(2) Potential, which means that it can be widely used in NEVs, as well as parts and components, and that it is feasible to be further promoted and applied.

Selection process

1. Technologies Collection

    · Experts recommend: Committee experts can recommend 2 items of Innovative Technologies (The technology recommended by Committee experts can directly enter the final evaluation after examination form). (The experts are required to give a recommendation within 100 words);
    · Secretariat recommendation: The WNEVC Secretariat and the Secretariat of the Science and Technology Committee recommend through selection, invitation, etc.;
  ·  Open collection: Innovative Technologies are openly collected for domestic and foreign scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises, and relevant industry organizations; Each technical field (8 selection fields) can only declare 1 item for the same unit.

2. Examination Form: The secretariat shall examine the compliance of the application materials;

3. Innovative Technologies Preliminary Evaluation: The evaluations are carried out through the online system. The experts select technical fields for group evaluation. One vote accumulates one point, and if the final score is equal to or greater than half of the total number of this field experts, the technology can enter the final evaluation;

Note: The technology recommended by Committee experts can directly enter the final evaluation

4. Material Improvement and Site Visit or Defense: Communicate with the shortlisted companies to complete the materials. Depending on the situation, conduct on-site inspections or defenses of the technologies that entered the final evaluation;

5. Innovative Technologies Final Evaluation: Experts vote on each technology that enters the final evaluation through the online system. In the end, 2023 “Global NEV Cutting-edge and Innovative Technologies” was selected.
