It takes only 17 months from 10 million to 20 million, and this speed increase is very exciting!

"China’s new energy vehicles run out of the world ‘ China speed ’ 。”

On July 3rd, China’s 20 millionth new energy vehicle rolled off the assembly line in Guangzhou GAC, which was the highlight moment of GAC new energy vehicle and the glory moment of China new energy vehicle.

What does it mean for the 20 millionth new energy vehicle to go offline? It means that new energy vehicles in China have entered a new stage of large-scale and global high-quality development on the basis of industrialization and marketization.

From industrialization to scale, from marketization to globalization, China new energy vehicles galloped all the way, leaving countless shining nodes.

The production and sales scale of new energy vehicles in China has been ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years, with a global market share of over 60%. In 2022, among the top ten global sales of new energy vehicles, China brand accounted for six seats; Recently, the international standard for functional safety of rechargeable energy storage system for new energy vehicles led by China was officially released & HELIP; …

From the global leading market scale to the effective breakthrough of key technologies, from the substantial improvement of brand competitiveness to the increasingly optimized supporting facilities environment, China new energy vehicles have formed a unique "charm offensive" and won the favor of users.

This set of data is worth talking about: it took 15 years for China’s new energy vehicles to reach the first 10 million; It took only 17 months to complete the second 10 million vehicles. "More and more output, shorter and shorter time", which is behind the dual support of policy and market, but also the common "blessing" of technology and system.

On April 12th this year, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Guangdong, he visited Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guangzhou Automobile Group. This enterprise is the head enterprise of new energy vehicles in China, and the 20 millionth new energy vehicle in China is driven out from the whole vehicle of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an Company.

During this inspection, the General Secretary specially walked into the enterprise exhibition hall, assembly workshop and battery production workshop to understand the progress of enterprises in breaking through key core technologies and promoting high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing.

According to reports, the chairman of Guangzhou Automobile Group later said in an interview: "The breakthrough of enterprises in key core technologies is a matter of great concern to the Supreme Leader General Secretary." Next, GAC will promote the "strong chain" of independent innovation and independently master the core technologies of "three electricity" (battery, motor and electronic control) and intelligent network connection; Promote the localization of chips to "stabilize the chain" and fully implement the "climbing plan".

The general secretary has always been concerned about the development of new energy vehicles and has always emphasized the breakthrough of key core technologies. As early as 2014, when the General Secretary visited Shanghai, he came to SAIC Powertrain Laboratory to learn more about the development of new energy vehicles, and pointed out: "Whether the research and development of new energy vehicle technology can occupy the commanding heights has become the focus of competition in the automotive industry in the world today." "It is necessary to increase research and development efforts, carefully study the market, make good use of flexible policies, and develop products that meet various needs to make it a strong growth point."

In July, 2020, the General Secretary visited Jilin and said something like this in FAW Group: "Now, the competition in the international automobile manufacturing industry is fierce, and the trends of informationization and intelligence are constantly developing. For us, it is dangerous and organic. We must hold the key core technologies in our own hands, and we must make this ambition and make the national automobile brand. "

FAW Group is the cradle of new China automobile industry. Looking back, people are filled with emotion. Seventy years ago, on July 15th, 1953, the foundation stone laying ceremony of China No.1 Automobile Factory was held. On the marble foundation stone, Mao Zedong’s inscription: "Commemorating the foundation stone laying of No.1 Automobile Factory" was conspicuously written. FAW Group, bearing the original and most beautiful dream of making cars in New China.

When the new China was first established, there were many things to be done. "Even a car, a plane and a tank can’t be made.". FAW Group put into construction, and all departments worked together to build a car in Chinese. At that time, a popular song expressed Chinese’s cheerful mood: "I thought I learned to drive a car when I was eighteen, and I was an old expert in fiddling with that foreign car, but I just didn’t see what a China car looked like, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the domestic car I was looking forward to really got out of the factory." …”

From scratch, from scratch to excellent, China automobile industry has gone through an extraordinary and eventful road. It is particularly gratifying that China’s new energy vehicles have achieved leap-forward development and rushed to the center of the international stage step by step, becoming the global leader in new energy vehicles.

Why China’s new energy vehicles have sprung up? It can be summarized as follows: seize the development opportunity of pure electric drive of "changing lanes and overtaking"; Maintain strategic strength and stick to a blueprint to the end; Construct an innovation system with enterprises as the main body; The government is guided by top-level design, technological innovation, standard system and fiscal and taxation policies.

Take policy support as an example. According to statistics, in recent years, various departments have launched more than 70 support policies and measures. The density, scope and intensity of the measures are amazing.

On April 28th this year, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting and pointed out: "It is necessary to consolidate and expand the development advantages of new energy vehicles". How to consolidate and expand advantages? One of the measures is to "accelerate the construction of charging piles, energy storage and other facilities and the transformation of supporting power grids."

