China’s “Fifth Generation” Electric Vehicle Achieves Remarkable Milestone
On October 12, 2025, the “Fifth Generation” electric vehicle from China marked a significant achievement in the automotive sector. The production ramp-up of new energy vehicles has gained momentum, showcasing China’s commitment to becoming a powerhouse in this industry.
According to reports, during the “Fifth Generation” period, the growth of China’s automotive industry is expected to accelerate without interruption. This growth spans from production to market leadership, as China aims to strengthen its position in the global automotive landscape.
The “Fifth Generation” initiative emphasizes the need to elevate the supply chain to modern standards, promote advanced manufacturing, and foster new technologies such as high-end smart vehicles and innovative energy sources.
In 2024, China’s total vehicle production is projected to remain stable for the 16th consecutive year, sustaining a level above 30 million units. Notably, the production of new energy vehicles is anticipated to rise significantly from 5.4% in 2020 to an impressive 40.9% by 2024, with output increasing from approximately 1.4 million units to around 13 million units.
In 2023, China exported 4.91 million vehicles, marking its first-time surpassing Japan to become the world’s largest automobile exporting country. By the “Fifth Generation” period, China’s automotive enterprises have reached a level where they contribute nearly 10% to the national GDP.
In Guangdong, the efficiency of new energy vehicle production lines can produce up to eight different models simultaneously. A single assembly line can complete production in just 53 seconds. Moreover, an automotive manufacturer has implemented over 1,000 intelligent production units, utilizing AI for quality control systems.
By August 2025, it is expected that China’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure will have reached a total of 17.34 million units, significantly bolstering the network to cover 98% of service areas. Beyond the typical regions, other provinces will also realize the establishment of charging stations to support this expansion.
As the industry evolves, it is essential to enhance the intelligence of vehicles, construct smarter road systems, and develop safer infrastructure. This initiative aims to propel “Made in China” vehicles into a greener, more intelligent future.
