Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Passenger Car Association, said in a live broadcast a few days ago that he only buys fuel vehicles and will never buy new energy vehicles.He said that fuel vehicles are relatively green and have extremely low carbon emissions throughout their life cycle, while electric vehicle batteries will produce a large amount of carbon emissions during the manufacturing process.Fuel vehicles bear huge tax pressure, while new energy vehicles are extremely low-cost tax-free products, so it is difficult for the two to compete.
This comment caused a lot of controversy. According to the official WeChat account of Ifeng.com, Cui Dongshu himself posted a response in his circle of friends today, saying that this was a choice based on personal circumstances and was taken out of context by some articles and misinterpreted his wishes.
Cui Dongshu said: "I said yesterday that I personally buy a fuel vehicle rather than a new energy vehicle. This is a personal choice based on my personal annual low mileage and the current inconvenience of charging in my place of residence. Some articles today quoted my wishes out of context and misinterpreted my wishes, which has affected the good situation of the development of new energy in our country. Therefore, I specifically state that my true intention is as follows."
He emphasized that the development of new energy vehicles is my country's established strategic direction, and he firmly supports and works hard to promote it.
China's new energy vehicles have made great achievements worldwide, which is the result of the joint efforts of our industry. There is no doubt that new energy vehicles have the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, low cost of use, and strong sense of science and technology.
