As the related technology is not yet mature, and parts production for the time being can not form a scale, so the high price of electric vehicles. BYD F3DM version as much as 169,800 yuan low carbon price, has more than double the normal price of more than F3 cars.


    After several delays, finally listed BYD F3DM low-carbon version and for individual sale. BYD official explained that the reason for the delay was due to wait for the State's policy on the introduction of new energy subsidies, and denied earlier media reports that BYD to give up mass-produced electric car talk.


    Delay new energy subsidies to the electric car market sales prospects increased uncertainty in the battery technology, social facilities, policies are not in place to support the case, the electric car is still a long road to popularity.

    An unnamed automotive analyst said in an interview, BYD F3DM for personal sales, to some extent reflects the development of electric cars, BYD's determination, but the current environment, BYD This was more "play the concept of" main purpose is to rely on "image projects" to bring the traditional car sales.

    Target sales of 1,000 vehicles this year, only


    Two weeks ago, postponed several times in the time to market, after market sales for personal BYD F3DM low carbon version finally appeared.


    F3DM the use of electric and conventional dual-mode drive technology, energy, equipped with 1.0L engines, the official price of 169 800, will take to promote sales of certified sales of the model. Subject to capacity constraints and domestic BYD most other cities in the lack of charging stations and other facilities, F3DM currently only sold in Shenzhen, the future will be at the right time across the country.


    Recently, this reporter made a Shenzhen BYD brand dealership learned, F3DM low carbon version of the vehicle has to store and accept reservations, but so far only sold 12. 4S stores in Beijing BYD no F3DM like cars, when there is no clear timetable for the sale.


    BYD official declared, F3DM electric vehicles for personal sales are popular ice-breaking move, but analysts point out that subject to cost, the price of electric vehicles currently still unrealistically high, and the country not yet on the new energy subsidies introduced, F3DM sales outlook.


    BYD itself, even for low-carbon version F3DM sales model is not optimistic about this year, the company expects sales this year F3DM low-carbon version only 1000 or so.


    BYD Auto Sales Company vice president Wang Jianjun, acknowledges that this is the market capacity to set goals.


    He said that society is willing to pay people to buy environmentally friendly cars in the end how many still unknown, and new energy vehicles currently covered by individual subsidies only 5 cities, considering the subsidy in place of the time, the use of the environment and issues such as convenience, 1000 sales goal is rational.


    BYD is the concept of the play?


    "Zaochu an electric car is not difficult, the difficulty is Zaochu low cost, security, environmental protection and into the bulk of the electric car, the relevant technical bottlenecks, high cost and mass production facilities are an obstacle to electric cars." BYD insiders frankly, the domestic large-scale development of new energy vehicles time not to, but F3DM low-carbon version of the introduction of that BYD will never give up mass production of electric vehicles.


    This reporter learned that the German auto company Daimler Motor Company has signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop the Chinese market areas and sales of electric vehicles. In addition, the BYD Auto Company and Volkswagen AG of Germany signed the cooperation agreement for electric cars is also advancing. Under the agreement, the two companies will hybrid vehicles and lithium batteries in electric vehicle research and development to cooperate.

State Council executive meeting on "Building Energy Conservation Ordinance (draft)" was considered, the meeting decided that the Bill to solicit the views of the community, then considered by the State Council approved and promulgated. Can be expected, "Building Energy Conservation Regulations" the promulgation and implementation, will lead a huge market, behind the birth of their great opportunities.


"Energy conservation regulations" is undoubtedly the national energy strategy, an integral part of the whole world is facing energy crisis and environmental deterioration of the situation, two types of energy saving and environmental protection products and engineering will usher in its golden era of unprecedented.


