Nowadays, when you take a taxi in the urban area, you will often see new energy taxis with green license plates. According to the preliminary calculation, the operating cost of this new energy vehicle is about one third of the taxi cost of the oil and gas vehicles. During the whole operation period, the maintenance cost of new energy vehicles is about 10,000 yuan less than that of traditional fuel vehicles.

In order to promote the wide application of new energy vehicles in the public sector, our city constantly encourages new and updated public vehicles such as taxis and shuttle buses to be replaced by new energy vehicles. Since last July, new energy taxis have been put into operation in our city. By the end of May this year, 117 pure electric taxis have been put into operation. After nearly a year of operation, new energy taxis have prominent advantages in energy saving and emission reduction, reducing driver fatigue and maintenance costs. Xi Shizhan, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the past year, the average daily operating mileage of new energy taxis launched in our city is about 70,000 km, which has received good feedback in terms of operating cost and driving comfort, and has made a certain contribution to improving the city's image and energy conservation and emission reduction.

We have made efforts to accelerate the infrastructure construction of new energy vehicles in the public domain and help to realize the application scenarios of new energy vehicles in the city. In the underground parking lot of Wuyue Plaza, there are two rows of special electric vehicle parking spaces. ¡°There are special charging piles behind these parking spaces, which are very thoughtful." Li Xun, who came to shop, just bought an electric car at the beginning of this year. "At first, the most worrying thing was that there was no place to charge. Then, I found that many communities and large commercial plazas are equipped with new energy vehicle charging piles." Data show that by the end of last year, there were 6904 new energy vehicles in our city, and 1348 new energy vehicle charging facilities have been built, including 616 DC charging piles and 732 AC charging piles.

We have made efforts to accelerate the use of new energy vehicles in the public domain and enhance the application scope of new energy in the city. Few years ago, our city launched a new energy vehicle replacement plan. Data show that by the end of last year, the number of buses in our city was 1907, including 1468 pure electric new energy buses, accounting for 76.98% of the total. According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, in order to continue to promote the application of new energy vehicles in the public field, the Bureau will continue to increase the support for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, further study and formulate the incentive policies for the promotion and application, and strive to achieve more than 80% of new energy vehicles in the public field of our city by 2025.
