　　The importance of green environmental protection has gradually been realized by people. The relevant emission restriction policies have become more and more stringent, and electric vehicles are becoming the focus of the world. France and the United Kingdom have announced that they will ban gasoline vehicles before 2040. China is promoting the development of the electric vehicle industry, which means that China will also ban the use of fuel-guzzling vehicles in the near future.

　　Lithium-ion batteries are an important part of electric vehicles in the future. Analysts believe that their prices will become cheaper and cheaper, leading to lower prices for electric vehicles. However, although the global electric vehicle revolution is coming, its timetable may not accelerate too much.

　　The key point is that the cost of electric vehicles is lower than that of fuel-burning vehicles, which means that the cost of battery packs needs to continue to fall, but the analysis believes that the price of lithium batteries and other components may increase in the future. Of course, it is still possible to reduce costs through mass production.

　　Today’s gasoline cars do not have to worry about running out of fuel wherever they go, and electric cars have not yet reached such conditions. Sufficient power grid is a prerequisite for electric vehicles to take off. It will take a long time to install charging facilities from cities to towns and even remote villages.

　　Relevant data shows that there are about 16,000 charging piles in the United States, while China will reach about 150,000. This figure shows that China will be the world leader. Beijing plans to advance its charging station network to meet the demand for 5 million electric vehicles by 2020, and China is striving to become a leader in electric vehicle manufacturing.

　　But industry experts believe that if there is not enough power supply in the future, various power curtailments may occur, and increasing the supply of charging points from the existing power grid may cost a lot of money.
