CCTV News: In the first half of this year, the retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles in my country has exceeded 28%, that is to say, one out of every four vehicles sold is a new energy vehicle. Among them, in the international market, my country also continued to maintain its position as the largest exporter of new energy vehicles in the first half of the year.

From scratch to excellence, how did my country's new energy vehicle industry emerge suddenly? Is today's popularity accidental or inevitable?

Back to 2003. At that time, my country's traditional automobile industry has been in a state of following. Out of the consideration of energy, environment and industrial development, my country's Tenth Five-Year Plan has carried out research and development layout for the development of new energy vehicles, and related technologies have begun to tackle key problems. At this initial stage, everyone encountered a major event that could destroy confidence.

Member of the Standing Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology Zhang Jinhua, Executive Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the China Society of Automotive Engineers: Fans of electric vehicles in the United States, and it can be said that they are all over the world, gathered at Hollywood Cemetery in Los Angeles in July 2003 to hold a "funeral" for electric vehicles. The industry generally believes that this event marks the end of the history of electric vehicle development.

In the face of such lessons learned, whether China will continue the established research and development of electric vehicles will test the judgment and determination of decision makers.

Zhang Jinhua, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Society of Automotive Engineering, member of the Standing Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology: At that time, China conducted a systematic review and reflection on the R&D layout we insisted on. We believed that with the advancement of lithium-ion power battery technology, electric vehicles are still a The expected development direction, the national science and technology plan still supports new energy vehicle technology research.

How to pave the way for the new energy vehicle market to grow from scratch? More than 70 industrial, technological, fiscal and taxation policies issued by our country have become powerful boosters for industrial development and have played an important role in different stages.

Zhang Jinhua, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Society of Automotive Engineering, member of the Standing Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology: In 2012, the energy-saving and new energy vehicle development plan issued by the State Council, and the new energy vehicle industry development plan released in 2021 are the top level of the country's new energy development The strategic document systematically plans the country's new energy vehicle technology route from 2012 to 2035, the goals of industrial development and the key points of technological breakthroughs. Secondly, starting from 2009, subsidies plus tax relief are an important supporting measure for the large-scale development and large-scale application of new energy vehicles.
