What impact will the new national standard have on the electric vehicle industry?

The electric bicycle market is developing rapidly and has great potential. With the rapid development of electric bicycles, the motorcycle industry has been severely squeezed, and electric bicycles have undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the motorcycle industry. Therefore, despite the opposition of the electric bicycle industry, the National Standards Committee issued the General Technical Conditions for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Mopeds, which stipulates that "electric bicycles with a speed of more than 40 kilograms per hour and a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour are called light electric motorcycles or electric motorcycles and classified as motor vehicles". According to public reports, the new national standard "General Technical Requirements for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Mopeds" was jointly formulated by the Electric Vehicle Sub-standard Committee and the Motorcycle Sub-standard Committee of the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee.

Ma Guilong, a professor of Tsinghua University and the chief expert of China Bicycle Association, has publicly stated that "the new national standard for electric motorcycles is dominated by the motorcycle industry. As an expert in the electric vehicle industry, I did not participate in the work of this standard. " Zhang Ming, a well-known commentator and professor of China Renmin University, also wrote on his blog: "With the introduction of this standard, road safety may be just an excuse, a grand excuse. Under this excuse, in fact, motorcycle manufacturers have taken a fancy to the huge market of electric bicycles and want to replace them with electric motorcycles. " Professor Zhang Ming questioned: "The production standard of a product belongs to the scope of public policy. However, the introduction of the electric motorcycle standard did not ask the insiders, nor did it care about the life and death of electric bicycle companies, nor did it care about the wishes of consumers ... What is this policy called? "

According to the latest regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, enterprises that have obtained motorcycle licenses must meet the following conditions: the total investment of the project is not less than 200 million yuan, the investment in fixed assets (excluding intangible assets such as land use rights) is not less than 654.38 billion yuan, and the investment in equipment is not less than 80 million yuan; The registered capital shall not be less than 80 million yuan. Only a few electric bicycle companies meet the requirements, while many motorcycle companies meet the standards. In the face of the new national standard for electric bicycles, many motorcycle manufacturers have begun to lay out, and even the electric vehicle products of many motorcycle companies have surfaced and will be put on the market immediately after the introduction of the new national standard.

According to statistics, the enterprises that have obtained the qualification of electric motorcycle are: Yadea, Emma, etc. There are also a number of electric bicycle companies applying. It is estimated that there are only about 20 electric bicycle enterprises that finally obtain the qualification of electric motorcycle production. Facing the growing trend of electric bicycle industry, the market sales of electric motorcycles will exceed 70%, and we will wait and see where the electric bicycle industry will go.
