7.2.China’s Ambitions for Electric Cars Energy and Sustainable DevelopmentSS 2011 Margit Baier Bianca Köck Maria Spanring
Contents • China’s ambitions • China & Electric Cars • China & Rare Resources • Electric Cars – Today • Future of Electric Cars • Pros & Cons
CHINA's Ambitions • Extreme growth of population , economy and wealth • rising need and demand for mobility • need for more and more energy! • Today: 70 % of energy from coal environmental problems!
CHINA's Ambitions • New energy-infrastructure • Nuclear-stations • Increase also renewable energy • China’s government wants: energy consumption per capita -20%BUT: per capita income from 1.000 $ to 3.000 $
CHINA's Ambitions • Reduction of CO2 –Emissions • Reduce old coal-fired stations • Development of electric vehicles • China’s resources • Best requirements to get the leader in the development of electric cars • Biggest resources of rare-earth • Used for the electric motors • Used for the battery in electric cars
China & Electric Cars • Government wants position of market leadership • Investments of about € 11,7 billion • For each e-car sold: 6.700 € subsidy !!! • Big research: BYD 250 km per charge monthly savings of 788 € charge takes only 20 minutes
China & Electric Cars • Advantages of China: • Key skills concerning e-cars in Asia • Raw materials for battery production in China available • Cheap production possible (salaries, production sites, …) • Expert knowledge
China & Rare Resources • Critical Materials • Metals which are used in manufacturing wind turbines, electric vehicles, solar cells and energy-efficient lighting • China produces 95% of the world supply • China cut back the export rate dramatically • China has an enormous demand • Growth of the high-tech industry • World wide: Car industry needs the rare - earth
Developement of Electric Cars in China • Extremely big market of electric cars • Electric cars are the future! • Market leader in electric cars and hybrid cars • Enormous subventions from the government • Many big researches: • Electric cars as taxi • Electric bus • Testing the batteries for kilometers an load volume
Electric Vehicles - Today • Wide range of different motor types • Every big car producer: electric car projects • discussion about Climate Change and Emissions spotlight the electric car as a solution for rising needs for mobility • Especially fast growing economies and populations !!! CHINA in the Focus
Future of Electric Cars • global growth of personal wealth and population rise in need for mobility environmentally friendly alternatives inevitable !!! • very good alternative : E-CARS!!! • in combination with new energy systems and smart grids (V2G) big potentials!!! • China’s government initiative promoting electric cars spread of e-mobility in China nearly guaranteed
Electric Vehicles – Pros … • Much higher efficiency compared to combustion engines (up to 90 % ) Efficiency just ~ 25 %
Electric Vehicles – Pros … • No emissions during operation • Possibility for renewable electricity production • Big potential to change energy system!! • Especially in combination with “Vehicle to Grid”- Systems (V2G)
Electric Vehicles - Cons • Higher Prices • Knowledge deficits of mechanics & garage density • Limited Range (only up to 240 km) • Additional weight through batteries • Long recharging time • Outsourcing of negative effects (!!!) • Not (yet) available infrastructure: specific parking lots for each car needed!
