Electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars have long been a hot topic in the automotive industry. Everyone agrees that the era of new energy vehicles is fast approaching. Not only do they meet national environmental standards, but many people also believe that the cost of operating electric vehicles is lower than that of conventional cars. As a result, both domestic and international companies are showing great interest in this sector, with foreign automakers eyeing China’s vast consumer market with particular enthusiasm.
Domestic manufacturers have also shared their perspectives on the future of electric vehicles. For example, Geely Automobile has set an ambitious target to increase the sales ratio of new energy vehicles to 90% by 2020. Meanwhile, Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, suggested that China may soon phase out fuel vehicle production and sales, highlighting the urgency of the transition.
Traditional vehicles rely heavily on imported fuel, with over 60% of China’s fuel supply coming from abroad. This not only consumes foreign exchange but also brings pollution, effectively using foreign currency to purchase environmental damage. Replacing traditional vehicles with electric ones could significantly reduce fuel imports and foreign exchange spending, making it a strategic move for energy security and sustainability.
But how can electric vehicles truly replace fuel vehicles? What challenges must be overcome, and how long will the process take? These are critical questions that require thorough analysis. Although there are many electric vehicle manufacturers and substantial investments, the actual ability of these vehicles to replace traditional models remains limited. Often, their success depends more on policy support than on technological innovation or practical functionality. If subsidies are reduced, it's unclear whether these companies will still have the motivation and capability to sustain themselves.
Many electric vehicle manufacturers lack real technological capabilities and fail to compete effectively with traditional vehicles. At the core of this issue is battery technology—safety, stability, and efficiency remain major concerns. Without significant breakthroughs in battery development, electric vehicles will struggle to fully replace their fuel-powered counterparts. Additionally, production costs for electric vehicles are still higher than those of traditional cars, and many companies are overly reliant on government subsidies rather than genuine R&D efforts.
Producing electric vehicles without real innovation can lead to two serious problems. First, it misleads investment decisions and harms public policy. Allowing unqualified companies to benefit from subsidies encourages complacency and discourages true innovation. Second, it creates opportunities for global automotive giants. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers lack core technologies and competitive advantages, while international brands focus on advanced technology, design, and craftsmanship. This gap could become a fatal disadvantage once foreign companies enter the Chinese market.
History has already shown us the dangers of over-reliance on subsidies. The photovoltaic industry faced severe overcapacity and market collapse due to similar practices. If the electric vehicle industry continues down the same path, it could face even greater risks.
With the growing emphasis on economic development and environmental protection, promoting electric vehicles is clearly a trend. However, behind this trend lies fierce competition, and behind that competition is the need for superior technology and design—areas where Chinese automakers still lag behind. Most companies are focused on receiving subsidies rather than driving real innovation. Changing subsidy policies to encourage technological advancement, design improvements, and functional upgrades is essential for long-term success and sustainable growth.
