At present, driven by carbon peak emissions and carbon neutrality goal and green economic transformation, the development of renewable energy is of great significance, and new energy has become an important field for countries to compete and invest in, becoming the main battlefield of the new energy revolution.

According to the Ministry of Public Security, the number of domestic new energy vehicles has exceeded 10 million in June this year, making China the world's largest new energy vehicle market.
