"New energy vehicles are the only way for China to move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country, and electrification, intelligence and low-carbon are the core path to build a strong new energy vehicle technology country. Under the globalization layout, new energy vehicles have become the main products for China to occupy the international market." At the 2026 annual experts' media exchange meeting of the Car Industry Council Research Institute, Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the CAS Member, shared the industrialization process and future trend of new energy vehicles. By 2035, the proportion of new energy passenger vehicles in China will reach 75% -85%, with pure electric vehicles accounting for 70%. ”In Ouyang Minggao's view, the automotive industry will embark on a new cycle of high-quality development led by innovation in 2026. In this new cycle, innovation will dominate the market, and the following model will fail; Industry safety supervision is becoming stricter, and the technical threshold is increasing. Regarding the highly anticipated all solid state battery, Ouyang Minggao frankly stated that China is catching up in this field, with the number of newly disclosed patents surpassing Japan by 2025, accounting for 44% of the world's total. However, the technological threshold for all solid state batteries is extremely high, facing multiple challenges such as interfaces and electrodes, and their industrialization requires a process. At the end of this year and next year, there will be some test cars equipped with all solid state batteries, but large-scale production is likely to take another 3 to 5 years. "He suggested that consumers" don't wait, "as current electric vehicles are already very good. Standing at the starting point of the 15th Five Year Plan, where will new energy vehicles go in the next five years? Ouyang Minggao systematically elaborated on seven technological innovation directions, namely full process safety, full climate supercharging, fully autonomous driving, full line chassis control, all solid state batteries, high efficiency under all operating conditions, and fully functional electric vehicles. When it comes to the development of the new energy vehicle industry in 10 years, Ouyang Minggao believes that with the advancement of technology, the advantages of pure electric drive new energy vehicles will become increasingly prominent. The efficiency of using green electricity in electric vehicles is twice that of green hydrogen vehicles and four times that of electric synthesis fuel internal combustion engine vehicles. He further predicted that electric vehicles will truly evolve into the 2.0 and 3.0 era of "vehicle energy integration", not only as a means of transportation, but also as a vehicle body power generation and battery energy storage, achieving zero or even negative costs (which can make money). The reporter learned from the meeting that from April 11th to 12th, the Chebaihui Research Institute will hold a high-level forum on the development of intelligent electric vehicles in Beijing (2026), with the theme of "promoting the intelligent, green, integrated, and international development of new energy vehicles", focusing on the global and Chinese development situation of new energy vehicles, the development trend of intelligent connected vehicles, and topics such as artificial intelligence+automobiles for discussion.
