What is the proportion of new energy vehicles?

5%. Below is the relevant introduction: Proportion: The production and sales of new energy vehicles in China have grown from tens of thousands initially to over a million. Data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in 2020, China's total vehicle sales reached 25.311 million, of which new energy vehicle sales accounted for 1.367 million, representing 5.4% of total sales. In 2019, the proportion was 4.68%. 5% is widely recognized as the critical point for new energy vehicles transitioning from the introduction phase to the growth phase. In 2020, China's new energy vehicles officially crossed the introduction phase and entered the growth phase, achieving qualitative change. Brand Power Reshaping: Another characteristic emerging in the new energy vehicle sector is the reshaping of brand power. In the traditional automotive era, the competitive strength of automakers was mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the cycle of launching new models; second, the market popularity of new models, i.e., monthly sales volume; and third, the brand influence of the company. These three aspects determined the competitiveness of automakers and formed a long-term stable competitive landscape. However, with the advent of the new energy vehicle era, the brand power of automakers has begun to reshape.
Speaking of the proportion of new energy vehicles, I've recently studied a lot of data and found that it's growing rapidly worldwide. For example, in China, last year's sales of new energy vehicles accounted for about 30% of total vehicle sales, meaning roughly one out of every three cars sold was either pure electric or hybrid. This is due to policy support such as purchase tax exemptions, fuel savings for owners, and the rapid development of charging infrastructure. The global average proportion is around 15-20%, with significant contributions from Tesla and Chinese brands like BYD. I estimate that by 2030, this proportion could exceed 50%, as consumers now prefer these vehicles for their quiet operation and environmental friendliness, while technology continues to improve. In the future, electric vehicles will become increasingly common on the roads, gradually replacing traditional gasoline cars, but charging speed and range remain key challenges that need continuous optimization.
Market data shows a steady rise in the proportion of new energy vehicles. To my knowledge, the penetration rate in the Chinese market reached around 32% in 2023, meaning over 30% of new car sales were electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Globally, the share stands at approximately 17% and continues to climb. This trend is driven by policy incentives such as subsidies and carbon neutrality goals, while fluctuating oil prices are also prompting more people to switch to electric mobility. In the industry, BYD and Tesla lead the way, and the expansion of charging station networks has made EV usage more convenient. However, challenges like high costs and battery recycling still need to be addressed. As an everyday observer, I believe the proportion will keep growing and may eventually dominate the roads, which would benefit carbon emission reduction—a trend worth long-term attention.
