In order to obtain electric vehicle evaluation indicators which are more scientific and more compliant for Chinese consumers, iCET adopted the Delphi method to set the indicators and weights of the BestEV evaluation system. The indicators come from research and discussions by 28 well-known electric vehicle experts, who work in domestic and foreign research institutions, enterprises, Investment and after-sales agencies, and media. To ensure that the BestEV evaluation methodology can follow the development of electric vehicle technology in time, this conference conducted in-depth discussion on how to adjust the BestEV evaluation indicators and weights. Experts shared their ideas and recommendations on various indicators and weights settlement based on different perspectives and combined with their own driving experience.
