New energy vehicles
Promote the application of financial subsidy policy adjustments
Adhere to the gentle subsidy retreat
The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Development and Reform Commission recently jointly issued a notice to clarify the technical indicator system of new energy vehicle purchase subsidies, the date of policy termination and other aspects, and the notice was implemented from yesterday.
According to the circular, in order to create a stable policy environment, the framework and threshold requirements of the current purchase subsidy technical indicator system will remain unchanged. At the same time, adhere to the gentle subsidy decline, in 2022, the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021; urban buses, road passenger transport, rental (including online car-hailing), sanitation, urban logistics and distribution, postal express, civil aviation airports and vehicles in the field of party and government organs that meet the requirements, the subsidy standard will be reduced by 20% on the basis of 2021.
The notice clarifies that the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles in 2022 will be terminated on December 31, 2022, and vehicles licensed after December 31, 2022 will no longer be subsidized.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and relevant departments have established a cross-departmental information sharing mechanism, regularly summarized information on fires and major accidents, accelerated the establishment of a vehicle accident reporting system, and suspended or cancelled the subsidy qualifications for the models involved depending on the seriousness of the circumstances.
In addition, according to the "Daily Economic News", near the end of 2021, affected by the decline in subsidies, including Xiaopeng, GAC Aean and other auto brands have clearly stated that they will raise the price of their new energy models. "Many configurations have existing cars, do not need to wait, now orders can also enjoy the state subsidies in 2021, from January 1, 2022, buy R car these two models, the price will be 5400 yuan more expensive." A few days ago, a Salesman of Feifan Automobile (that is, R Car) in Shanghai told the "Daily Economic News" reporter that from January 1, 2022, Feifan Automobile will clearly adjust the price.
Although the subsidy decline has an impact on the terminal market, many industry insiders said that the new energy vehicle market has shifted from policy-driven to market-driven, and the impact of subsidy decline on the overall market growth of new energy vehicles is limited.
Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Vehicle Market Information Joint Association, told reporters: "The subsidy decline of 30% will have a certain impact on the growth rate of new energy vehicles, especially the annual subsidy scale is capped at about 2 million vehicles, in fact, the scale is significantly reduced compared with last year, whether it is the amount of subsidized bicycles or the total amount, it is in a relatively low state." Therefore, car companies are facing the challenges of the post-subsidy era, and they will inevitably adjust their prices. ”
On January 1, 2022, Cui Dongshu said on social media that he judged that the sales of new energy passenger cars expected in 2022 to be 4.8 million units should now be adjusted to more than 5.5 million units, and the penetration rate of new energy passenger cars will reach about 25%. New energy vehicles are expected to exceed 6 million units, and the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is about 22%. With the significant increase in domestic consumers' recognition of the new energy market and the stability of policy subsidies, it is bound to promote the surge in China's total sales of new energy vehicles in 2022 and continue to maintain the leading position of more than 50% of the world's super share.
The relevant person in charge of WM Motor also believes: "In fact, the decline in subsidies for new energy vehicles did not start in 2021, and has been in a state of decline in the past few years, but from a realistic point of view, the overall sales of new energy vehicles in 2019 fell slightly by 4%; the overall sales volume in 2020 increased by 10%; and as of November, the sales of new energy vehicles in 2021 have doubled compared with 2020." Based on the decline in new energy subsidies and the growth trend of sales over the years, it can be seen that the impact of subsidies on the new energy vehicle market is short-lived, and the growth is still a major trend. ”
