Under the influence of government policy incentives, mature technology, improved public charging network, cost reduction and other aspects of automobile companies actively provide consumers with more model choices, the global new energy vehicles are developing in a blowout. 2. Analysis of Global Share of China's New Energy Vehicles 2.1. Annual Sales Share Analysis From the perspective of global new energy vehicle sales, the global new energy vehicle industry has entered a rapid growth channel, and the sales scale of new energy vehicles has continued to expand. Comprehensive comparison of nearly ten years of data, new energy vehicle sales in China and the world are steadily rising, are in 2021 to achieve rapid growth, China's year-on-year growth reached 157.5%, the global year-on-year growth reached 121.7%, more than 100%, to achieve a multi-fold growth, after this, the annual sales data in the rise but the growth rate is steadily declining. Some scholars predicted in 2018 that global sales of new energy vehicles will reach 11 million in 2025, and the data has exceeded expectations in 2023. EVTank data display in 2023 [2], the global new energy automobile sales of 14.653 million units, up 35.4% from a year earlier, with China's new energy automobile sales to 9.495 million, accounting for 64.8% of global sales, more than half, China has become the largest market for new energy vehicles. The comparison chart of global and Chinese new energy vehicle sales from 2013 to 2023 is as follows: 112 Table 1. 2013-2023 year comparison of global and Chinese new energy vehicle sales Year Sales in China (10000 units) China's year- on-year growth Global sales (10000 units) Global year-on- year growth 2013 1.8 / 16 / 2014 7.5 316.67% 24 50.0% 2015 33.1 342.51% 37 54.2% 2016 50.7 53.17% 66 78.4% 2017 77.7 53.25% 107 62.1% 2018 125.6 61.65% 184 72.0% 2019 120.6 -3.98% 203 10.3% 2020 136.7 10.90% 286 40.9% 2021 352.1 157.50% 634 121.7% 2022 688.7 93.40% 1031 62.6% 2023 949.5 37.90% 1465 42.1% With the strong support of countries around the world for new energy vehicles, the market competitiveness of the new energy automobile industry continues to improve, the recognition and acceptance of consumers continues to improve, and the proportion of new cars is constantly improving. According to the EVTank survey, the annual sales of new energy vehicles in the United States and Europe in 2023 were 2.948 million and 1.468 million, with year-on-year growth rates of 18.3% and 48.0%, respectively. EVTank analysts believe that the growth rate of the European new energy vehicle market is less than expected and the subsidy decline in Germany and other countries in 2023 has a greater relationship. EVTank experts forecast the future of the new energy vehicle market, and it is expected that the global sales of new energy vehicles will reach 18.30 million in 2024, of which the sales of new energy vehicles in China will reach 11.80 million, and the global sales of new energy vehicles will reach 47 million in 2030 [3]. 2.2. Analysis of Export Sales of China's New Energy Vehicles According to the data of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from the perspective of domestic and foreign markets, the importance of the export market to China's automobile industry is increasing, and this trend is more significant in the fuel vehicle market. At present, the proportion of automobile exports in total sales is still less than 20%, and the domestic market is still its largest sales group, but from the year-on-year growth situation, whether it is fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, the growth rate of the export market has far exceeded the domestic market. As shown in Figure 1, the fastest growth rate is in 2021, mainly due to factors, one is the policy incentive, which did not further promote the role, but still played a decisive role. The second is the rapid progress of technology, and the driving range can basically meet the travel needs. The third factor is the abundance of products, 236 types of new energy vehicles are on sale, and consumers have more opportunities to choose. Vehicle export sales in 2023 increased by 57.9% year-on-year, an expansion from 2022 and in sharp contrast to the 6% year- on-year growth in the domestic market [4]. Figure 1. 2018-2023 Comparison of automobile export sales from As Figure 2 shows, new energy vehicles grew by 77.6% year-on-year, much higher than the 33.5% growth in the domestic market. In 2023, 4.91 million vehicles were exported, accounting for 16.3% of total sales (3.7% in 2018), -3.40% -8.50% -1.70% -0.20% -2.10% 6% 16.80% -1.60% -2.90% 101.10% 54.40% 57.90% -20.00% 0.00% 20.00% 40.00% 60.00% 80.00% 100.00% 120.00% 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Car sales in China year-on-year(%) Car export sales year-on-year(%) 113 and 1.2 million new energy vehicles were exported (24.5% of total automobile exports), accounting for 12.7% of new energy vehicle sales (0.5% in 2018). In 2020-2021, the export proportion of new energy vehicle sales is slightly higher than the overall proportion of cars, during the same period, new energy vehicle companies led by BYD, NIO, Ideal, etc., actively go to sea, and Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory in China will also achieve mass production and begin to export in 2020 [5]. Figure 2. 2018-2023 Comparison of export sales of new energy vehicles According to the survey of the international automobile market, the American automobile market is mainly dominated by the American and Japanese automobiles, supplemented by the Korean and European automobiles. In fact, the European car market is a very exclusive market, at present, the European car accounts for about 70%, China exported the past part, a total of 448,000 units, accounting for about 3.49%. In the field of new energy vehicles, according to the latest analysis by the European Agency, nearly one in five (19.5%) electric vehicles sold in Europe in 2023 will be made in China, and this figure is expected to reach one in four (25%) by 2024. The increase in the proportion of Chinese-made new energy vehicles benefited from the Chinese government's strong support for the electric vehicle industry, including subsidy policies and market access concessions, which also provided a strong boost for domestic car companies. It is worth noting that Western brands such as Tesla, Mercedes and BMW account for a considerable proportion of the electric vehicles made in China, and these brands have production bases in China that not only serve the Chinese market, but also export a large number of electric vehicles to Europe. Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai, for example, is a key part of its global expansion strategy. Chinese brands such as NIO, Xiaopeng and BYD are also exploring the electric vehicle market in Europe and their share is expected to continue to grow, accounting for 11 percent by 2024. 3.

