The electric vehicle index compares the competitiveness of electric vehicles in Germany, France, Italy, the United States, Japan, China and South Korea, focusing on three key indicators: technology, industrial development and market. China has achieved the first place in the industrial development indicators, the second place in the market indicators, the fifth in the technical indicators, and the overall score first. This is the first time China has ranked first in the electric vehicle index rankings.
Roland Berger partner Wolfgang Bernhart said: "The rise of China's electric vehicles has great help from government support and subsidies." "In addition, we have noticed that there are many high-tech emerging Start-up companies in the Chinese auto market, they are rich. Financial support, mainly for the luxury car market." These emerging companies have a lot in common: investors are rich in funds, from senior automakers to senior managers, they have multiple R&D centers, and their business operations are advanced and innovative.
Roland Berger expert Stefan Riederle said that these emerging companies in China have already threatened traditional automakers: "European traditional car companies must be more flexible in China," otherwise they will not be able to catch up with China's development. “Traditional development of product processes takes seven years, and it is no longer possible to keep up with the current era. Auto companies should be faster, more flexible, and more innovative.â€
Germany was surpassed by France for the first time in terms of technical indicators, ranking second. In the first quarter of the index rankings still tied for first place with France. The main reason for not being low in France is that German car companies offer more hybrid vehicles, and electric vehicles have lower scores. The German car companies' electric vehicle products have declined slightly in terms of technology.
Alexander Busse, consultant of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute of the Aachen University of Technology, said that the number of electric vehicles produced by German car companies has increased significantly. However, since Germany does not have a local production of electric vehicle batteries, it ranked fourth after the industrial development index ranked in Japan.
