    Hubei Province is major automobile province that represents the prospects for the new energy vehicle industry in China. In order to enhance the competitiveness of the new energy vehicle industry in Hubei Province, This paper employs the “diamond model” to construct the evaluation index system of the competitiveness of the new energy automobile industry in Hubei Province. Determining the weight of each evaluation index by entropy method, and then calculates the scores of each evaluation index of Hubei Province and other benchmarking cities. A comparative analysis is conducted to examine the competitive advantages and shortcomings of Hubei’s new energy vehicle industry. The results show that the competitiveness of the new energy vehicle industry in Hubei Province is at the upper-middle level in the country, and the industrial development foundation has obvious advantages over other provinces and cities. However, there are still problems such as lagging supporting infrastructure, insufficient motivation for innovation and development, and low degree of regional openness and marketization. Therefore, the government should speed up the construction of industrial infrastructure facilities, vigorously cultivate and introduce professional talents, increase the research and development of core technologies and create a good consumption environment.

    In order to build low-temperature driving range conditions for electric vehicles, this paper utilizes the T-BOX cloud based big data platform for electric vehicles in natural user scenarios, selects speed-related parameters by application principal component analysis, obtaining kinematic fragments of low-speed, medium-speed and high-speed through cluster analysis methods, compares the difference in travel speed of trams at normal temperature and low temperature, establishes a speed curve suitable for low temperature test according to the probability density calculation results, and simultaneously extracts the information of ambient temperature, air conditioning grade and air conditioning temperature. The relationship between ambient temperature and air conditioning setting is analyzed, the ambient temperature and air conditioning setting information suitable for low temperature test are obtained. The results show that compared with normal temperature, the low-speed driving time is extended by 3%, the medium-speed and high-speed driving time are reduced by 2% and 1% respectively, and the ambient temperature setting to -22 ℃, the air conditioning level setting to 3, and the air conditioning temperature setting to 26 ℃ can represent the using scenarios of most users, finally building a low temperature driving rangeworking condition of electric vehicles which is closer to the user’s actual situation.

    In order to improve the endurance of the vehicle, with the goal of reducing the vehicle’s wind resistance and optimizing its aerodynamic performance, taking the vehicle’s aerodynamic development process as the starting point, the fluid analysis software STAR-CCM+ is used to simulate the aerodynamic performance of a certain pure electric SUV model. Taking into account the principles of overall aerodynamic design, the definition of styling style, and engineering feasibility, multiple drag reduction optimization schemes are proposed from the perspectives of exterior styling and bottom guard plate. (1) Based on the principle of “front circle”, the airflow in the front bumper area is separated and optimized into a more body fitting surface, reducing the positive pressure and energy dissipation at the front; (2) Based on the “behind rear” principle, effective improvement of the airflow state at the rear end is achieved through tail wing sealing, partial downward pressure on the roof, inward retraction of the side wings in Y direction, partial upward movement of the tail light area, and optimization of the bottom profile of the rear bumper, which increased the negative pressure at the rear and further reduced the overall wind resistance of the vehicle; (3) By optimizing the aerodynamic wheel rims, flattened full coverage bottom guard plates, and other local details, the vortex shape in the wheel cavity area and the flow of bottom airflow are effectively improved, ultimately resulting in a drag reduction rate of over 30% for the SUV. The drag coefficient is controlled within 0.28, effectively reducing the overall drag coefficient of the vehicle, meeting the development needs of vehicle performance, and improving the endurance of the SUV model.
