Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the financial support and subsidy distribution for the electric vehicle (EV) industry in China from 2016 to 2020, highlighting the significant disparities among various automakers and regions in terms of subsidy amounts received and the subsequent adjustments made during the final audit process [2][4]. Summary by Sections Subsidy Distribution - From 2016 to 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued a total of 16.5 billion yuan in subsidies for the promotion of EVs [2]. - Beijing New Energy Vehicle Company received approximately 555.55 million yuan, accounting for over 30% of the total subsidies, while BYD received only 15.74 million yuan, representing less than 1% [2][6]. Regional Analysis - Six regions received over 100 million yuan in subsidies, with Beijing leading at over 700 million yuan, followed by Zhejiang with approximately 303 million yuan [4][11]. - Guizhou province did not receive any subsidies during this period [4]. Subsidy Reduction - The article highlights the significant subsidy reductions faced by several automakers, with Chery Automotive experiencing the highest reduction of approximately 237 million yuan [4][7]. - The main reasons for subsidy reductions included non-compliance with documentation requirements and discrepancies in vehicle registration [4][7]. Comparison Among Automakers - Among the major automakers, Dongfeng Motor Group received 255.9 million yuan, making it the only state-owned enterprise to exceed 100 million yuan in subsidies [6]. - In contrast, Tesla received only 3.59 million yuan, and its subsidies were reduced by 761.45 million yuan during the final audit [9][6]. Future Trends - The article notes that the focus is shifting towards enhancing EV technology, with new requirements for tax exemptions set to take effect in 2024 [14][15]. - The expected growth in EV sales from 2021 to 2024 is projected to be significant, with a compound annual growth rate of 38.2% [15].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the significant advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology that have enabled the successful adoption of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in high-cold and high-altitude regions of China, overcoming previous limitations related to low temperatures and infrastructure challenges [4][25]. Group 1: Technological Advancements - Breakthroughs in thermal management systems and battery technology have addressed the issue of range reduction in low temperatures, with vehicles like the Dongfeng Nano 06 maintaining a 68% range retention at -7°C and starting at -40°C [6][8]. - The Geely Zeekr 7X features an 800V second-generation battery that reduces low-temperature resistance by 36% and improves conductivity by 40%, allowing for rapid charging even in extreme cold [8][9]. - The introduction of innovative heating technologies, such as the micro-nuclear high-frequency pulse heating technology in the Deep Blue S05, enhances battery performance in cold conditions, enabling faster heating and charging [10][19]. Group 2: Market Trends and Adoption - Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have gained popularity in northern and high-altitude regions, with over 70% market share in areas like Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, due to their ability to alleviate range anxiety and reduced reliance on charging infrastructure [12][14]. - In Tibet, the development of NEVs is supported by abundant clean energy resources and lower electricity costs compared to fuel, making them more cost-effective [14][15]. - The Jilin Province aims to enhance its NEV industry, targeting over 50,000 units in production by 2026, with a significant increase in the penetration rate of NEVs in the region [23]. Group 3: Competitive Edge in Core Components - China has made significant strides in battery technology, with innovations such as sodium-ion batteries maintaining 90% capacity at -40°C, addressing the performance issues of traditional lithium batteries in cold climates [16][22]. - The electric motor technology in China is advancing rapidly, with companies like BYD and Dongfeng introducing highly efficient multi-functional motors that perform well in extreme conditions [22]. - The integration of hydrogen fuel cells with lithium batteries in heavy-duty applications, such as the 110-ton hybrid unmanned mining truck, showcases the versatility and adaptability of NEVs in harsh environments [24].
