Wan Gang, head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that charging points will be included in the overall transportation and energy planning, and urged stepping up research of more stable batteries.
Miao Wei, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information, said that the development of new energy vehicles also requires more application of Internet communication technologies as well as innovative business models to tackle the bottleneck in charging point construction.
The China EV 100 this year will study surveys on issues including EV infrastructure, battery improvement, pilot EV business models and intelligent systems.