"Regulations" Article states: "The Government should actively cultivate Energy conservation ... ... services market, improve the civil service system for energy conservation, promote energy conservation technology development and application of civil buildings, good energy-saving knowledge about civil education," Article IV states: "The state encourages and support in new construction and existing building energy saving in the use of solar energy, geothermal energy and other renewable energy." government "to encourage units and individuals to install and use solar hot water system, heating system, heating and refrigeration systems other solar systems. "

Prior to the drafting of the regulations at the national, energy-saving products have been gradually relegated, energy-saving fluorescent long step people at home, while saving the LED lighting is also more widely used in the beginning. Recently, Hebei Baoding will replace all the city's street lamps to use solar energy LED lighting, alone, the investment funds reached tens of millions, the pull of the industry is not only a supplier of LED production equipment and its downstream products, such as street machines processing, manufacturing, solar cell manufacturers, battery manufacturers, construction and technical service industries, etc., if the country's medium and small cities the same action as the Baoding City, its largest market immeasurable, but this is just a number of energy saving projects one.

"Regulations" Article VIII: "The State to actively promote heating system ... ... encourage the development of central heating, the progressive introduction of the charging system in accordance with the heat." 18th Article: "The practice of heating the building should be installed indoor temperature control household device, and install sub-dong or household use of heat metering devices and heating system control device; public buildings should also install the electric sub-metering. "


Heat metering and heating system control, public buildings, electricity sub-metering, we must install the appropriate equipment, imagine the country's family and all public buildings to install such devices, the number of manufacturers have to produce equipment to meet the needs? The "Regulations" of Article 4 will be created by the market, numerous related companies came into being. In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, should be from all over the local economic and social development levels and geographical and climatic conditions, the actual situation in a planned, step by step implementation of the classification of existing energy-saving construction. Both the existing mandatory energy efficiency standards do not meet all the civil construction of the building envelope, heating system, heating and cooling systems, lighting and hot water supply facilities in full transformation.


"Building Energy Conservation Ordinance" Although still in a primitive way, but believed to have been concerned about the wealth of its business functions and properties, it will drive the implementation of numerous entrepreneurs, energy experts, managers and chairman of the board, 10 million Regal is behind the initiation.

Bid to Beijing as an exam





It is understood that more than 5,000 in the country in solar energy equipment manufacturing enterprises, 92 companies short-listed for a first batch of "solar energy to rural areas" list, but most of Shandong, Jiangsu


Guangdong


And other large-scale solar energy more successful regional bid, a Kunming through solar energy have become the only fruit.





"With about a half-meter-high bids and related materials to Beijing, bidding too busy to hardly enough to eat." Yesterday afternoon, the company's general manager Li Yongquan introduction, "This is the first time we went to Beijing bid , really, to have before my mind can no more wondering whether the successful bid for success, just want to do with this thing. "Although already successful, but about the process of bidding, Li Yongquan still quite low-key. He smiled and said the country to bid for "Solar countryside" as the scholar to Beijing on an exam. "We were able to win the bid because we produced the first flat

Energy-efficient. "According to reports, one in Yunnan Province through solar energy products solar thermal industry's only" Yunnan Famous Brand. "





Financial subsidy 325 yuan / Taiwan





"Solar energy to rural areas," the business opportunities brought about by nature is self-evident. "I saw the company won the bid, the first feeling is calm. Then another thought, until that opportunity comes." Li Yongquan memories, the first selected list of solar energy production enterprises have more than 90, but more than 5,000 compared to the national The total size, is still the cream of the crop. "Most likely, more than 90 companies is the future of the domestic solar industry giant." Li Yongquan, at present the company has more than 170 in the province

Network, to be "solar energy to rural areas" project after the implementation of the rapid expansion of sales channels to more than 500.





In the face of new opportunities, Li Yongquan on the future development of enterprises with more confidence. He went to a new plant through solar energy plan before the result, pointing to renderings, said: "The new industrial park plant settled in Guandu solar park, a total investment of 90 million yuan, covers an area of 60 acres, started construction on the 10th of this month, is expected by the end of put into production. "Li Yongquan description said the new plant to be put into production, will introduce an annual output of 300,000 sets of solar

Production line, when the company's technology will reach a national and even world leaders.





As this is to enter the rural market, taking into account the consumption capacity of farmers, product price is not high, the company would prefer to reduce the profit or no profit, but also took the opportunity to enhance the brand's influence, more broadly at the township residents in the promotion of products. "We have selected the product prices are only more than 2000 yuan a single, only 13% of the Ministry of Finance announced the allowances, farmers can save 325 yuan each to buy."





