The momentum of the new energy automobile industry is strong

Core reading

This year's "Government Work Report" proposes to "continue to support the consumption of new energy vehicles" and "accelerate the formation of a green and low-carbon production lifestyle". Nowadays, the mainland new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of rapid development of scale and high quality, and some new problems have arisen. Improving supporting service facilities to make new energy vehicles more attractive requires all parties to strengthen collaboration.

When pollution reduction and carbon reduction and green travel become a new fashion, the advantages of new energy vehicles are self-evident. In recent years, from policy promotion to local practice, from industry layout to enterprise research and development, all parties have actively explored and promoted the new energy automobile industry to move towards high-quality development.

Ensure the safety of electricity

More and more charging piles are smoothly entering the community

On the evening of March 29, Xiu Libin, a resident of Jimei District in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, returned home from work and conveniently inserted a charging gun for the new energy vehicle in his parking space.

In July 2019, Xiu Libin bought a new energy vehicle, and he found a residential property and wanted to install charging piles on his parking space. "No, you can't fit it." Without thinking, the property company refused, "The community was built in 2010, there is no reserved power supply capacity of the charging pile, and we cannot guarantee safety." To this end, Xiu Libin made a lot of phone calls and found relevant departments, but he still had no idea.

"Mr. Xiu's experience is not an isolated case, in 2020 alone, Xiamen received more than 300 cases of new energy vehicle owners complaining about the refusal of residential properties to install charging piles." Huang Jiahui, president of the Xiamen Property Management Association, said. In many cases, the capacity of the community is insufficient, and how to ensure the safety of electricity has become the focus of attention.

"In October 2020, the Marketing Department of the State Grid Headquarters set up a project to better serve the owners of new energy vehicles and realize the interconnection of charging piles." Zhong Xiaoqiang, deputy general manager of the State Grid Xiamen Power Supply Company, introduced, "The network office, simply put, the power supply company should go to the front, from the moment the owner buys the car, it will start to serve, survey the capacity of the community, approve the installation procedure, install and land, and maintain the later stage, and the power supply company must bear it." After New Year's Day 2021, the State Grid launched pilots in Xiamen, Fujian, Jinan, Shandong, Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Xi'an, Shaanxi, and launched the "Charging Pile Reporting" function on the "Online State Grid" client to comprehensively promote the service model of networking.

After solving the capacity problem, how to dispel the concerns of the property company? On January 7, 2021, at the meeting of the Xiamen Property Management Association, representatives of a number of property companies finally reached a unified opinion after consultation, and then the "Notice on Further Cooperation in the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities in Residential Areas" was issued to standardize the installation process of charging piles and clarify the boundaries of responsibility.

Under the linkage of all parties, in the end, the charging pile into the community is more smooth. Xiu Libin's new energy vehicles have finally been charged in their own parking spaces.

In 2021, a total of 1817 private charging piles in Xiamen successfully entered the community, which is 2.3 times the annual installation volume in 2020. In the first three months of this year, more than 600 private charging piles were newly installed in Xiamen, which continued to maintain steady growth. In Fujian Province, the new "multi-station fusion" supercharger station that can be charged and discharged also landed in Fuzhou in June last year, integrating super fast charging, battery detection, photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, power exchange and other functions, under the premise of meeting the charging needs of new energy vehicles, optimizing the output power according to the grid load. "It can reduce the cost of electricity, but also not increase the burden on the grid, and achieve peak shaving and valley filling." The person in charge of the State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co., Ltd. said.

Stimulate market vitality

New energy vehicles continue to break the ice in the countryside

In June last year, in a new energy vehicle to the countryside activities, in the face of 16 models launched by 8 car companies, Wang Chun, a villager in Gaocun, Yuci District, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, considered it again and again, or did not buy, "I opened a restaurant, often have to buy, I hope that the car is best to pull goods." There was no suitable model this time, and I was also worried that the battery would not be durable. ”

Guo Chuanming, deputy director of the Industrial Policy Department of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shanxi Province, said that at present, the acceptance of new energy vehicles by users in rural areas of Shanxi is not very high, and the mismatch between supply and demand is an important reason, "Rural areas need models with rich functions and strong practicality, and most of the new energy vehicles on the market are more suitable for the needs of urban people." ”

