【Highlights of today】
The mainland has been promoting new energy vehicles to the countryside, and local governments have joined hands with industry enterprises to carry out several rounds of new energy vehicles going to the countryside. Last year, the mainland implemented a round of new energy vehicles to the countryside, which made positive progress, and also let the industry generally see the broad market prospects of new energy vehicles in rural areas. According to the latest statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, a total of 1.068 million new energy vehicles will be sold in the countryside in 2021, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year, about 10 percentage points higher than the overall market growth rate, and the contribution rate is close to 30%. This fully shows that new energy vehicles have great potential in the countryside. However, the current use of new energy vehicles in rural areas still faces many inconveniences, such as insufficient infrastructure such as charging piles, which restricts the further promotion and popularization of new energy vehicles. Therefore, when new energy vehicles go to the countryside, the "pile" must go first. In order to avoid the embarrassment of "someone builds and no one cares", it is necessary to introduce relevant policies and measures to encourage industry enterprises to further sink the service network to the rural grassroots, and to dispel the concerns of rural residents about buying new energy vehicles by continuously optimizing and improving the experience of using cars and charging. Only when all parties work together can we truly help new energy vehicles to travel freely in the vast world of rural areas.
