Compared with the passenger car market, the performance of the new energy vehicle market in 2020 is stronger. According to the Federation of passengers, the retail volume of narrow passenger cars in 2020 was 19.288 million, down 6.8 per cent from the same period last year. Of these, 1.109 million were new energy passenger cars, an increase of 9.8 percent over the same period last year.

Under the background of the rapid development of new energy vehicles, there are many behaviors, such as product safety, over-propaganda, false propaganda and so on. On January 26, a commentary article by Xinhua News Agency attracted attention, entitled "be on guard against the grandiose and speculative style of the new energy vehicle industry." it publicly named several new energy companies. The article points out that "excessive propaganda" and hype in the new energy vehicle industry are looming, and some bad trends should be vigilant.

A poster released by GAC Ean on January 15 shows that its latest power battery technology has the advantages of super fast charge, super battery life and super safety. It claims that the graphene-based super fast charging battery has the characteristics of "super fast charge + ultra long range + super safety". It can fill 80% in 8 minutes, has a range of 1000 km, has the most stringent safety test in history, and the new battery is about to be mass produced. On the news, GAC GROUP's A shares rose by the daily limit, and H shares closed up 19.49%.

However, the technology has been questioned by experts. Ouyang Minggao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the 2021 China Electric vehicle Association Forum on January 16, "if someone says that his car can run 1000 kilometers and can be recharged in a few minutes, it is very safe and the cost is very low." you don't have to believe that this can't be achieved at the same time at the moment. "

On January 17, Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC Ean, responded that GAC Ean's 1000 km long-range car will definitely come out this year, but the cost will not be low. GAC GROUP's most recent response is that the so-called "fast charge" and "long battery life" characteristics will be reflected in two types of batteries, not on the same battery at the same time. As soon as the news came out, GAC GROUP's A shares and H shares both fell.

Xinhua News Agency commented, "A meal of hype is as fierce as a tiger, investors who suffer losses feel 'fooled', and investors who benefit from speculation say bluntly that it is not against the law to brag. Behind all kinds of disputes, the excessive propaganda and hype in the new energy automobile industry are looming, and some bad trends are worthy of vigilance. "

Xinhua also pointed out that "the new energy vehicle industry is becoming more and more grandiose and boastful." Many enterprises are infatuated with gorgeous rhetoric, exaggerated propaganda, frequent industry chaos, and even some safety accidents occur from time to time, the hidden danger is not small. "

Those who were publicly named were Weimar and the Ningde era. Around October 2020, a number of electric vehicle spontaneous combustion accidents occurred in Weima Automobile, which aroused widespread concern in the industry. On October 5, a parked Weima EX5 electric car caught fire on the side of the road and was scrapped after the accident. On October 13, a Weima electric car also caught fire while charging, causing serious damage. On October 27, another Weima EX5 caught fire and exploded in Haidian District, Beijing, completely destroying the front cabin and front seats, and the whole vehicle was facing scrapping. After the accident, Weimar issued a recall message and decided to recall 1282 2020 Weima electric vehicles.

In addition, two fire and explosion accidents in the Ningde era also attracted attention. On January 7, Ningde Times wholly-owned subsidiary Hunan Bangpu Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. Ningxiang old factory, due to the waste aluminum foil in the waste slag stacking workshop caught fire and exploded, resulting in one death, six serious injuries and 14 minor injuries. On January 20, an explosion occurred in Qujing Lintie Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture between German Nano and Ningde Times, in which 12 people were injured.

As the future development direction of the automobile market, new energy vehicles have been widely concerned by the market. More and more car companies begin to lay out the development of new energy vehicles. At the same time, there are many cross-border car-building situations. However, the difficulty of breaking through the technological bottleneck and the strong approach of foreign competitors have also put a lot of pressure on many domestic new energy car companies.

The rapid development of new energy vehicles at the same time, the technology of accumulated strength, more than exaggeration. Xinhua News Agency pointed out in the article that less bragging and more practical work should stop the grandiose speculation style of new energy vehicles. After years of development, some Chinese car companies have accumulated certain advantages in battery and other fields, but compared with traditional European and American car companies, there is still a certain gap in vehicle technology, control system, interior decoration technology and so on. The road of climbing and leaping of Chinese automobile manufacturing enterprises is still long and long, so we should keep our feet on the ground when looking up at the starry sky.

According to data, Xinhua News Agency, founded in 1931, is China's national news agency, statutory news regulatory agency, as well as a worldwide modern news agency.
