So it finally happened. The 60 percent barrier was breached. ICE sales collapsed in April. There are now only a handful countries in the world with a NEV penetration rate above 60%. Most of them are small Nordic countries. And then there's massive China. Crazy!

China starts construction of world's largest ice-snow test base for intelligent connected NEVs​

An ice-snow test base for intelligent connected new energy vehicles (ICNEVs), the world's largest of its kind, has started construction in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The facility, scheduled to open in 2028, will also be the world's first such base capable of indoor snow-making for testing under simulated snowfall conditions.

ICNEVs are vehicles that integrate new energy technologies with advanced connectivity, autonomous driving, and smart systems, transforming traditional cars into mobile intelligent terminals.

Spanning approximately 1,000 mu (about 67 hectares), the test base will feature core functional zones covering calibration of NEV three-electric systems, namely battery, motor, electronic control, chassis systems, simulated snowfall testing for intelligent connected vehicles, and flying car evaluations.

"The project directly addresses the industry bottleneck in extreme cold-weather validation," said Li Wei, vice president of CATARC.
