Question 2 (32 marks) China's State Council announced the New Energy Vehicle Industrial Development Plan (2021- 2035) on October 20, 2020, which aims to orderly development of new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, promote the establishment of a unified national market, and improve industrial concentration and market competitiveness. The Chinese Government hopes that, from 2021 onwards, the proportion of new or updated vehicles in the public sector, such as public transport, taxation, logistics and distribution will be at least 10 percent in national ecological civilization pilot and key areas for air pollution prevention and control. In the New Energy Vehicle Industrial Development Plan 2021-2035, the Chinese government aims to improve power battery and management system, to carry out advanced modular battery and fuel cell technology research, to explore a new generation of vehicle motor drive system, to strengthen the development of key components and systems for intelligent networked vehicles, and to make breakthroughs in improving the research and development capabilities of basic technologies, advanced processes, core components, and key materials. NEV mainly includes pure electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid clectric vehicle and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. Please discuss the background, working principles, benefits and challenges for NEV: 1. Background/motivation (10 marks) 2. Working principles of NEV (10 marks) 3. Benefits, challenges and suggestions to NEV (10 marks) 4. Reference (2 marks) Rubrics and Marking: Question 2 has 4 sub-questions, total 32 marks. Marks will be given based on: (a) the ability of identifying the most possible causes with appropriate explanations. (b) the relevance and technical content of the answers.
