Abstract: New energy vehicle (NEV) development is key to reducing vehicle pollutant emissions, conserving fuel oil energy, and sustaining both the automotive industry and the transportation industry of a country. China is now ranked first in terms of NEV adoption. Policies are the main driving force. This paper aims to uncover how policies systematically link together to provide support, direct rapid development, regulate various players to cope with the challenges, and achieve an impressive progress in NEV adoption in China. We propose a policy dependency mapping method which enables us to analyze 175 NEV policies from national, Jing-Jin-Ji regional, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei from January 2006 to April 2016, with adoption targets projected from 2016 to 2020.
