions last year, suggesting that relevant support policies and measures be improved, unified laws and regulations should be formulated, the problem of charging difficulties should be solved systematically, relevant subsidies should be continued to be implemented, and a market environment with fair competition and unified standards should be built. In its reply, the Ministry of Science and Technology said that it will consider the key core technologies of new energy vehicles, including charging technology, and provide technical support for the construction of new energy vehicle charging infrastructure and the large-scale promotion and application of new energy vehicles in the mainland.

Status: It is difficult to charge new energy vehicles, and there is local protectionism

Zhang Hongwei pointed out in the proposal that there is a shortage of public charging piles and residential supporting charging piles. Data show that the penetration rate of basic charging facilities related to new energy vehicles in China is still less than 40%. The growth of the "supply" of charging facilities is obviously lagging behind the pace of consumption growth of new energy vehicles. This situation not only inhibits the release of some new energy vehicle consumption, but also becomes a new livelihood problem to a large extent.

In addition, Zhang Hongwei said that after some car owners bought new energy vehicles, it is difficult to install private charging piles in the community, because it is impossible to install charging devices for new energy vehicles without buying a parking space, which has become a relatively common phenomenon today. This directly increases the consumption cost of new energy vehicles, and in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, parking spaces are extremely tight, and they usually encounter a difficult situation. Such a realistic embarrassment has become a very prominent factor restricting the development of new energy vehicles.

Not only that, Zhang Hongwei also mentioned that there is local protectionism in the current development of new energy vehicles. For example, there is an "invisible threshold" for the local protection of new energy vehicles, and non-technical indicators outside the scope of national policies are formulated to clearly favor local enterprises, or technical indicators that are higher than national policy standards are used to exclude foreign enterprises.

Recommendation: Systematically solve the charging problem, improve policies and regulations to maintain the market environment

Zhang Hongwei suggested that the problem of charging difficulties in the use of new energy vehicles should be systematically solved. Enrich the support methods of charging infrastructure, establish a support policy system covering different links such as charging infrastructure technology research and development, construction subsidies, operation subsidies, land use, and different use scenarios such as private charging and public charging, and mobilize the enthusiasm of social capital to participate in the construction and operation of charging infrastructure. Establish a unified technical index for car batteries, and gradually implement battery replacement instead of charging and recycling.

In addition, we will improve the support policies and measures that break through the key core technologies of automobiles and parts. It is recommended that the relevant ministries and commissions of the state organize key domestic automobile and parts enterprises and supporting industries to carry out scientific and technological research, formulate specific implementation measures, and provide support in fiscal and taxation.

At the same time, it is recommended that local government departments formulate policies and measures to promote the innovative development of intelligent vehicles in combination with actual conditions. For example, carry out large-scale and comprehensive application pilot work of city-level intelligent vehicles, and explore support policies for intelligent car travel services in closed areas of key cities.

Zhang Hongwei also proposed that the relevant ministries and commissions of the state formulate unified policies and regulatory standards for the fiscal, taxation, and financial policies and regulatory standards involved in the six main tasks. For example, it formulates fiscal and taxation financial support policies that break through the investment in research and development of key basic technologies, promotes the civilian transformation of military technology, builds a systematic and perfect intelligent vehicle regulatory standard system, and researches and formulates safety audit and management measures for smart vehicle-related products.

In response to local protectionism, Zhang Hongwei pointed out that for the sake of the region's own interests, tailor-made subsidy policies for local enterprises not only limit the research and development vitality of car companies, lead to the phenomenon of bad currency expelling good money, but also deviate from the determination and original intention of the country to develop new energy vehicles. Therefore, it is recommended to build a market environment with fair competition and unified standards, and straighten out the development environment of the entire new energy vehicle ecological chain.

Continue to implement subsidies related to new energy vehicles

Zhang Hongwei also suggested that fiscal and taxation policies to encourage the development of new energy vehicles should continue to be implemented. Continue to exempt the purchase of new energy vehicles from vehicle purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax, and enjoy preferential purchase tax exemption policies for the purchase of non-plug-in hybrid vehicles.

In addition, formulate and implement policies for the promotion and application of fuel cell vehicles. Solve the problem of industrialization and commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and accelerate the research and development and industrialization of key technologies for fuel vehicles.

At the same time, we will continue to encourage the urban and rural public transport industry, the express logistics field, and the taxi and online ride-hailing industries to accelerate the promotion and use of new energy vehicles.

Ministry of Science and Technology: Focus on key core technologies

The Ministry of Science and Technology responded to this recommendation. The reply said that it will continue to strengthen support for the research and development of new energy vehicles, further focus on key core technology research, encourage independent brand car companies to strengthen the main role of innovation of enterprises, establish an effective industry-university-research cooperation mechanism, accelerate the enhancement of core competitiveness, and work with relevant departments to promote the transformation and upgrading of the mainland automobile industry to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of the mainland automobile industry.

Regarding the breakthrough of key core technologies of automobiles and parts, the reply proposes that it will continue to adhere to the development strategy of "pure electric drive", focus on the key links, key areas and key product layout innovation chains of the supply chain of the new energy automobile industry chain, and consolidate the basic research and development capabilities from six aspects, such as energy power, electric drive system, intelligent driving, vehicle network integration, support technology, vehicle platform, etc., to break through the core bottleneck technology of the industrial chain, enhance the level of technological innovation and product market competitiveness, and cultivate a number of vehicle manufacturing, core key components, etc. An innovative international leader in the field of charging and replacing new infrastructure.

Regarding the systematic solution of the problem of charging difficulties in the use of new energy vehicles, the reply mentioned that the key core technologies of new energy vehicles, including charging technology, will be considered as a whole, focusing on the key technologies of vehicle pile cloud interconnection, charging facility planning methods and orderly charging management technologies, high-power wireless charging key technologies, power battery rapid replacement key technologies and other key technologies and equipment for efficient collaborative charging and replacement. Provide technical support for the construction of new energy vehicle charging infrastructure and the large-scale promotion and application of new energy vehicles in mainland China.
