Popularization of new energy vehicles is an important measure to promote the realization of the "dual carbon" goal. With the continuous maturity and breakthrough of technology, new energy vehicles have gradually entered the industrialization stage with many factors such as green environmental protection, comfort and low travel costs. Consumer recognition has further increased. However, in addition to the disadvantages of the short range, difficulty in charging and slow charging of new energy vehicles, the current charging piles restrict the energy replenishment requirements of new energy vehicles. In order to fully meet consumers' charging needs, Guangdong Province recently issued the "Implementation Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments on Further Improving the Service Guarantee Capacity of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure", pointing out that newly built residential communities in Guangdong Province must ensure that 100% of fixed parking spaces meet the construction of charging facilities or reserved installation conditions. At the same time, local charging infrastructure authorities are required to accelerate the realization of "full coverage of counties and counties" for electric vehicle charging stations, "full coverage of counties and townships", battery swap stations are further promoted, the density of highway charging piles has been further increased, and the level of interconnection of charging information platforms has been further improved.
Data shows that from January to August this year, China's new energy vehicle production and sales increased by more than 100% year-on-year, and the market penetration rate of reached 22.9%. It is predicted that the production and sales of new energy vehicles may reach 5.5 million this year, an increase of 56% over the same period last year. The goal of penetration rate of new energy vehicles in 2025 (to reach) 20%, which is likely to be achieved three years ahead of schedule this year. With the popularization and optimization of charging piles in various places, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is accelerating, and China's new energy vehicle market will flourish. Among them, SAIC Group is undoubtedly a dazzling existence. With its perfect market layout and a number of independent new energy core technologies, it has an unshakable position in the field of new energy, and has also made great contributions to my country's low-carbon development and the promotion of new energy technology.
2021, SAIC's new energy vehicles sold 733,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 128.9%, ranking first in China and third in the world. Moreover, SAIC's new energy vehicles have successfully gone overseas, selling 50,000 vehicles in developed countries such as Europe, Australia and New Zealand, becoming the flagship product of SAIC's overseas. In the past two months, SAIC's new energy vehicle sales have continued to rise. After breaking through the 100,000 vehicle mark for the first time in July, SAIC achieved sales of 105,000 new energy vehicle vehicles in August, an increase of 48.2% year-on-year, bringing confidence to the consumer market with its continuous market performance of exceeding 100,000. Behind the hot sales of
is solid technical strength to support it. As early as 2001, SAIC Group carried out related technical research and development work in the field of new energy, and explored the three technical routes of "pure electric, plug-in, and fuel cell ", and first mastered the core technologies of "battery, electric drive, and electronic control". As the new energy vehicle market began to explode in recent years, SAIC Group's first-mover advantage began to emerge, and SAIC continued to deepen its professional technology. In 2021 alone, SAIC invested more than 60 billion yuan in the field of innovation and obtained nearly 3,000 patents and obtained authorization. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, SAIC also plans to invest 300 billion yuan to further focus on the field of new energy smart cars. In terms of technical achievements, SAIC Group has pioneered the creation of the One-Pack platform-based battery pack with an ultra-wide energy matrix covering 54~135kWh. At the same time, SAIC's new generation of power batteries has been officially put into production, solving user pain points such as "safety anxiety, charging anxiety and economy". In the future, SAIC will further accelerate the commercialization exploration of solid-state battery to completely fill in the shortcomings of new energy vehicles.
The continuous advancement of the national dual-carbon target has driven new energy vehicles to the "fast lane" of rapid development. Professional institutions predict that by 2030, new energy vehicles will reach a penetration rate of 50%. As a top automobile consumer country, China's new energy vehicle market has undoubtedly huge potential, and the competition will inevitably be more intense. With its forward-looking product layout and deep technical reserves, SAIC Group has become a Chinese force that cannot be ignored in the field of new energy vehicles. I hope SAIC Group can maintain a strong development trend, lead China's new energy vehicle industry to write history, and allow China's new energy vehicles to achieve a double harvest of sales and reputation!
