Foreign media said that China is rapidly increasing the number of electric vehicles charging pile, hoping to compete with the West in the new energy vehicles to occupy a leading position.
According to the British "Times" website reported on September 11, China ambitiously developed to the end of the year in the country to install 800,000 charging pile of the plan, compared with the previous 240,000 greatly increased, this decision means that from the Customers who buy electric cars and hybrid cars provide subsidies to change to provide public financial support to infrastructure construction.
Reported that China not only to electric cars as narrowing the gap with Western countries, but also that it has the opportunity to replace its global competitors and become the market leader.
China also sees electric vehicles as a serious air pollution solution in the country. In order to purify the dirty air, Beijing has set a goal for its automotive industry to meet stringent emission standards, but in order to achieve the plan to maintain 5 million energy-saving vehicles by 2020, China must solve the problem of shortcomings of the charging pile - The number of piles can not meet the needs of more than 1 million electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles in China.
In a 2016 market survey, the London-based Kay degree consulting firm found that the lack of charging pile "greatly suppressed" Chinese consumers to buy electric cars "enthusiasm", which is the main car owners complain.
The government's national grid is doing so, and it is committed to an increase of 29,000 on the basis of the existing 40,000 piles this year, with a focus on building stations on major roads, with a target of 120,000 by 2020 A charging pile.
The report said that this gives private operators a lot of space, Beijing in 2014 to private operators to open the market. In cooperation with private companies such as Star Charging, the national grid has built a platform to connect 16.7 million piles, which is already the world's largest network. In this process, Beijing is still solving another problem - the charging pile and electric vehicle models unified to achieve standardization, so that they can be compatible with each other. "It is very important to promote Chinese standards," said an official from the State Grid.
According to the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported on September 12, the Chinese government to establish a policy, will prohibit the production and sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles. China will turn the focus of the automobile industry to electric vehicles mainly new energy vehicles. China's move as the world's largest auto market is bound to affect the global car market strategy and the global electric car market.
