However, what kind of pure electric vehicle does Chinese consumers like? What kind of battery is the safest? How many kilometers is the most suitable? How to perfect battery replacement or charging? This series of specific operational issues has yet to find answers in Honda's experiment.

It is understood that this time, Honda's validation experiment in Guangzhou includes two aspects: the first is the road driving test in the actual traffic environment; the second is the actual cruising range and charging mode (frequency and location, etc.) of a charging. Suggest the best charging infrastructure construction.

It is reported that Guangzhou has built a small number of electric vehicle charging facilities and plans to build nearly 1,500 charging piles in the near future. By 2015, Guangzhou will build 61 bus charging stations with over 80,000 charging stations.

Subsidies and ancillary charging equipment determine sales Although Guangzhou has not yet introduced a subsidy standard for new energy vehicles for individuals, but during the promotion of new energy vehicles, Guangzhou Municipal Finance has arranged 800 million yuan for the research, development, demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles.

Honda electric car has not yet announced the price, but if the newly listed BYD e6 pioneer pure electric car price of 368,800 yuan, if only the country's 60,000 yuan subsidy price is obviously not high. “Therefore, how the government will introduce complementary subsidy measures for pure electric vehicles and how to improve the supporting charging equipment will determine the future sales of pure electric vehicles in the Guangzhou market,” commented one senior automotive marketing expert.

Previously, the pure electric car market has always been applauded. BYD's total sales of new energy vehicles in 2010 were less than 500 vehicles, and its sales revenue was less than 43 million yuan. Among them, pure electric vehicles only sold 53 vehicles, and another plug-in hybrid vehicle sold 365 vehicles. The purely electric vehicles produced locally in Guangzhou are expected to be brought to market in 2012!

On November 8th, the launching ceremony of the Guangzhou validation test for the Honda electric vehicle was held in Haixinsha, Guangzhou. This is the first test project for a pure electric vehicle led by a joint venture in the Chinese automotive industry. The project will be operated by the Japanese Honda, Guangzhou Automobile Group and Guangzhou Automobile Honda under the support of the Guangzhou Municipal Government. Yesterday, Gan Xin, deputy mayor of Guangzhou City, said at the launch ceremony that Guangzhou had a clear plan for new energy vehicles. The Guangzhou municipal government will strongly support Honda's goal of producing electric vehicles at Guangzhou Automobile's Honda in 2012.

The new electric vehicle uses Fit as a platform. In pure electric vehicles, the Chinese market has been dominated by BYD and other private companies before. However, due to battery technology restrictions and the follow-up of social support measures, pure electric vehicles are The lives of the people are still far away. However, the Guangzhou municipal government introduced Honda Japan this time and would like to use Honda's advanced technology in pure electric power to produce local electric vehicles in Guangzhou and mass production in 2012.

Yesterday, Gan Xin, the deputy mayor of Guangzhou, stated at the launch ceremony that after years of development, Guangzhou has become the largest automotive production base in southern China, and the automobile industry has also become one of the three pillar industries in Guangzhou. However, the development of the automotive industry, caused by the shortage of energy also caused the attention of the Guangzhou municipal government. Gan Xin said that during the tenth five-year period, Guangzhou City has already begun to actively develop new energy vehicles, and has taken the development of new energy automotive industry, accelerated the promotion and application of new energy vehicles as a priority for the development of strategic emerging industries, and promoted energy conservation, emission reduction, and low construction. An important project of the carbon society comes to grips.

According to the general idea of ​​new energy vehicle development formulated by Guangzhou City, Guangzhou will rely on the existing automobile leading enterprises, focus on the development of self-owned brands of electric vehicles, and actively guide the products of new energy vehicles with mature technologies abroad to achieve industrialization in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou validation test of the Honda electric vehicle is also one of the steps for the development of new energy vehicles in Guangzhou.

It is reported that the Honda electric vehicle will be tested in Guangzhou to FIT (fit) as a platform, equipped with advanced lithium-ion batteries, the use of 200V power supply charging time less than 6 hours, a charge of cruising range up to 150km or more, the maximum speed 144 Kilometers. It can also be charged at home with an ordinary socket.

For local battery manufacturers, it is difficult to press Guangzhou's new energy vehicle development plan and strive to produce mature new energy automotive products by 2015, with scale production conditions and an annual production capacity of more than 150,000 new energy vehicles. However, public data shows that by 2012, Guangzhou New Energy Vehicles had only 2,600 vehicles for demonstration and promotion in the four major areas of public transportation, sanitation, postal services, and official and social passenger vehicles. In other words, in the remaining three years, it is very urgent to form an annual capacity of 150,000 new energy vehicles.

Yesterday, the head of the Honda China Department, Kurashiki Seishi, said in an interview with the Southern Capital Reporter that pure electric vehicles in the Chinese market failed to open sales, mainly due to high manufacturing costs, and battery technology was not mature at the same time. It revealed that "so far, as far as the battery factories Honda has examined have been concerned, China is still unable to have a manufacturer that is suitable for producing Honda pure electric vehicle batteries."

It is reported that the Honda electric vehicle battery that was tested in Guangzhou was imported from Japan. The production and transportation costs are very high. In order to develop a pure electric vehicle suitable for Chinese consumers, the pure electric vehicle battery produced in Guangzhou in 2012 must be made in China. . Masahiro Shiraishi said that in the future, Honda will introduce its core technology products such as batteries and circuit boards for its pure electric vehicles in China.