"The current price of new energy vehicles is generally higher than that of fuel vehicles, and the purchasing power in rural areas is limited, and rural users are very concerned about vehicle cost performance and after-sales problems." Kang Jia, a staff member of the marketing department of Shanxi Electric Power Company, said, "In addition, many township charging piles have not yet been popularized, and the inconvenience of charging has also deterred many people." ”

In August 2021, the Department of Commerce of Shanxi Province and other departments jointly issued the Notice on Several Measures to Boost Key Consumption of Bulk Consumption and Release the Potential of Rural Consumption. A number of prefectures and cities in Shanxi have successively introduced relevant measures to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles in rural areas. According to the relevant person in charge of the Taiyuan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, in 2021, Taiyuan City will invest 70 million yuan in car purchases and subsidies for cars going to the countryside. Since the beginning of this year, Taiyuan City has issued multi-wheel automobile consumption subsidy coupons, and individual consumers who buy new energy vehicles will be given subsidies of 3,000 yuan, 4,000 yuan or 6,000 yuan according to the amount of car purchases.

"Last year, we began to lay out the rural charging service network, build charging infrastructure in township power supply stations and township public parking lots, continuously improve the charging service network, and launch preferential charging activities for rural users." Konka told reporters that many local governments provide site support for the construction of charging facilities in rural areas.

At present, there are more than 200,000 new energy vehicles in Shanxi Province, and the growth trend in the past three years is obvious. In addition to the consumer side, we must also work the supply side. At present, Shanxi Province has introduced and cultivated a number of new energy vehicle production projects such as Geely Automobile to accelerate the promotion and application of methanol vehicles throughout the province, and we are also actively guiding car companies to launch some models that meet the needs of rural areas. Guo Chuanming said.

Release policy dividends

Industrial development has entered the fast lane

At present, the supporting services of new energy vehicles in the mainland are accelerating and improving. According to the latest statistics from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, in the first two months of this year, the increase in charging infrastructure in the mainland was 247,000 units; as of the end of February, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in the country reached 2.864 million units, an increase of 62.9% year-on-year.

In March, WEILAI Automobile Chengdu OCT Sam's Shop Substation, Changzhou Tianyu Square Substation and Supercharging Station were launched at the same time. As of March 26, Xiaopeng Automobile's self-operated stations have accumulated 927 on-line, including 751 self-operated supercharging stations and 176 destination charging stations.

"This year, we expect to invest 1.8 billion yuan in new charging facilities, build 20,000 charging piles, and focus on accelerating the integration of urban and rural charging facilities in the five southern provinces." Among them, Guangdong is expected to take the lead in achieving full coverage of charging pile townships in the first half of this year. The relevant person in charge of the emerging business department of China Southern Power Grid Corporation introduced.

"The policy dividend is the fundamental guarantee for the explosive growth of new energy vehicle sales in the past two years." Xu Changming, deputy director of the State Information Center, pointed out that the new energy automobile industry has three major advantages, one is fiscal and tax preferential policies such as financial subsidies and purchase tax reductions. For example, compared with fuel vehicles at the same price, new energy vehicles priced at 130,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan can enjoy a discount of 19,900 yuan.

The second is non-fiscal and tax policies such as license concessions and right-of-way concessions. "In cities with restricted traffic, new energy vehicles account for 13.9%; in cities that are neither limited nor limited to traffic, new energy vehicles account for 10.3%." It can be seen that the preferential license and the right of way concession have played a great role in promoting it. Xu Changming said.

The third is the "double integral" policy, which forces traditional fuel vehicle companies to increase the layout of pure electric vehicles and launch a number of competitive products. According to reports, in 2021, the mainland will list 70 new energy models, and the total number of new energy models currently on sale will reach 289, covering segments such as cars, SUVs, and MPVs.

Various support policies have been implemented one after another, boosting the mainland's new energy vehicles into the fast lane. Statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers show that in 2021, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in the mainland reached 3.545 million and 3.521 million units respectively, an increase of 1.6 times year-on-year, and the scale of production and sales ranked first in the world for 7 consecutive years, and the recognition of the new energy vehicle market was significantly improved.

"The mainland's new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of rapid development of scale and high quality." At the 2022 China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum held on March 26, Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that it is necessary to continue to ensure the stable operation of the new energy automobile industry, increase the promotion and application, further promote the application of the power exchange mode and fuel cell vehicle demonstration, start the pilot project of the full electrification of vehicles in the public domain, carry out new energy vehicle activities to the countryside, coordinate to promote the construction of charging infrastructure, and strive to solve the problem of charging difficulties in communities and highways.
