AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/05 Report--

Although global car companies are facing the impact of "lack of core", new energy vehicles are extremely popular. According to data from the Federation of passengers, sales of narrow passenger cars in August were 1.451 million, down 14.8% from a year earlier and 3.4% from a month earlier, of which sales of new energy passenger vehicles were 250000, up 168.0% from a year earlier and 12.3% from a month earlier. At present, the share of new energy vehicles in the market is not high, accounting for only about 17% of the total market, but in the future new energy vehicles will become the main track of the automobile industry.

According to the "Development Plan of New Energy vehicle Industry (2021-2035)" issued by the General Office of the State Council, it is pointed out that the competitiveness of China's new energy vehicle market has been significantly enhanced in 2025, and the sales volume of new energy vehicles has reached about 20% of the total car sales. In addition, Zhang Hong, secretary-general of the New Energy Branch of the China Automobile Circulation Association, has also said publicly that the new energy market is bound to pick up gradually after the epidemic, and sales of new energy vehicles in China are expected to reach 8 million in 2025.

In the context of the continuous surge in sales of new energy vehicles, it means that Chinese consumers have gradually begun to accept new energy vehicles, but the continuous surge of new energy vehicles has also brought many problems, charging and battery life anxiety has become a worry for consumers to travel.

During the National Day, two short videos were widely circulated on social platforms. A video shows several adults fighting in front of a charging post, with one man clutching a charging gun and lying on the ground to avoid being robbed. Another video shows that during the traffic jam on the highway, drivers are afraid to turn on the air conditioner and sit by the side of the road to enjoy the cool because they are worried that the batteries of the new energy vehicles will not hold up.

According to a CCTV financial report, a new energy car owner returning from Shenzhen to Hunan spent more than five hours recharging his car in the Leiyang service area. Originally, it took more than eight hours to travel, but it finally took 16 hours. The owner said: "at that time, I checked the navigation without traffic jams before I temporarily decided to go home. I walked quite smoothly all the way. When I got to the Leiyang service area, I had to recharge. As a result, I got to the charging station, where many cars lined up to recharge."

The videos have once again sparked discussion among netizens about whether to buy a new energy car. Some netizens said that they had been worried about the battery life of electric cars, so they dared not do it. Let's see it in another ten years. Some netizens said that with the current characteristics of new energy vehicles, it is more suitable for families to use a second car to solve daily city trips. If you travel far, please avoid national legal holidays.

On September 26th, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference on accelerating the construction of new infrastructure in the field of transportation, emphasizing that at present, the number of charging piles on expressways nationwide has reached 10836, 95 newly equipped charging pile service areas, and 2318 charging pile service areas. The construction of charging piles is also being accelerated in highway and land and water passenger transport hubs to facilitate the green travel of users of new energy electric vehicles.

However, by the end of June, the number of new energy vehicles nationwide had reached 6.03 million, of which 4.93 million were pure electric vehicles, accounting for 81.7 percent of the total, according to the Ministry of Public Security. By comparison, it is not difficult to see that the charging facilities are far from enough, especially in the long holidays such as the National Day, the charging life of pure electric vehicles will become very serious.

Some people in the industry said that new energy vehicles have entered a period of explosive growth, and infrastructure has been speeding up in the past two years, but to really meet the freedom of travel, we still need to speed up the layout and resolve the difficult pain points of the charging network. In other words, the most fundamental thing to solve the problem of charging life is the rapid layout and improvement of infrastructure.

In addition to the increase in infrastructure, from the direction of pure electric vehicles, improving charging efficiency and mileage is also a way to alleviate the lack of charging facilities. In other words, if the mileage of a pure electric car can reach 1000 kilometers, then the anxiety of recharging range will be greatly reduced, but from the current market environment, no pure electric vehicle can reach a range of more than 1000 kilometers. Generally, it is about 500,600km, and in ideal conditions, users will be greatly reduced to continue driving. From the technical level, when the mileage and charging power reach a certain height, there will be a bottleneck, it is difficult to achieve a major breakthrough, it takes a lot of time and energy to overcome, so it is not realistic to achieve high range and high power charging in a short time.

At present, new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, are still in the stage of development, from low power to high power, from low endurance to high endurance, this development process will not change, the future will only be faster and longer. However, from the current use scene, pure electric vehicles are mainly daily transportation and intercity travel, and it is more convenient to choose fuel vehicles for long holidays, but with the solution of fast charging, battery life and other problems, the problems will be gradually alleviated in the future.
