The revised national standard or the end of the year before the introduction of charging

Tesla, as the purest electric vehicle most concerned about in the market, had actively sought China's relevant support policies, but was unexpectedly excluded from the list of the first batch of new-energy automobile models exempted from purchase tax on August 29th. .

Because of the high price, Tesla values ​​the purchase tax relief preferentially. Tesla, who was neglected for the first time, explained that China’s inclusion of support conditions and the Teslabi policy entered the market first, so it could not meet the conditions.

In fact, the BYD e6 and JAC Joy iEV models that Bitsella first entered the Chinese market have successfully entered the catalogue. The deeper reason behind this is that China already has standards for the whole chain of electric vehicles, infrastructure, and battery processing. Tesla and this standard have large gaps.

The new standard unified disputes and vague areas On September 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information released information that the overall standard system for China's electric vehicles has been basically established, and many standards will serve as the technical support and basis for the access management of new energy vehicles. In many national support policies, electric vehicle standards are also directly used as the basis for examining whether products meet the requirements of incentive policies.

"Tesla did not enter the purchase tax relief list and has already transmitted a signal that the subsidies must meet the national technical standards and charging communication protocol standards, etc. The standard system has been incorporated into the government's management documents and can be considered mandatory. "The deputy director of the China Electricity Council Standardization Center and the Secretary-General of the Standardization Technical Committee of the Electric Vehicle Charging Facility in the Energy Industry Liu Yongdong told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter on September 22.

Generally speaking, the preparation of a certain standard has to go through three drafts. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are currently 23 items that have completed the final procedure - approval of the draft and will soon be approved for publication.

The orderly support of the new energy automotive industry through a complete standard system is the premise for the competition between China's new energy automotive industry and international powers. With the exception of Tesla, which is a separate standard system, unable to access the catalogue, Japanese new energy vehicles such as the Prius with Japanese Standard System are also excluded from the purchase tax rebate.

According to the information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has officially issued 75 standards for electric vehicles, covering key areas such as basic electric vehicles, complete vehicles, and electrical control of battery motors, infrastructure, charging interfaces, and communication protocols. The classification and definition, test methods and technical requirements for dynamic economic safety, stipulate technical conditions for key components such as battery motors, standardize charging infrastructure construction, and harmonize charging interfaces and communication protocols between vehicles and facilities.

At present, there are 77 standards for electric vehicles that are currently being revised, including 16 amendments to existing standards, and 61 new standards for infrastructure planning and design, construction and operation, and battery recycling. Of these standards, 23 have been completed and submitted for approval. They will be approved for release soon.

Because it directly affects the marketing effect of new energy vehicles, the most concerned about all revised standards is the charging standard. Proposals for amendments to the charging standard are awaiting the official establishment of the National Standardization Committee. Completion of the drafting of the required standards requires three drafts of drafts, drafts, and approvals. During the same period, public comments are requested for one and a half months. It will not be completed until the end of the year.

"A lot of Chinese companies will be able to control and control most of the technical indicators as long as they meet the 2011 standards. After revision, they will have better compatibility with charging." Liu Yongdong's statement means that even if the new revision is not issued, companies can rest assured that they will follow the previous guidelines. Versions develop charging facilities and technologies.

Supporting China's Standards Even though China and China have adopted completely different standards, Tesla has not stopped its expansion in the Chinese market. On September 19, Tesla formally announced that it will enter the Chengdu market in the western city and deliver vehicles to users.

Tesla announced that it has built the largest supercharging station in western China, which can accommodate up to six Tesla fast-chargers. In addition, it will also deploy eight destination charging stations in Chengdu. In April of this year, CEO Musk visited the Chinese market, Tesla accelerated the layout of charging facilities. At present, Tesla has built 17 super charging stations in mainland China, and deployed over 380 destinations in 55 cities and regions across the country. Charging piles.

According to industry insiders, the large-scale deployment of such charging facilities that only serve the brand will lead to irrational use of resources. “Other brands still need to duplicate charging facilities in the areas they cover. If every brand does this, it will cause huge waste of land, charging parking spaces, etc.”

Wu Bijun, president of Tesla China, told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter earlier that China's charging standard communication protocol has some options. It was one of the reasons why Tesla did not adopt Chinese standards at the beginning of its entry. "Tesla's engineers and technicians are studying how to convert to Chinese standards, but this will take time."

While Tesla had communicated with the government several times during the development of a new energy purchase tax reduction access list, it still failed to enter. The interpretation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is that the standards for electric vehicles, especially the standards for test methods, have unified the test benchmarks in the list of recommended models of new energy vehicles, state subsidy policies, 863 issues, and the initiation and acceptance of innovative projects. In addition, in the new energy vehicle tax concessions, vehicle purchase tax exemption policy, but also directly use electric vehicle standards as the basis for auditing products to meet the requirements of incentives.
