SHANGHAI International Automobile City, China's pilot area for electric vehicle development, aims to have 1,000 electric vehicles running in the area next year as it expands a demonstration program to help the city drive to a green future.
The Auto City in Jiading District is China's demonstration zone for electric vehicles with more than 16 new energy vehicles manufactured by 10 carmakers running on a test-drive program. In April this year, the first batch of 10 pure EVs were handed over to individual customers.
Rong Wenwei, general manager of the Shanghai International Automobile City Group, said individual customers would be a major drive force to expand the EV fleet next year, fueled by a subsidy scheme that may be unveiled in the first half of 2012.
The Auto City plans to build four charging stations and 2,000 charging poles by the end of next year when 20 models and 30 electric buses will operate in the area under the test-drive project.
Shanghai also plans to offer up to 40,000 yuan (US$6,250) in subsidies to individuals to buy EVs under a proposed industrial blueprint.
Next year, the Roewe E50 electric car and Roewe 550 plug-in hybrid sedan made by SAIC Motor Corp will hit the market.
China has prioritized the expansion of the EV demonstration work as crucial to promote energy-saving models despite teething difficulties such as the high price of EVs and under-developed infrastructure.
The focus on EVs is part of Shanghai's efforts to develop nine strategic industries, which may generate a total revenue of 1.8 trillion yuan by the end of 2015, or one-third of the city's total industrial output by then, according to Ma Jing, chief engineer of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission.
