Fifteen cities across China have become pilots for \u201cfull electrification of public sector vehicles\u201d, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and seven other ministries have announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notice did not mention a specific timeline, but it echoes a national plan<\/a> on electric vehicle (EV) development that aims to electrify all public vehicles nationwide by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 15 cities include the largest, such as Beijing and Shenzhen, as well as medium-sized cities in all parts of the country, such as Chongqing in the south-west and Changchun in the north-east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to get a total of 600,000 electric public sector vehicles on the cities\u2019 roads, the notice states. \u201cPublic sector vehicles\u201d covers buses, sanitation vehicles, taxis, postal vans, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, EVs make up about 10% of such vehicles nationwide, behind the 30% overall market penetration, MIIT representative Zhao Shijia told Xinhua<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhao also said that, with the notice issued, the variety and frequent use of public vehicles will have a\u00a0\u201cstrong leading effect on the spread of electrification\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China has witnessed a surge in electric bus adoption in recent years. Between 2014 and 2022, the number increased<\/a> from 37,000 to 529,000, according to the China Academy of Transportation Sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pursuit of entirely electric public mobility brings challenges. Notably, certain cities on the pilot list, like Changchun, face extremely cold winter weather, posing issues for battery performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some experts believe that such hurdles will drive innovation in the EV industry and along the supply chain, says Xinhua<\/a>. \u201cWe are intensifying the development of the R&D centre for EVs, persistently working on enhancing range capabilities and reducing costs,\u201d\u00a0an automobile company manager told Xinhua.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also anticipated that the pilot programmes will spur additional infrastructure development. The plan includes the construction of over 700,000 charging piles and 7,800 battery-switching stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
