With the intensification of the global energy crisis and environmental issues, the new energy vehicle industry, as a strategic emerging industry, has received high attention from various countries. Although China's new energy vehicle industry started relatively late, it has rapidly developed due to its resource advantages and market potential. This article objectively evaluates the trade competitiveness of China's new energy vehicle industry by calculating and comparing the trade competitiveness index of China, the United States, Japan, and Germany's new energy vehicle industry. Research has found that there is a gap between China's new energy vehicle industry and developed countries in terms of core technology mastery, image building, infrastructure, standard system construction, and collaborative capabilities. This article aims to identify the competitive disadvantages of China's new energy vehicle industry in the international market, and propose corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to promote the high-quality development of the industry and enhance its international competitiveness.
