An Analysis about the Pure Electric Vehicle Sales Prediction Based on the BP Neural Network

Abstract

With the increasing demand for pure electric vehicles among Chinese residents, being able to accurately forecast the future sales volume of pure electric vehicles has become a hot topic of research in today’s society. In this paper, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles from January 2020 to December 2021 have been collected. And based on the monthly sales volume of 24 months, the BP neural network model has been used to test the data, and the sales volume of pure electric vehicles from January to December 2021 has been predicted with the trained model. Comparing its prediction results with the actual sales volume, it has been found that the BP neural network model can predict the future sales volume of electric vehicles well; and based on the prediction results, it can provide some useful references for the production planning and the raw material procurement.
