On March 17, the official version of the 2016 government work report issued under the authorization of Xinhua News Agency proposed that "vigorously develop and promote new energy vehicles dominated by electric vehicles, and speed up the construction of urban parking lots and charging facilities." This means that compared with other new energy vehicles, electric vehicles will become the main force of the development of new energy vehicles. The position of electric vehicles in the development of new energy vehicles has been confirmed.

  In China, new energy vehicles generally include pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles and other fuel vehicles. Fuel cell vehicles have not been put into a large number of commercial use. In the current statistical sales of new energy vehicles, the sales of pure electric vehicles occupy a leading position.
