New Energy Vehicle Market in China: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The growing focus on the development of NEV charging infrastructure is notably driving the new energy vehicle market growth in China, although factors such as the FCVs removed from the NEV benefits may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the new energy vehicle industry in China. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key New Energy Vehicle Market Driver in China

• One of the key factors driving growth in the new energy vehicle market is the growing focus on the development of NEV charging infrastructure.
• The government, as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), are focusing on developing the charging infrastructure, which would aid in the mass adoption of electric cars and public transport vehicles.
• China has the highest number of charging stations in the world.
• As of 2021, the total number of charging stations in China reached more than 1 million. China's draft energy vehicle development plan 2021-2035 is aimed to increase the share of NEVs to 20% of the total vehicle sales in China by 2025.
• The plan also focuses on R&D areas for various charging infrastructures such as high-voltage charging, wireless charging, safety monitoring, and warning systems for charging infrastructure. Further, the government is planning to add more EV charging stations to support the target of 20 million EVs by 2025.

Key New Energy Vehicle Market Trend in China

• The application of ultra-capacitors in EV energy storage systems is a new energy vehicle market trend in China that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
• Ultra-capacitors used for energy storage and for the discharge function in the battery packs for EVs are highly attractive futuristic trends.
• China-based CRRC Corp. Ltd. has already tested ultra-capacitors, and they have been in use for powering its public transport buses since 2008.
• In June 2021, the first electric bus equipped with an ultracapacitor started operating in the Tongzhou district of China. 
• The price of ultra-capacitors will decline during the forecast period, with a high demand for ultra-capacitors over batteries. Moreover, in the long term, the total cost of ownership will decrease with ultra-capacitors, as the lifespan of ultra-capacitors is more than two times compared to normal Li-ion batteries.
• The implementation of this trend can boost the growth of the electric bus industry in China, thus driving the growth of the market in focus.

Key New Energy Vehicle Market Challenge in China

• The FCVs removed from the NEV benefits will be a major challenge for the new energy vehicle market in China during the forecast period.
• FCVs were a part of the NEV policy and were getting subsidy benefits till April 2020, post which the Chinese government planned to remove these vehicles from NEV benefits. This severely affected the manufacturers who concentrated their major business on FCV rather than pure EVs. This pushed down the end user's adoption of FCVs, especially in 2020. 
• The government's strict regulations on automakers toward NEV product portfolio will, in turn, make OEMs curtail their fuel cell businesses and move on to all-electric technologies, which will require huge investments and rapid R&D activities.
• Initially, in 2017, the regulation mandated that 8% of sales by automakers should account for EVs, which was subsequently raised to 10% in 2019, and 12% in 2020. Therefore, such factors may negatively impact the growth of the market focus.
