Zhong Faping: The pure electric vehicle industry has “hard injuries” and requires the support of hybrid vehicles.

"National ministries and commissions have ignored the development reality of China's new energy automotive industry, wasting a large amount of financial resources to 'rip ripe' purely electric vehicles with immature industrialization conditions, seriously hampering the strategic opportunities for the development of China's new energy auto industry." March 11, National Dr. Zhong Faping, deputy chairman of the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the China Battery Industry Association and director of the National Engineering Research Center for Advanced Energy Storage Materials, submitted a proposal requesting the relevant ministries and commissions to “correct” and support hybrid vehicles with mature technology and industrialization conditions. )industry.

Zhong Faping’s criticism and suggestion pointed to the “misstep” of the new energy auto industry's New Deal: Since 2008, the relevant ministries have been vigorously supporting the pure electric vehicle industry and proposed to achieve the goal of 500,000 units of sales by 2015. Up to now, the investment has exceeded 10 billion yuan, but due to the bottleneck of technological immature and lack of industrialization support, sales have so far been only 27,400 units.

In sharp contrast to this, the global sales volume of hybrid vehicles has already surpassed 7 million units, and the conditions for technology and industrialization have matured, and the relevant ministries have turned a blind eyes, and there has been little investment in supporting the hybrid car industry.

In fact, the United States, which previously pushed pure electric vehicles, has changed its course due to little success: The US Department of Energy recognizes that the goal of deploying 1 million pure electric vehicles by 2015 cannot be achieved, and officially abandons the development plan for pure electric vehicles.

“The electric vehicles currently have bottlenecks in the industry and the United States has already made a mistake. Why should we continue to make mistakes and go wrong?” Zhongfa Ping questioned the rationality of “purchasing money” for the pure electric vehicle industry, and proposed to strengthen the investment in related industries. Supervision.

Pure electric vehicle industry is "wounded"

Since 2008, the country has vigorously promoted the new energy auto policy. At that time, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology led the development of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles as the "two legs" of new energy vehicles.

However, the wind direction began to change after 2010. The new energy automobile industry development plan was jointly led by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the technology route was also readjusted to “the main strategy for pure electric vehicles as the development of new energy vehicles and the transformation of the automobile industry. "Oriented", overtaking the curve, strongly supporting the development of pure electric vehicles.

Correspondingly, the state gives a large amount of subsidy to pure electric vehicles, each with a maximum subsidy of up to 60,000 yuan. Some local governments subsidize another subsidy of 60,000 yuan per unit on the basis of state subsidies. At the same time, pure electric vehicles are reduced by 5%. The tax rate levies vehicle purchase tax.

According to incomplete statistics, the national and local investment in the development of pure electric vehicles for the past four years has exceeded 10 billion yuan, while the long-term investment target is 30 billion yuan.

What is the effect of industrial development under a lot of money? Despite such high subsidies, the market and consumers do not buy it. Statistics show that in 2012, sales of pure electric vehicles in the domestic market were only 12,700, and as of the end of 2012, cumulative sales were only 27,400.

“Electric electric vehicles have insurmountable industrial flaws.” Zhong Faping, a Ph.D. student of Wuhan University, said that due to the immature battery technology, pure electric vehicles have serious safety hazards. Previously, Verizon, Fisco, Zotye, etc. In the wake of fire accidents and other safety incidents, consumers are worried about the quality of pure electric vehicles.

In addition, high costs are also an important reason for consumers to abandon pure electric vehicles. At present, the lithium-electricity of a pure electric vehicle weighs more than 600 kilograms, and it can only run about 200 kilometers per charge. A charge time of not less than 4 hours, the battery cost over 100,000 yuan.

Can hybrid cars keep pace?

“Actually, the new energy vehicle plan has clearly stated that 'to popularize non-plug-in hybrid vehicles, energy-efficient internal combustion engine cars', but there is no quantitative target guidelines and related supporting policies, promotion and popularization has become a dead letter.” Zhongfa Ping revealed.

"Although the new energy vehicle plan will be included in the supporting direction of hybrid vehicles, but the subsidy is only 3,000 yuan / Taiwan, compared to pure electric vehicles 60,000 yuan / Taiwan subsidies, support efforts is obviously not enough." Researcher Liu Jun Jun Shun Securities pointed out that the policy "others ".

Deviations in policy support have made the performance of A-share hybrid vehicles and related listed companies such as nickel-hydrogen powered batteries upstream generally unsatisfactory, and companies that produce pure-electric lithium-ion batteries are also struggling on the edge of profit and loss.

Keli is one of the leaders of the A-share hybrid battery. In 2011, the company acquired the Matsushita Shonan Battery Factory, which produced Ni-MH battery packs for automobiles. However, due to the large investment in research and development and the lack of state subsidies, the company Performance has been faltering at a low profit.

The company, which is regarded as a "Ni-MH battery pioneer," plans to invest 1.3 billion yuan to build a nickel-hydrogen battery assembly expansion project in 2009. However, after investing more than 16 million yuan, the project is due to market demand. Insufficient deficit and was terminated in 2012.

In fact, hybrid vehicles are now superior to pure electric vehicles in terms of technology, cost, and industry maturity.

“First of all, safety is good, and the hybrid car has created 7 million records of accidents without quality and safety.” Zhongfa Ping revealed that the hybrid car's energy-saving performance is not inferior to pure electric vehicles.
