Section 3 introduces the data source and research design. Section 4 describes the analysis of the power battery industry policy from the product life cycle perspective in four aspects: quantity, department, content and policy tools. Section 5 presents the conclusions and suggestions for policy improvement.
The government prefers to use environment-side and supply-side policy tools to plan the development of the power battery industry, while demand-side policy tools have a certain traction effect on expanding market demand and improving market mechanisms.
In summary, the literature provides an important theoretical basis for power battery policy research. However, previous research is far from systematic and in-depth. First, this research focused more on analysis of the technology, while research on policy is still scarce.
We searched the Peking University Legal Information Database (PKULAW) for power battery industry policies and found 188 relevant policies issued in the past two decades. 1 Effective evaluation and analysis of policies are important. Because of their large number, policies for the power battery industry have become complicated.
Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.
