This week’s regular session of the State Council: Review and approve the “Action Plan for Improving the New Energy Vehicle Power Battery Recycling System”
On February 21, the State Council executive meeting reviewed and approved the “Action Plan for Improving the New Energy Vehicle Power Battery Recycling System.” The meeting pointed out that at present, my country’s new energy vehicle power batteries have entered the stage of large-scale retirement, and it is particularly important to comprehensively improve the level of power battery recycling capabilities. It is necessary to strengthen full-chain management, strive to break through blockages, build a standardized, safe and efficient recycling system, use digital technology to strengthen monitoring of the flow direction of power batteries throughout the life cycle, and achieve traceability throughout production, sales, dismantling, and utilization. It is necessary to use legal means to regulate recycling, formulate and improve relevant administrative regulations, and strengthen supervision and management. It is necessary to speed up the formulation and revision of relevant standards such as green design of power batteries and product carbon footprint accounting, and use standards to guide recycling.
Cailian Automobile: Power battery recycling is an important part of the development of the new energy vehicle industry.

He Xiaopeng talks about humanoid robots: The current industry is still close to the early L2 level of autonomous driving
On February 21, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, said that after recent exchanges with Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, and Zhou Jian of Ubique Technology, they reached a consensus on the development of the humanoid robot industry. That is to say, current humanoid robots are still close to the initial L2 level of autonomous driving, but the industry expects to achieve the initial L3 level capability that can be mass-produced and has commercial value as soon as possible. The humanoid robot spans from L2 to L3, and the ability and difficulty required to complete this jump are dozens of times greater. When autonomous driving reaches the L3 stage, it will usher in the iPhone 4 moment, but humanoid robots need to reach the L4 stage to usher in the iPhone 4 moment. That is, the robot that everyone imagines will enter thousands of households and become a reality.
Cailian Automobile: The humanoid robot industry is “accelerating”.
On February 21, the BMW Group fully released a new generation of electric drive technology for the first time, including the “Pack to Open Body” solution using a “Cell to Pack” solution with 46/95 and 120 cylindrical cells. According to the plan, the sixth-generation power battery using BMW’s large cylindrical cells will be the first to be used in the first new generation model to be unveiled this year, as well as the domestic new generation model to be mass-produced starting in 2026, and will be applied to other pure tram models, including the future pure electric M. At present, BMW is working with China suppliers such as Ningde Times and Yiwei Lithium Energy to steadily promote mass production of large cylindrical batteries in accordance with established plans.
Cailian Automobile: BMW is continuing to improve its vertical integration capabilities.