Focus on supporting leading edge





"Present on the solar energy industry in Kunming city very seriously, this has put forth a good several documents, a total sum down into 6 major areas." According to Kunming Economic and Trade Office, Xiao-Bin Yang introduced legislation banning the Government decided, since 2009 years, the annual budget for 20 million yuan, continuous support for 5 years to support the use of solar energy and industrial development. These funds are used for solar energy research and development, discount interest, achievement awards and so on.





Yunnan Normal University Solar Energy Institute, Professor Gao Wenfeng believes that bigger and stronger solar energy industry in Yunnan Province have natural resources, mainly reflected solar radiation, and climate resources. Meanwhile, the Yunnan solar energy long time, people's awareness of solar energy products higher, which are conducive to the development of solar energy industry in Yunnan Province.





"However, compared to Shandong, and Jiangsu, Yunnan solar industry still shows the smaller, incomplete industry chain and so on.

"Price lever" do not have exaggerated

During the two sessions, "energy saving" has become the most enthusiastic delegates discussed topics, many people suggested the formation of rational pricing mechanism, the market mechanism and price leverage, meaning for energy conservation is very important.


 


    In my opinion, can not be exaggerated price leverage, especially in electricity, gas and other utilities. Raise electricity prices will increase people's awareness of saving it? May not. For energy-saving concept of economic prosperity and lack of people, he (she) does not care about price rose a few cents the General Assembly, how to use them before now how to use. For most of the people, the price rise or not rise, he will not be wasted on them, will only increase the burden of rising electricity prices. In fact, a person of high energy-saving awareness, improve the electricity delivered to him only the price signal, rather than the energy signal. Possible in their own homes to conserve electricity to reduce costs, but to no saving outside a Flanagan string. Therefore, relying on rising energy price increase people's awareness of limited effect.

    The key energy-saving or improving people's energy awareness, energy awareness, and do not dig their own pocket he will not be wasted. Increase energy conservation awareness, the rich do not care that point electricity, no money of its own people only care. Summer peak a few years ago, many media initiatives the air conditioning to 26 degrees Celsius, the author went to Shanxi Yuncheng city, a hotel, the room door opens air was very hot, that the hotel had air conditioning when no one is open, and a air-conditioning temperature is set to see 16 degrees Celsius. Why is this so? Because electricity is not a hotel waiter dig. If the waiter has a number of energy-saving awareness, even without her dig the air conditioning electricity charges will not be that low temperature, turn off air conditioning or in a timely manner. So the key is to raise awareness of energy saving, power saving is difficult to solve simple problems raising electricity prices.
suspended grid ceiling


    Must be noted that only by raising awareness of energy conservation is also a problem. In addition to energy-saving consciousness will depend on whether the policy environment and implementation of energy-saving environment. For example, in China, many cities are not allowed to install solar roof, a newspaper reported the City has some residential tenants to install solar water heaters must not news, but not after the text. Author in Beijing, a friend would like to install a solar water heater, residential property to influence the district rejected the image of its installation. Friend said to install solar energy mainly for energy conservation, residential property manager said that I do not care savings are not savings, because it is not allowed to install.


    According to reports, the German private residential roof installation of photovoltaic cells or solar energy facilities, the construction company can apply for up to 10 years, low interest, or even interest-free loans, the Government's implementation of the "100,000 solar roofs program" contents. Not long ago, "China Electric Power News" reported that in Spain, the Government has forced residents to install solar power equipment. In China, the lack of environmental and energy related policy support, more mandatory use of solar energy in Spain and some parts of the country allowed to use, saving the environment we can imagine.


    In fact, our residents have not low price level, and some people take electricity to China's price level compared with the United States, said that the Chinese residential electricity prices are too low. In fact, if the expenditures from the electricity consumption of residents in the proportion of expenditure, China's price much higher than the United States. There are many low-income families in China to adjust tariffs to fully consider their endurance. Best not to stare at the already cash-strapped people had. China's unit energy consumption for more than 30% higher than in developed countries, the most energy-saving potential industrial users, energy-efficient industrial sector is also difficult. Particularly energy-intensive industries, there are still many enjoying preferential rates of high energy consumption, real prices should be used to leverage these businesses.
