CCTV News: In the first half of the year, new energy vehicles continued to grow rapidly, and production and sales volumes achieved high growth of more than 40% year-on-year. Behind this, the problems of battery life and charging anxiety have gradually stopped plaguing consumers. Ms. Lu, who works in Beijing, just spent more than 200,000 yuan to purchase a 7-seat hybrid new energy vehicle in June this year. She told reporters that because her hometown is in Changchun, there is often a need for long-distance round trips. The range of the new car has been greatly improved compared to previous years, and charging outside is also very convenient.

Outside this car store, a row of newly built high-power fast charging piles have just been put into use this year.

CCTV reporter Ning Kun: The charging pile next to me now is an 800-volt high-voltage liquid-cooled super charging pile. A pure electric vehicle with a range of 650 kilometers can be fully charged in less than half an hour when it is connected to it. The further convenience of charging infrastructure has also made more consumers willing to buy new energy vehicles now.

In the production factory of a car company in Wuhan, Hubei, new energy vehicles are being removed one after another. In the first half of the year, their sales increased by 85% year-on-year. As the number of vehicles sold increases, car companies are also accelerating the layout and construction of their own ultra-fast charging networks nationwide.

Data shows that the current average range of new energy vehicles in my country has reached nearly 500 kilometers, 12.818 million charging piles have been built, and fast charging technology with 80% charging in 15 minutes has been mass-produced and applied. In the first half of this year, the sales of new energy vehicles reached 44.3% of the total sales of new cars, further increasing.
