On May 25th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had previously formulated the Action Plan for Promoting Electrification of Vehicles in Public Fields, which is now being vigorously promoted.

According to relevant plans, by 2035, China's public vehicles will be fully electrified, and fuel cell vehicles will be commercialized. To this end, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is prepared to further promote electrification in buses, urban logistics vehicles and on-road sweepers.

It is understood that the authorities will start the declaration of comprehensive electrification pilot cities, and work with the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments to study the incentive and subsidy support policies, so as to effectively promote private consumption through electrification in the public sector.

Regarding the above measures, Sun Hengzheng, an expert on new energy vehicles, said that due to the particularity of public vehicles, this comprehensive electrification pilot project will require the perfection of local charging and replacing facilities. The expert further pointed out that different vehicles, such as official vehicles, network cars, taxis, buses and logistics vehicles, have different requirements for charging and replacing batteries, and more suitable methods must be considered in combination with the operating characteristics of vehicles, such as slow charging, fast charging, battery swapping, high-power charging and online charging. The design of vehicles in public areas should be combined with charging and replacing methods to obtain the best economy and efficiency.

"This national pilot project, regardless of the number of participating cities, will greatly expand the number of EVs and the scale of charging and replacing power stations." Sun Hengzheng said.
