Electric four-wheeled vehicles, electric sightseeing vehicles, electric trucks and other new energy transport tools have been in a very "awkward" position: clearly environmental protection and energy saving, easy to operate, but there is no "legal" "identity" can not be popularized. The situation is expected to improve in 2016. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Environment and other ministries have carried out research on micro electric four-wheelers, unified micro electric vehicle management measures are expected to be released.

  Sales of tiny electric four-wheelers continued their rapid growth in the previous two years in 2015, still a policy grey area. Data showed that the production of low-speed electric vehicles exceeded 700,000 units in 2015. The annual growth rate of more than 50% micro electric vehicles has proved its strong market demand in the third and fourth tier markets. At present in the domestic independent car brand, the micro electric car market is not a few.

  Low-speed electric vehicles in China are mainly distributed in Shenzhen, Hebei, Henan and other provinces, and production and sales in Hubei, Sichuan, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shanxi and other provinces are also rising with the development of the market. Experts predict that micro or small electric vehicles will be the main development trend of plug-in hybrid vehicles in the future. Considering the cost performance of batteries, "by 2020, small pure electric vehicles with a range of about 300 kilometers should be the mainstream". Moreover, according to a new Ipsos industry report, China is expected to have 5 million micro-electric vehicles by 2020, with vehicle sales of more than 50 billion yuan.

  Yang Yusheng, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has long called for legal status for micro-electric vehicles. It is understood that the development of micro electric vehicles has instructions, to be included in the normal motor vehicle management. It is expected to pass a high standard after the release of a small number of products, other electric four-wheelers or will be included in the new motorcycle management category.
