1.Industry Status

In May 2022, China's industrial added value above designated size increased by 0.7% year-on-year, among which the output of new energy vehicles increased by 108.3% year-on-year.According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, PRC on June 14, the cumulative sales volume of China's new energy vehicles rose sharply from 20,000 at the end of 2012 to 11.08 million at the end of May this year. Since 2015, the production and sales volume have ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years [7].These data show that China's new energy vehicle industry is developing rapidly and taking a leading position in the global new energy vehicle industry.From the policy perspective, recently, China has formulated a series of favorable policies to promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry.The summary of 2020-2022 new-energy vehicle industry policies is shown in Table 1.

New energy passenger vehicles account for a large proportion of new energy vehicles in China, and pure electric vehicles account for the largest proportion in both new energy passenger vehicles and new energy commercial vehicles.Data show that commercial vehicles account for 5.25% of the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China, among which pure electric vehicles account for 98.48%, indicating that the promotion and application degree of new energy commercial vehicles in China is not high, and there is still a lot of room for development, and pure electric commercial vehicles will become the main form of development of electric commercial vehicles.The sales structure of new energy vehicles in 2021 is shown in Table 2.

2. Development trend

(1) Market driving has become the main driving force for development. The early stage of China's new energy vehicle development is mainly driven by policies.With the rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle market scale and the acceleration of the maturity of new energy vehicle technology, the policy-driven role will gradually weaken and the market-driven role will be further highlighted.
