China has become the world's largest automotive market, and the nation is
well-positioned to become a significant exporter of vehicles due to favorable
labor costs and experience in mass producing technology and energy storage
products. The Chinese government has made vehicle electrification central to
its aggressive New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan for growing the
automotive market both domestically and internationally and has created many
national and local incentives for plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) purchases.
Global automotive players have formed an unprecedented number of partnerships
and joint ventures with Chinese companies in order to gain access to this
potentially massive market.
Government projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the major
metropolitan areas are funding the installation of thousands of EV charging
stations. The country also has one of the largest lithium deposits in the
world, and therefore is likely to become a key competitor in the lithium ion
(Li-ion) battery market. Despite these favorable conditions, PEV sales have
been far below the government's goals, and international automakers have been
slow to import Li-ion batteries from China due to concerns about quality.
This Pike Research report outlines the market opportunities and challenges for
hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery
electric vehicles in China, along with an examination of EV battery and
charging infrastructure trends in the world's largest automotive market. The
report analyzes government initiatives and policy trends, technology and
standards issues, and key industry players in China. Detailed market forecasts
for each vehicle category, as well as for EV batteries and EV supply equipment
installations, extend through 2017.

Press Release
Electric Vehicle Sales in China Will Fall Short of Government Targets
November 20th, 2012
Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Electric Vehicles in China - New Energy Vehicles: HEVs, PHEVs, BEVs, EV Batteries, and Charging Infrastructure: Market Analysis and Forecasts" by Navigant Research (formerly Pike Research).
Considering electric vehicle (EV) development and adoption to be a strategic priority with major economic, environmental, and security impacts for the country, the government of China has established a goal of making China the world leader in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales. This includes a target of manufacturing 500,000 PEVs per year by 2015. According to a recent report from Pike Research, a part of Navigants Energy Practice, however, annual sales of PEVs will reach only 45,000 units by 2015, increasing to 152,000 vehicles in 2017. That figure represents less than 1 percent of the total light duty vehicle market in China.
"As of early 2012, only a few domestically produced EV models were available to Chinas general public," says research director John Gartner. "Indeed, evidence is emerging to suggest that Chinese EV manufacturers have yet to develop proven technology that can propel the market. Even though it is unlikely to reach its targets, however, Chinas EV ambitions will provide a huge boost to electric car development worldwide in the long run."
Since 2003, Chinese automakers have released or announced the production of 40 battery electric vehicles and 31 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that will be on the market by 2015. Chinese vehicle manufacturers such as BYD, SAIC, and Foton all delivered hybrids or PEVs to the market by 2011. Among foreign automakers, Japanese and American manufacturers - including General Motors, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota - were early entrants to the PEV market, while European suppliers have yet to announce PEV launch plans for China.
The report, "Electric Vehicles in China", outlines the market opportunities and challenges for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles in China, and provides an examination of EV battery and charging infrastructure trends in the worlds largest automotive market. The report analyzes government initiatives and policy trends, technology and standards issues, and key industry players in China. Detailed market forecasts for each vehicle category, as well as for EV batteries and EV supply equipment installations, extend through 2017.
