Is 2021 the first year of new energy vehicles in China?

It has been said for several years about the first year of China's new energy vehicles. However, the author believes that 2021 is really the first year of China's new energy vehicles. There are mainly four signs as follows:

1、 Since 2021, China's new energy vehicles have entered a period of rapid development from the cultivation period.

In November 2020, the general office of the State Council issued the "new energy vehicle industry development plan (2021-2035)", which is a continuation of the policy of "energy saving and new energy vehicle industry development plan (2012-2020)", and also marks that China's new energy vehicles have officially entered a rapid development period from the cultivation period.

In the past few years, China's new energy vehicle industry has invested more than 2 trillion yuan, forming a complete industrial chain layout. With the vigorous promotion of the Chinese government and the active efforts of enterprises, China's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly through nearly a decade of cultivation. China has become the world's largest producer and market of new energy vehicles for many years in a row. China's new energy vehicle ownership accounts for more than half of the world. With the gradual decline of the state subsidies for the purchase of new energy vehicles, until it is completely cancelled, China's new energy vehicle market continues to mature, from the cultivation period to the rapid development period.

2、 New energy vehicles have become a strategic emerging industry in the 14th five year plan and the next 15 years.

The fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress, held in March this year, deliberated and adopted the outline of the fourteenth five year plan of the people's Republic of China for national economic and social development and the long-term goals for 2035, and formulated detailed and clear development plans and goals for national economic and social development in the next five and 15 years《 The outline points out that "looking forward to 2035, China will basically realize socialist modernization."“ Green production and life style will be widely formed, carbon emissions will be stable and declining after reaching the peak, the ecological environment will be fundamentally improved, and the goal of building a beautiful China will be basically achieved. ".

The Chinese government has promised that China's carbon dioxide emissions will reach the peak by 2030 and then decrease year by year. By 2060, through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction and other forms, offset their own carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions, achieve positive and negative offset, and achieve "zero emission", that is, carbon neutralization. Car emissions account for about one tenth of China's total emissions. New energy vehicles are responsible for reducing carbon emissions and carbon dioxide emissions.

The outline lists new energy vehicles, new generation information technology, biotechnology, new materials, high-end equipment and other industries as key strategic emerging industries, which fully shows that the country attaches great importance to the development of new energy vehicle industry.

Electrification, intelligence and networking are the development trend of the world's automobile industry. The development of new energy vehicles is an important way for China's automobile industry to transform from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country. Vigorously developing new energy vehicles is an important measure for China to reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. Vigorously developing new energy vehicles is not only an important task during the "fourteenth five year plan", but also a long-term strategic task, and the development prospect is very broad.

3、 Multinational automobile companies march into China's new energy vehicle market.

In the past few years, China's new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles, are mainly independent brands, with a market share of more than 90%. Multinational automobile companies and joint ventures in China have few products. But that is changing. Since the beginning of this year, FAW Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen's pure electric vehicles have successively entered the Chinese market. Domestic electric vehicle models of other multinational automobile companies in China are also listed or will be listed one after another.

With the new energy vehicles of multinational automobile groups entering the middle market, China's new energy vehicle market is forming a pattern of self owned brands, new car building forces and foreign brands blooming, and the competition is more intense.

4、 New energy vehicles become the leading role in the international top auto show for the first time.

The 19th Shanghai International Auto Show, which has just been successfully held, is the first top international auto show to be held as scheduled in 2021. This year's Shanghai auto show, no matter from the audience's attention to the media's popularity, new energy vehicles surpass traditional fuel vehicles for the first time, fully reflecting China's huge development prospects and leading position in the new energy vehicle market.

China's new energy vehicle industry has become the focus of the world. Chinese and foreign enterprises actively embrace the development wave of China's new energy vehicle industry, march into China's new energy vehicle market, and help China achieve "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral".
