当有声音质疑"资本撤出，电动汽车增长放缓"时，动力电池装车量数据的趋势，将给产业带来更大信心。 用数据说话，根据动力电池装车量榜单数据，我们能得到多个重要结论。 首先，汽车的电动化进程还在加速。 由眼下局面可知，尽管依旧存在"政策产物"、"海外不搞新能源是人间清醒"等声音，然而新能源车与动力电池的高涨势头，仍将长期持续。 动力电池增速＞新能源车 都说新能源车的高速增长，成为汽车市场最大的希望。 没错，10月份，乘用车国内零售销量同比微跌0.8%至224.2万辆时，新能源车却同比增长7.3%至128.2万辆。从1~10月累计数据看，乘用车同比上升7.9%至 1,925.0万辆，新能源车同比大涨21.9%至1,015.1万辆，渗透率高达52.7%。 但如果只将新能源汽车的走热，看成优惠政策的产物，那就大错特错了。倘若多数人更爱油车，只因为政策而勉强选择电车，那么在宏观层面，单车电动 化程度应该倒退——有插混不选纯电，有便宜的小电池不选昂贵的大电池。 1-10月，我国动力电池累计销量创下910.3GWh同期新高，同比增幅高达49.9%。这一速度明显高于新能源车销量增幅。 其次，中国确实在引领全球汽车电动化发展进程， ...
