Author: Chen Cheng On February 14 local time, the European Parliament in Strasbourg voted 340 in favour, 279 against, and 21 abstained, and passed the 2035 European Zero Emission Agreement for New Fuel Fired Cars and Minivans reached between the European Commission and the European Council. After that, the agreement will be submitted to the European Council for adoption and final implementation. It is understood that the goal of the agreement is to stop selling new fuel cars and minivans in the 27 countries of the European Union in 2035. According to the 15-year service life of ordinary household light vehicles, this ban will ensure that the EU will achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The comprehensive ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in EU countries in the future is a huge plan for environmental protection. In China, over the past few years, discussions on the establishment of a timetable for the prohibition of the sale of fuel vehicles have not stopped. Under the severe situation of global warming and the realistic background that the natural reserves of fossil energy needed by fuel vehicles will be exhausted in a hundred years, the development of new energy vehicles is the general trend. In recent years, the Chinese government has launched a package of policies at various levels to actively encourage people to choose to consume new energy vehicles. According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Public Security in January this year, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 13.1 million, accounting for 4.10% of the total number of vehicles, with a year-on-year increase of 67.13%, showing a rapid growth trend. Among them, the total number of pure electric vehicles is 10.45 million, accounting for 79.78% of the total number of new energy vehicles. In the future, new energy vehicles will gradually replace fuel vehicles and become the mainstream choice of people's car travel. This time, the European Parliament has made clear the timetable for the prohibition of the sale of fuel vehicles in EU countries, which will also affect the long-term planning for the prohibition of the sale of fuel vehicles in China to a certain extent. At this moment, we have to ask the question again: Are we ready to meet the replacement of fuel vehicles with new energy vehicles? As the above data shows, at present, China's new energy vehicles are mainly pure electric vehicles, and almost all of these pure electric new energy vehicles choose lithium-ion power batteries as their power supply. In recent years, in the social news related to the consumption of new energy vehicles, the problem of the significant reduction in the range of vehicles in winter caused by the characteristics of lithium-ion power batteries continues to attract attention. China has a vast territory, and the temperature in autumn and winter is below 0 ℃. At the moment when there are more and more new energy vehicles, winter endurance anxiety will be an important factor affecting the popularization of new energy vehicles. Whether the charging piles are fully equipped is another important factor affecting the popularity of new energy vehicles. Fuel vehicles need to be refueled, and new energy vehicles need to be recharged. The refueling process of fuel vehicles only takes a few minutes, while the charging process of new energy vehicles takes several hours. With the gradual popularization of new energy vehicles, charging piles should be included in the urban infrastructure construction to ensure that the number of charging piles matches the number of new energy vehicles in the city, and to achieve the universal charging socket and fast charging protocol. The reality is that it is difficult for charging piles to enter the community, and there are contradictions in peak demand for charging piles in public areas. In particular, it is difficult to charge in the expressway service area, which makes many consumers define new energy vehicles as urban commuter vehicles. The above problems are the most common and prominent problems in the popularization and development of new energy vehicles in recent years. In addition, the frequent occurrence of new energy vehicles
