"It is possible extended-range electric passenger vehicles will be a breakthrough in China's new-energy passenger vehicle market.

I suggest the relevant government departments set up standards and evaluation methods of energy consumption tests on technologies that extend the range of new-energy vehicles and electric passenger cars with such technology.

By improving and refining the laws and regulations regarding energy saving and emissions, as well as supporting the research and development of engines that extend the range, we expect to speed up the development and promotion of electric passenger cars with such technology."