Development Suggestions for New Energy Vehicles According to the above data analysis, last year, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 9.495 million, accounting for 64.8% of global sales, more than half, China is currently the world's largest new energy vehicle production and sales of the country. In 2023, the export of automobiles was 4.91 million, accounting for 16.3% of the total sales, and the export of new energy vehicles was 1.2 million, an increase of 77.6%, and the international market for new energy vehicles in China was gradually opening. At the same time, the development of new energy vehicles in China also faces problems such as weak core technology innovation ability, quality assurance system to be improved, infrastructure construction is still lagging behind, industrial ecology is not perfect, and market competition is intensifying [11]. To solve these problems, the following suggestions are made: 4.1. Promote Technology Research and Development and Business Innovation If the new energy automobile industry wants to develop healthily and steadily in the long term, it needs to break through the relevant technological blockades in foreign countries and promote technological innovation and research and development in related fields. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen technological research and development cooperation between enterprises and scientific research institutions and universities, and encourage the current new forces to organically combine with traditional enterprises in key technical fields such as fuel cells, vehicle scale chips, and control systems in new energy vehicles, integrate the advantages of multiple fields, actively build corresponding technology research and development and testing platforms and institutions, and gather strength to break through the existing technology blockade. We will overcome key technologies in the field of new energy. At the same time, encourage new energy market model innovation, actively explore diversified marketing, support automobile manufacturers to cooperate with the Internet and other industries, promote cross-border innovation of new energy vehicles in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, 115 and optimize their marketing model. 4.2. Strengthening Infrastructure Construction In the daily use of new energy vehicles, infrastructure such as charging piles, charging stations and changing stations play a very important role, which is the basic guarantee for the promotion and application of electric vehicles, and helps consumers buy new energy vehicles. However, China's infrastructure coverage in the city is not high, there is a large space for development, it is necessary for enterprises and governments at all levels to work together to improve the overall layout of infrastructure construction, reasonable planning of facilities construction land, and promote the development of new energy vehicles. We will guide the construction and upgrading of smart charging piles, and accelerate the intelligent upgrading of distribution networks. 4.3. Formulate a Reasonable International Development Strategy Actively build an international marketing network, and carry out regional cooperation and exchanges through different means. International marketing programs need to innovate and keep pace with The Times; In addition, in addition to conventional marketing planning, while setting up mining local potential customers, time-sharing leasing and other projects in line with the trend of The Times, enterprises should actively plan new programs in line with local consumer groups. We will further align with the latest international economic and trade rules, participate in the revision of regulations on international standards, and promote the "going global" of standards with Chinese characteristics and advantages. 5. Summary Through the analysis of global new-energy vehicle sales and market share in the past decade, and the comparative analysis of some popular models in China, countries vigorously develop new energy industry, can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote the improvement of the global ecological environment, and add new momentum to the economic growth of countries. As the technical level of China's new energy automobile industry continues to improve, the industrial system is becoming increasingly perfect, the competitiveness of products has been greatly enhanced, and it has been sought after by the majority of consumers and recognized by the market, and the effect of industry transformation and upgrading continues to consolidate. At the same time, the development of new energy vehicles in China is also faced with problems such as weak core technology innovation ability, quality assurance system to be improved, infrastructure construction is still lagging behind, industrial ecology is not perfect, and market competition is intensifying. In the face of these problems and fierce market competition, four reasonable suggestions are put forward: (1) Promote technology research and development and commercial innovation; (2) Strengthen the construction of basic charging facilities; (3) Strengthen the training of relevant professionals; 4) Formulate a sound international development strategy. Although the development of new energy vehicles in China started late, there are some natural and acquired advantages such as population and time in the international competition in the industry, and the development trend is upward and the prospects are broad. In the future, the development trend of China's new energy vehicles and new energy industry will be all the way up, and the related construction work will also achieve good results.
