Furthermore, the report noted that the drag on US growth from oil price shocks has also decreased from over 70 basis points in the past to about 5 basis points today.

This situation is due to two main reasons: First, the lack of standardized battery cell specifications restricts cost, efficiency, and market responsiveness. He suggested promoting battery cell standardization. Second, there are too many types of chips. Chips should be standardized, and relevant departments should organize automakers to unify chip types as soon as possible, developing interchangeable standards for each type. This would not only benefit the adoption of domestically produced chips in vehicles but also help reduce costs across the industry.
