The "green earth" is the common home for human survival and development. Climate change is a serious challenge to the earth's ecosystem since global industrialization and energy is the fundamental problem of human society. Under the pressure of energy crisis and environmental pollution, it has become an inevitable choice to find new energy vehicles to replace fuel cars, however, the new energy vehicles, mainly pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, are not completely harmless to the environment. The reason is that China's thermal power generation method is also very polluting, and the power industry has become one of the largest polluting industries in China. Based on the meaning of carbon neutrality, this paper explores the impact of new energy vehicles in China on the market to achieve carbon "zero emissions", and analyses the contribution of new energy vehicles to the reduction of oil consumption and carbon emissions generated during battery power generation by accounting for the carbon emissions of new energy vehicles, providing a practical and effective solution to seek green development of the new energy vehicle industry from the top level. This paper argues that to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, China needs to continuously optimize the supply and demand structure of new energy vehicles and vigorously develop the photovoltaic industry, which will be a huge driving force for achieving a low-carbon economy.