There is also encouraging news. Not long ago, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that the vehicle purchase tax exemption for new energy vehicles was extended for four years. When the news came out, there was a lot of applause. It is widely expected that this purchase tax reduction and exemption policy will further push China’s new energy vehicles to a new level. This measure comes at the right time, which has positive significance for stabilizing market expectations, optimizing the consumption environment and releasing the consumption potential of new energy vehicles.

Looking for the blue ocean in the sinking market is also an opportunity for the development of new energy vehicles. This year’s No.1 Document of the Central Committee pointed out that areas with conditions should be encouraged to carry out new energy vehicles to the countryside. Not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued a document saying that measures were introduced to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside. This institutional arrangement will further expand the consumption of new energy vehicles and promote rural revitalization.

When new energy vehicles run all the way, it is inevitable that there will be "growing troubles".

Lack of "piles" and "bits" is a headache for car owners. Many new energy owners are "afraid of heights" — — I’m afraid of driving on the highway, and I’m worried that there are too few charging piles, and it’s hard to find one at the peak, which leads to getting out of the city, not going home, getting off at home and not charging electricity. The media has also reported cases such as "charging for 1 hour and queuing for 4 hours", which makes people feel pale.

Recently, an article received attention on the Internet. The article says that "trams sell well because of the large fuel tank", and extended-range electric vehicles sell well because their battery packs can be charged by ground charging piles or car chargers, and their engines can be fuel-fired or gas-fired. To put it bluntly, the advantage of this kind of car is that "in the city, when it is powered by pure electricity, when it is powered by oil at high speed, it is possible to install charging piles when conditions permit, but it is impossible to refuel directly." This also reflects a realistic proposition, how can new energy vehicles improve their endurance?

Whether it is from 0 to 1 or from 1 to n, it is not easy for new energy vehicles to come all the way. As a strategic emerging industry in China, new energy vehicles shoulder an important mission, and it is normal that they will encounter different situations at different stages of development.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology admitted at a recent press conference that although the development of China’s new energy automobile industry has achieved certain results, there are still some problems in the industry, such as insufficient supply of key core technologies, unbalanced and inadequate overall market-oriented development, and the need to improve support and support capabilities, which need to be solved by all parties concerned.

Adhere to the problem orientation and solve the problems one by one, and we can achieve a new leap.

At present, China has built a charging infrastructure system with the largest number, the largest service range and the most complete variety in the world.

However, this is not the end. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles in China, the charging infrastructure is standard and just needed by users. With the increase of users, the infrastructure construction should also be accelerated. Only by moderately building the charging infrastructure in advance and optimizing the purchase and use environment of new energy vehicles can we better help new energy vehicles sail to a broader future.

Take new energy vehicles going to the countryside as an example. It is urgent to solve the problems such as insufficient construction of public charging infrastructure in rural areas, difficult installation and sharing of charging facilities in residential communities, and prominent contradiction between supply and demand in different periods, realize "full coverage of charging stations in counties" and "full coverage of charging piles in villages and towns", and promote sharing modes such as "sharing adjacent parking spaces", "sharing in communities in time" and "sharing one pile with multiple vehicles".

There is a vivid metaphor: you want to eat boiled chicken, first of all, because it is of good quality and delicious, rather than buying it for the sauce it goes with. By the same logic, a complete charging pile is of course an important factor for consumers to buy electric vehicles, while the high quality of the vehicles themselves is more attractive.

At present, some new energy car companies no longer "roll the price", but emphasize the price ratio and pursue more hard-core technology, which is commendable. By keeping a close eye on technological progress and innovating business models, new energy vehicle enterprises can not only improve their profitability, but also make China new energy vehicles more competitive and have more say in the international market.

Automobile is known as "the jewel in the crown of modern industry", which is a master of modern industrial technology and one of the important symbols that can best reflect the national manufacturing strength. The reason why China’s new energy vehicles are leading all the way is to achieve breakthroughs in the fields of "three electricity" (battery, motor and electronic control). To this end, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, BYD, Yuanjing Energy and other battery manufacturers have the responsibility to achieve greater breakthroughs and inject more momentum into the breakthrough of new energy vehicles in China.

At present, there are hundreds of new energy vehicles, only innovators advance, only innovators are strong, and only innovators win. If the new energy vehicles are compared to the "first half" and the intelligent networked vehicles are compared to the "second half", then the "first half" of China’s automobile industry has achieved great results, but it is still the "second half" that determines the outcome.

At present, in some developed countries in Europe and America, not only cars from Europe and America, Japan and South Korea are running on the road, but also new energy vehicles from China. Strive to play the "second half", stand more steadily and run further in the fierce competition, which will promote China’s new energy vehicles to achieve high-quality development, have more horsepower to export to the sea, and show their elegance.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the automobile industry is an industry with a large market, high technical content and refined management, and developing new energy vehicles is the only way for China to move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country.

In the expedition to become a powerful automobile country, the production of the 20 millionth new energy vehicle is a new starting point. China new energy vehicles will sing and be wonderful all the way with the heart of five continents and four seas and the foot on the road.
