Ministry of Transport: Improving the Energy Supplement System to Promote Autonomous Driving.

Recently, the Ministry of Transport issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Construction of New Infrastructure in the Transportation Sector”, and there are two main points in the planning for the new energy field.

  1. About autonomous driving: continuously promote research and development application of autonomous driving (including but not limited to) and build national-level autonomous driving test scenes, improve testing evaluation system, and enhance testing and verification capabilities.

  2. About charging facilities: guide the construction of ultra-fast charging and high-power electric vehicle charging facilities in service areas on key highways in urban agglomerations. Encourage the reasonable layout of photovoltaic power generation facilities in service areas, slopes and other road sections along with the grid power supply.

These two plans will help the development of new energy intelligent vehicles, especially the current most criticized new energy vehicle power supplement system. It is undoubtedly limited for companies to grow at a single speed, and cost issues are particularly prominent. With the help of policies, the power supplement system of new energy vehicles is believed to be able to move up to the next level faster.
