How to make new energy vehicles more "adequate"

"As our electricity source is still mainly coal, the promotion of electric vehicles will have a significant effect on reducing local emissions, but may have a limited effect on reducing overall carbon emissions." Ma Jun, director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Studies, believes that achieving the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" cannot only look at new energy vehicles, but also adjust the energy structure.

In an interview, he bluntly said that the proportion of domestic renewable energy power generation still has a large room to increase, "the larger the proportion of renewable energy power generation, the more conducive to electric vehicles to help achieve carbon neutrality." According to the plan, by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the installed power generation capacity of renewable energy will account for more than 50% of the total installed power in China.

Ma Jun suggested at the reading that electric vehicles can be used as a kind of energy storage tool to become part of the entire power grid and energy network, so as to make full use of renewable energy such as wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation that should not be stored. "If every electric vehicle in the future can be turned into an electric energy storage, it will solve a lot of energy storage problems," he said.

Li Chuangjun, director of the New Energy and renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, has previously said that by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, it is expected that the proportion of renewable energy in the increase of electricity consumption in the whole society will reach about two-thirds, and the proportion in the increase of primary energy consumption will exceed 50%. Renewable energy will change from the original incremental supplement of energy and electricity consumption to the main body of energy and electricity consumption increase.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, by speeding up the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, and improving the absorption and storage capacity of new energy, both to achieve large-scale development of renewable energy, but also to achieve a high level of consumption and utilization. "This means that we can more effectively guarantee the power supply and achieve high-quality development," concluded Li Chuangjun.

Industrial synergy is the key, and green development sets the tone for industrial upgrading

As the main means of human mobility, cars often travel across regions, and their use intensity and transportation turnover are usually closely related to the owner's use scenario, local economic structure and even industrial layout. Therefore, some people say that compared with other industries, the carbon emission composition of the transportation industry is more complex.

A number of industry insiders told reporters that the setting of carbon peak and carbon neutral goals has brought challenges to the automotive and transportation industry, and has also brewed many opportunities.

"In building a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international cycles promoting each other, the automotive industry will be an important part of achieving this goal." Gu Chunting, vice president of Shanghai International Trade Promotion Association, said that electrification has become the center of this round of technological change in the automobile industry, and domestic and foreign car companies are stepping up the layout of technology research and development and production capacity investment in the field of electric vehicles to seize the first-mover advantage. At the same time, the power of scientific and technological innovation is also deeply integrated into the automobile industry, and jointly promote the low-carbon development of China's automobile industry.

At the 2021 Shanghai International Auto Show, which opened on April 19, almost every exhibitor fully displayed new energy vehicles or the industry chain, so the auto show was also nicknamed the "new energy Auto Show".

After taking the lead in the launch of dedicated pure level station products in the Chinese market, Volkswagen ID. The family's flagship SUV model, the ID.6, was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, and Volkswagen will launch its fifth ID in China in the second half of this year. The family car. By 2023, the ID. family's product lineup in China will be expanded to eight models.

"Volkswagen is moving towards an electrified, fully connected and carbon-neutral future." Feng Sihan, CEO of Volkswagen passenger Car brand in China, bluntly said that Volkswagen is committed to becoming the preferred brand for Chinese users in the field of new energy vehicles and steadily advancing the electric mobility offensive.

Audi China president Anshihao said that the wave of electrification has made the auto market, including luxury car brands, appear "very big turning point and change", "this change is not only for car manufacturers, but also for users all the time to face new changes."
