Recently, the Continental Group officially announced the “Continental Group 2020 Future Trend Trend Research Report”. Since 2011, the Continental Group regularly conducts investigation and research of various key topics. “Mainland Group 2020 Future Trend Trend Research Report is the sixth survey, which investigates the drivers of Germany, France, the United States, China and Japan in various aspects of travel. The key areas of this study are electric travel and automatic driving. Many of the reports of this report have made Bao master accident, but they are very constructive, so they deliberately share with friends inside and outside the car circle.
Conclusion One: Most of the visited countries have cautious attitude towards electric vehicles
report, most German is Visitors (59%) do not consider purchasing electric vehicles in the future, 57% and 50% respondents in France and the United States do not consider using electric vehicles travel, this proportion of Japan is lower, only 46 percentage. In contrast, most Chinese respondents have considering buying pure electric vehicles in the near future. US respondents are not high in pure electric cars, but their attitude is much more active than Germany, France and Japanese respondents.
The respondent believes that the two major problems of electric vehicles are lack of charging stations and battery life compared to conventional gasoline or diesel vehicles. . Among the five countries that have been investigated, the reason that is most commonly mentioned does not support electric travel is to lack the charging station. Only in France, the price is the most important factor. From a global point of view, the four major problems mentioned in five countries have generally existed in five countries, including the quantity of the charging station, and the need to park in long-distance travel. It is expensive than the internal combustion engine. 
Conclusion 2: The number of charging piles is the biggest obstacle to Chinese consumers.
The report pointed out that the number of charging stations is insufficient is a major problem facing urban areas: in the big city, you can Normal parking points are significantly lower than that of electric vehicles charging. The situation in Europe and Japanese cities is particularly. People often put the number of charging stations insufficientAs a reason to oppose the purchase of electric vehicles in large cities.
Like other countries that have been investigated, the biggest influencing factors affecting Chinese respondents to buy pure electric vehicles are the quantity of the charging station – 63 The percentage of Chinese respondents have this view, as well as the battery life-limited mileage (China respondents accounting for 59%). There are also 44% of Chinese respondents that it is also a problem that cannot be charged in a longer journey. At the same time, only one-fifth of Chinese respondents believe that high value is to limit the decisive factors they purchase electric vehicles, which is lower than other countries, while France and Germany have up to 55% respectively. 46 percentage of respondents mind the price of electric cars. For most Chinese, the car is an essential choice for their daily travel. 41 percentage Chinese people open a private car every week, 43% of respondents said they have to open private cars every day or almost every day.
Worry on the row of life is another main reason for various respondents who are unwilling to buy electric vehicles, but for most people. Electric cars can easily meet their daily travel needs because their travel distance is usually short, and nearby, workplace and public places have more and more charging stations, which are usually parked more. Long-term place.
The report shows that the overall development trend of electric vehicles is positive. Since 2013, the proportion of respondents who have purchased pure electric vehicles in the United States, China and Germany have increased significantly, and the 28%, 27% and 18 percentage are increased. In France and Japan, it can be seen that this proportion has increased slightly, with a 3% and 1 percentage. 
However, there are some issues that cannot be overcome with technology development. One-third of German respondents said they won’t consider buying electric cars because they suspect the environmental protection of this technology. A quarter of French respondents also have the same doubts. The situation in other three countries is completely different, questioning electric car environmental protectionThe number of questions should be much lower, and only 1 percentage from the United States to Japan is not equal.
Conclusion 3: The epidemic has greatly reduced public transportation usage
In addition to investigating the expectations and attitudes of electric vehicles and automatic driving, the report also conducts changes in the global new crown epidemic. Research. In all countries involved in the surveyed countries, strict epidemic prevention measures to prevent viral spreads have been largely reduced to the extent to be temporarily lowered. At the same time, even after the measure is relaxed, the travel behavior of many people still has changed after the travel is substantially restored.
Affected by new crown epidemics, private travel has become quite important. In order to minimize contact with others, many people choose to drive private cars travel. In contrast, public transportation and carpooling in a global scale have declined significantly. In France and Germany, 80 percentage respondents said they changed their daily travel habits during the new crown epidemic. In the United States, there are also 81 percentage of respondents to express a similar behavior shift. This change is the most obvious in Asia: in Japan, 88% of people have changed their travel habits, in China, this number rose to 93%.
A Chinese respondent has been avoiding public transportation after the emergence of the new crown epidemic – this data is higher than other countries. Case. Since the epidemic situation, carpool travel has also decreased. More than half (58%) Chinese respondents said that they are considering caring or have already car. This ratio significantly exceeded Germany (6 percentage), France (11 percent), Japan (6 percent) and US (15 percent) respondents.
China respondents at 46 percentages under the new crown epidedy indicate that the frequency of the car is more frequent, and the ratio of Germany is about 23%. Even in France, this action is freely restricted, there are also 16% of people using car travel more frequently. The trend of the United States (22 percent) and Japan (21 percent) is similar.

In addition to the car, bicycles are also favored by the raging viruses. In China, the increase in bicycle usage has reached 34%, followed by Germany of 21 percentage. The use of public transportation is another scene: half of Germany said that the frequency of using public transport is less than before, this number has even more than 50% in China and Japan. It is worth noting that 56% of the US respondents and 48% of French respondents said that there is no change than the epidemic in the use of buses and trains. In China, Japan and Germany, only about one-third of respondents report similar situations. 
Does this trend continue after the epidemic? Some of the results of the mainland group 2020 future travel trend investment seem to explain this: 6 percentage Japan and German respondents and 15 percentage US respondents said that in order to address the epidemic, they have purchased a car or considering Buy a car within a long time. In China, there is a significant shortcoming in China, and up to 58% of respondents agree to this point. In addition, it is worth noting that Chinese respondents use car shares, carpooling or use car rentals more frequently during the epidemic.
Written in the last:
There is no doubt that in the past 2020 brings huge changes to the travel area, whether it is the popularity of pure electric vehicles, or the impact of the epidemic to travel habits. It is difficult to return to the past and can only face the future.
We need more environmentally more convenient transport, but we also need to solve problems such as insufficient charging piles and short-lived mileage; we need to guarantee More economical more convenient travel, but also need to respect personal health and personality appeal, so this is also the reason why BAO masters explain the future of this future, I hope that the relevant people can get more direct consumers. Demand. Here, the BAO Master’s view of the mainland group executive board members, the car network and the information business group leader Helmut Matschi’s view: “If you want electric travel technology to make widespread understandings in the market, the host factory and component supplier must be taken seriously. Consumer’s electric steamReserved opinions of cars (future travel). “
