2025 World New Energy Vehicle Conference Haikou kicks off: Solid-state batteries and vehicle-road coordination become core issues
On May 20, 2025, the World New Energy Vehicle Conference officially kicked off in Haikou. As one of the most influential events in the field of new energy vehicles in the world, this conference attracted more than 2,000 industry experts and corporate representatives from more than 50 countries and regions around the world to participate. Issues such as solid-state battery technology, vehicle-road collaboration, and intelligent driving have become the focus of discussion, showing the latest development trends of the new energy vehicle industry.
1. Core topics of the conference: Solid-state batteries and vehicle-road coordination
At this conference, solid-state battery technology was mentioned many times. Many companies have demonstrated their latest R&D results, with an energy density exceeding 500Wh/kg and a charging time shortened to less than 10 minutes, greatly improving the endurance and safety of electric vehicles. In addition, vehicle-road collaboration technology has also become a hot topic. Through 5G, AI and other technologies, real-time interaction between vehicles and road infrastructure is achieved, further improving the reliability and efficiency of autonomous driving.
2. Overview of global new energy vehicle market data
Country/Region | Sales in 2024 (10,000 vehicles) | Year-on-year growth rate | market share |
---|---|---|---|
China | 950 | 25% | 60% |
Europe | 450 | 18% | 28% |
USA | 300 | 15% | 19% |
Japan | 120 | 10% | 8% |
Judging from the data, China is still the world's largest new energy vehicle market, accounting for 60% of the market, followed by Europe and the United States. The growth rate of the Japanese market is relatively slow, but the breakthrough in solid-state battery technology is expected to bring new growth points to it.
3. Corporate News: Technology Breakthrough and Strategic Cooperation
Many leading companies announced important progress at the conference. CATL released its third-generation solid-state battery, which is expected to be mass-produced in 2026; Tesla demonstrated a new generation of autonomous driving system, realizing L4-level autonomous driving based on vehicle-road collaboration technology; BYD announced that it would cooperate with Huawei to jointly develop intelligent connected car solutions.
enterprise | Technical breakthrough | Estimated production time |
---|---|---|
CATL | Third generation solid-state battery (energy density 550Wh/kg) | 2026 |
Tesla | L4 level autonomous driving system (vehicle-road collaboration) | At the end of 2025 |
BYD | Intelligent connected car solutions (cooperate with Huawei) | 2026 |
4. Policy support: Countries accelerate the transformation of new energy
During the conference, representatives from various countries also shared their own new energy vehicle policies. China announced that it will increase the construction of charging infrastructure, with the goal of building 5 million charging piles by 2030; the EU plans to completely ban the sale of fuel vehicles by 2035; the United States will pass the New Energy Act to provide tax incentives to encourage consumers to purchase electric cars.
5. Future Outlook: Technology Integration and Ecological Co-construction
The experts at the meeting generally believed that the future of new energy vehicles will not only rely on breakthroughs in a single technology, but will require the coordinated development of multiple fields such as batteries, autonomous driving, and energy networks. The maturity of solid-state batteries and vehicle-road collaboration technology will promote new energy vehicles to move towards safer, smarter and more environmentally friendly.
The successful holding of the 2025 World New Energy Vehicle Conference has injected new vitality into the global new energy vehicle industry. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous support of policies, the popularity of new energy vehicles will be further accelerated, contributing to the realization of global carbon neutrality goals.
