Recently, Dr. Shi Bifu, CEO of ABB Group, pointed out that the 23rd Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 23) held in Bonn, Germany provided a good opportunity for policymakers It is proposed to accelerate the realization of sustainable transport by popularizing electric vehicles.
ABB Group CEO Dr. Bi Fu
China has recently become the fifth country in the world to announce a phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles, and China, like the other four countries like the United Kingdom, France, Norway and India, will push through this move to push the international community to implement the "Paris Climate Agreement." Goal.Currently China is vigorously promoting the popularization and application of zero-emission electric vehicles and renewable energy power generation and grid.
The 195 Paris Protocol Parties gathered in Bonn, Germany, to participate in the 23 rd Conference of Parties and policymakers have the opportunity to work together to further promote the development of global electric vehicles. With the breakthrough of electric vehicle technology, a large number of new electric Cars are set to come on the market in the next three years and supporting charging facilities are increasingly becoming the focus of attention, and to make EVs a truly sustainable means of transport, charging stations must use renewable energy.
The adoption of new technologies has contributed significantly to the pace of policymakers' push to popularize electric vehicles, and in the medium term, the cost of purchasing electric vehicles will not be higher than that of traditional vehicles given the rapidly declining prices associated with the increased output of electric vehicles Low operating costs make electric vehicles more popular with consumers.
Batteries are one of the key technologies for all electric vehicles and battery prices will become more affordable as battery efficiency and global demand grow. Thanks to a new generation of battery technology, electric vehicle mileage can reach 300 km (187 Mile); at the same time, the new high-power charging technology will shorten the charging time to ten minutes, get rid of the charge of the past overnight charging time on the popularity of electric vehicles.
The next question is where to find the charging station? Consumers are concerned that if electric vehicles are purchased as the primary means of personal travel, no matter how far away from home, as can now find the gas station as easy to find Charging station.This is precisely the current focus of policy makers to promote the rapid development of electric mobility.
As a technology leader, ABB is committed to developing high-power charging technologies for electric vehicles, driving charging systems to the grid, and promoting renewable energy generation and grid-connected technologies, where ABB and several other companies work with national transportation authorities, Fast charging networks for electric vehicles, electric buses and other electric vehicles ABB has applied cloud-based charging solutions to more than 50 countries around the world to charge, stream and pay for streams Real-time seamless management.
Despite industry preparedness, there is still a need for policymakers to support the growth of the electric mobility industry, and if we work together, we can apply renewable energy to electric vehicles through smart grids, making it a viable alternative to sustainable transportation Way of change.
Many policymakers recognize the new value EVs bring to the environment, public health and economy, and as a result many governments have introduced preferential policies such as subsidies and rebates to encourage consumers to buy standard EVs. At the same time, increasing investment in supporting infrastructures should not be overlooked.
Progress in the sector is still slow, with data from the European Organization for New Energy Observer (EAFO) showing only about 120,000 non-domestic charging stations across the EU, while in the United States, although pure electric and hybrid vehicles are sold Out of more than 500,000, the number of non-domestic charging stations is only about 16,000.
As one of the most active countries in the world in promoting electric vehicles, China sold more than 350,000 electric vehicles last year alone, aiming to build a total of 800,000 charging stations by the end of 2107 and plan to meet it by 2020 5 million electric vehicles demand charging network.
There is still some historical episode about the development of electric vehicles.
In 1885, Carl Benz invented the first gasoline-powered car in Mannheim, Germany, and at the same time other European inventors were inspired by the advent of lead-acid batteries and are developing the earliest electric cars.
In the first two decades of the automotive industry, battery-powered cars have outgrown fossil fuel-powered cars such as those invented by Benz, but the dramatic improvements in silencers and starters have changed the landscape, At the same time, with the rise of petrochemical companies such as the American Standard Oil Company, sales of oil products propelled petrol stations to spring up the mass market.
Now with the new advances in battery technology, EVs have the advantage of recurring, and despite the willingness of consumers and other strong market forces, there is still a need for public policies to change the traditional market-leading gas station and to ensure fast, The orderly conversion of traditional cars to electric vehicles is a new round of government initiatives that are moving in the right direction.
We can and must do something in many areas, such as tax relief for investment projects in charging facilities, development of international standards for charging agreements, provision of additional financial support for research and development of high-power charging technologies, Gas stations along the high-speed, installation of charging facilities.
The rapid development of science and technology has created a new historical opportunity for us to achieve development without over-consumption of the earth's resources.We must work together to harness the smart grid to connect cars and renewable energy to generate electricity. The long-term dependence on fossil fuels for the environment and the public The impact of health is on the rise, and it is imperative for human beings to choose new and upgraded modes of travel, and we hope that the day will come as soon as possible to achieve green transportation, eliminate urban air pollution and bid farewell to greenhouse gas emissions.
