Innovation and Development of China's New Energy Vehicles Industry

Innovation and Development of China’s New Energy Vehicles Industry provides readers with comprehensive information to support energy transition. The book aids understanding of the significant role of new energy vehicles in energy transition and also encourages active participation in the promotion and application of green energy, thereby supporting the process of global energy transition. Insights and models presented are developed from extensive real-world data collected from over 20 cities, 40 companies and more than 500 questionnaires, making the content directly applicable to policymakers and industry stakeholders. Using foreign case studies to make comparisons, including from the USA and UK, readers are given an enriched international perspective to better understand China’s industrial position and role, to help them grasp the dynamics of global energy transition, support international cooperation and technical exchanges, and jointly promote the optimization of the global energy structure. Presents in-depth explanations of the key technologies employed in new energy vehicles, including battery technology, electric drive systems, charging infrastructure and intelligent networking technology, which improve performance and economy, and also promote the replacement of traditional energy source vehicles. Mastering these technologies enables industry professionals, researchers and academic readers to understand the role of new energy vehicles in supporting energy transition through efficient and environmentally friendly design. The book stands out from traditional approaches to business model analysis, which tends to focus solely at the enterprise level, by addressing the dynamic nature of this evolving industry. Assists readers in understanding relevant policy support and market mechanisms, including financial subsidies, tax incentives, regulations and norms and how these promote industry development and their important role in energy transition.
