Chen Qingquan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who is known as the "Father of Electric Vehicles in Asia", returned to Hong Kong a few days ago to participate in the 150th Anniversary Carnival organized by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), and accepted an exclusive specialization by reporters from "Hong Kong 01"


Chen Qingquan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, known as the "Father of Electric Vehicles in Asia", returned to Hong Kong recently to participate in the 150th Anniversary Carnival organized by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and accepted an exclusive interview with reporters from "Hong Kong 01".


There are four reports in this visit, this is the second one.


As a hero in the field of China's electric vehicle research, 84-year-old Chen Qingquan praised the development of China's electric vehicle industry when interviewed, but he attributed it to market environment and government policy factors, and made his own contribution in a few words.

He also warned the industry and the people: "China has taken 40 years of reform and opening up and has followed 200 years of others. The achievements are worthy of pride, but we must also pay attention to the fact that most of these are "from 1 to 2", not "from 0 to 1." , We must also remember to keep a low profile, pay more attention to basic and innovative research, and successfully apply it to the industry to catch up with the gap with some countries. Don’t just "make my country powerful". On the other hand, people have 70 years of experience. We only have the things we had before, so what's so great?"

On August 14, 2021, Chen Qingquan accepted an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01" after attending the 150th Anniversary Carnival of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET).

China's road intelligent leading sensors and other technologies are still lagging behind

Chen Qingquan said that China has two major advantages in the field of electric vehicles: One is that the Chinese government has subsidized pure electric vehicles (EV) from the early days. At that time, the West tended to study hybrid electric vehicles, but now pure electric vehicles have become a global trend. This is China's first-mover advantage.

Second, China’s road intelligent construction has achieved leading results. The highway’s photographic lenses are fully equipped, and the number of charging piles is also increasing. In contrast, some countries’ systems are prone to "separate governance", making people, cars, roads The coordination is not smooth.

China's car and road coordination is at the forefront of the world, and advanced 5G technology provides strong support for the development of the Internet of Vehicles and driverless cars.

However, when the conversation turned, he believed that no country can stay ahead in all aspects, such as road intelligence, China is still behind the West in specific technologies such as high-precision sensors and high-precision radars.

In the photovoltaic panel industry related to electric vehicles, China also has the largest output in the world, but its materials are weak, which makes photovoltaic efficiency not comparable to that of countries such as Germany.

Advocate to learn from the experience of other countries to become a powerful automobile country

In Chen Qingquan’s view, it is not shameful to admit that China has a gap with the West in certain areas. "The modernization of the world started from the Renaissance in Europe and then to the United States. After hundreds of years of accumulation, they saw some problems. It is farther than us and deeper than us, so in terms of basic research and original research, it is better than us." For example, in terms of batteries, the US Argonne Laboratory's description of the battery development route is farther than China.

"The reason is simple: if they accumulate more, then we have to learn more." Chen Qingquan emphasized, this does not mean that China will always lag behind others: "Just remember two sentences: demand determines, and the market is the largest. China in the future Will continue to lead the world."

He said that China will one day become an automobile powerhouse.

"China is now a big automobile power. Although Germany is not a big country, it is a powerful automobile power. This is because Germany invented the internal combustion engine and is the birthplace of automobiles, so Germany has accumulated a lot of experience. But China can become a powerful automobile power as long as it is modest and keeps a low profile. (China) You must know where your shortcomings are."

China's electric vehicle industry has developed rapidly in recent years.

Have the courage to "sit on the cold bench" to develop original research

In the past year or two, Chinese electric car companies have sprung up like mushrooms. Although Chen Qingquan appreciates that Chinese car companies cover different levels of the market and can even participate in international competition in the future, he also calls on companies not to rely on advertising or excessive government support. Core technologies and talents will definitely be eliminated in the next 20 years: "Japan, the United States, and Germany only have a few electric car companies. Why are there hundreds of them in China? There are more people in China, but you don't need hundreds! "

He went on to point out that China should focus on the development of original research.

"We are the number one high-speed rail in the world, but our high-speed rail is based on Germany and Japan. That's because our market is large, but it is not our original. This was no problem in the first 40 years, but China must now be a leader. Dare to enter no man’s land, and don’t always want to overtake corners. You must have the courage to sit on a cold bench and sharpen your sword for ten years. The mindset is the most important.”
