Small electric car China market “growth worry”

2013 Chinese Changchun international automobile technology forum ferments continually the small electric car’s topic. The attending expert indicated that small electric car wheel hub motor China market bitter experience “growth worry”.
With the market in electric cars and so on popular Toyota Pu sharp Si compare, the small electric car general volume is small, the price is low, continues drives the course not to be high, but the charge convenience, the performance-to-price ratio is high, receives very many Chinese consumer’s welcome.
“the small electric car price is cheap, lowest less than 30,000 Yuan, about highest 50,000 Yuan. The highest speed can achieve 50 to 70 kilometers each hour, the biggest continue voyage course can arrive to 70 to 100 kilometers.”Participated in this forum’s Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Guo Konghui to say.
Most in the last few years, Guo Konghui has paid attention to motorcycle hub motor kit the small electric car in the Chinese market performance, and arrives at Shandong frequently and so on small electric car market demand exuberant area investigation and study. He introduced that regarding the cities or the countryside area, the small electric car is practical, the charge convenience, does not need the complex charge facility, electric motorcycle hub motor may charge in own, is equal only to air conditioning’s electricity consumption.
Although the small electric car merit is numerous, but is actually being restricted policy. Before Chinese labor letter department releases “Energy conservation And New Energy Automobile Industrial development Plan”, had determined “take the pure electric drive as the new energy automobile development and the automobile industry reforming main strategic orientation”, and stipulated the pure electric automobile maximum speed is not lower than to 2015 for 100 kilometers/hours, electric motors for bicycles under the comprehensive operating mode continues drives the course not to be lower than 150 kilometers.
“the such high threshold, in fact already removed the small electric car in outside”. Guo Konghui said.
Why is the small electric car restricted policy? One kind of mainstream’s viewpoint believed that the small electric car’s voltage is low, the electrical machinery power is limited, use materials and so on lead-acid battery can have the pollution, therefore should place the center of gravity in the high-end electric car’s research and development.
“at present, the small electric motor for bicycle electric car and the Production enterprise looks like the roadside weeds equally tenacious growth, longed for that grows up.”Guo Konghui said. If obtains the national policy approval, the small electric car’s formalization not only will impel the battery, the electrical machinery and so on key technologies enhancement, will also promote the high-end electric car’s industrial production.
