Using the incoPat technology innovation intelligence platform, the characteristics and development trend of new energy vehicle manufacturing technology in Guangxi based on patent data from 2004 to 2023 is analyzed. The research results indicate that Guangxi's new energy vehicle manufacturing industry has entered a “fast lane”, but the core innovation capabilities of “three electricity” technology, intelligent networking, and new energy ecology are not strong, and the entire chain research and development system has not yet been established.Based on the results, policy recommendations are proposed from five aspects: strengthening the top-level design of the industry, promoting the simultaneous development of “quality” and “quantity”, strengthening key technology research, strengthening the supply chain and extending the supply chain, expanding the ASEAN market with “small” cars, attracting downstream charging construction entities, and creating a “pile connected” commercial operation model.
