New energy vehicle promotion catalog will be abolished

“To buy a car is equivalent to earning 170,000!” In September 2014, Zou Qiang, a businessman on a business trip in Shanghai, said with his friends that he had talked about Shanghai's new energy car policy.

In order to allow pregnant concubines to work without crowding the subway, Zou Qiang, working in Beijing, decided to buy a car. After three years of unsuccessful shaking, he turned his attention to new energy vehicles that can enjoy a single Yaohao policy. Different from Shanghai’s policy, Beijing’s current new energy vehicles are confined to pure electric vehicles, and only seven models have been short-listed for the “Beijing Municipal Demonstration and Application of New Energy Minibus Manufacturers and Product Catalog” (hereinafter referred to as “Beijing”). The catalogue ") is known to consumers as "fewer models, high prices, and short battery life."

The second and third batch of model catalogues originally scheduled for release in June and September this year are still not heard. Like other car buyers, Zou Qiang expects that Beijing, like Shanghai, can incorporate plug-in hybrid models into the new energy vehicle promotion catalog. Allowing consumers to have a second choice outside of pure electric vehicles.

Beijing consumers envy the Shanghai policy. Shanghai’s new energy automobile policy has Zou Qiang’s endless admiration. Hearing friends, buying a new energy vehicle in Shanghai can not only provide free licenses but also enjoy subsidies from the state, localities, and manufacturers. More importantly, plug-in hybrid cars can be purchased in Shanghai just like the purchase of pure electric cars, which can either be recharged or fueled.

A Roewe 4S shop staff in Shanghai calculated the bill for the reporter. Taking the plug-in hybrid of 250,000 yuan as an example, the Roewe 550PLUG-IN as an example, consumers can enjoy a purchase tax reduction of 16,000 yuan and come from countries and regions. Up to 6.5 million yuan in subsidies from manufacturers, in addition, Shanghai's district governments may also add 15,000 to 20,000 yuan in subsidies for new energy vehicles to buy cars, plus the removal of 70,000 yuan in Shanghai license plate fees, equivalent to 150,000 yuan to buy a Licensed car. The price of the Roewe 550 with an ordinary fuel version of 1.8L is around 130,000, plus a 70,000 yuan Shanghai license, and the price is as high as 200,000 yuan.

In addition to the cost of car purchase, the cost of using new energy vehicles has also dropped significantly. Zou Qiang’s friend told him that the expenditure on fuel and electricity for new energy vehicles is one-third of that for conventional gasoline vehicles, and that only a single year can save thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

The attractive subsidy policies, coupled with plug-in hybrid vehicles do not have to worry about mileage and charging issues, plug-in hybrid vehicles in Shanghai have already been in short supply.

According to data released by BYD (002594.SZ), BYD's plug-in hybrid "Qin" has accumulated sales of nearly 6,500 units in January-July this year, with over 8,500 non-delivery orders, and Shanghai sales and order quantity exceeding 2500 at the end of August. station. Previously, BYD chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said in an interview with reporters that "Qin"'s production capacity has not been able to keep up, is currently trying to expand production capacity.

Shanghai's huge new energy auto market has also attracted attention from other manufacturers. JAC and Dongfeng Nissan selected their first listed city and starter city for new energy vehicles in Shanghai.

After traveling for a few days, Zou Qiang has been driving a friend's car. He can not help but say with emotion that "it is still a good policy in Shanghai, more options, more subsidies!"

The Beijing new energy automobile market appears to be somewhat depressed compared to the Shanghai market where the plug-in hybrid vehicles do not enjoy Beijing subsidies.

In the first half of this year, Beijing has released a total of 9,996 new energy minibus indicators. According to media reports, the number of plug-in hybrids in Beijing in the first half of the year was only 300 vehicles, and the utilization rate of new energy vehicles was only 3.5%.

The reason is that Beijing New Energy's license plate is almost a “shake is in the middle” compared with the traditional license plate that is difficult to obtain. At present, there are seven models of the first batch of “Beijing List” short-listed models: Beiqi E150EV, BYD e6, Jianghuai and Yuet iEV, BAIC C70GB, BYD Tengshi, BMW Brilliance and SAIC Roewe E50. There is little room for choice. Coupled with the BMW Brilliance is still in the "only rent not sell" stage, which is equivalent to only 6 cars can eventually enter the consumer's purchase line of sight.

In the past few months, Zou Qiang did not visit the 4S shop to buy a car. He read the 7 models in the Beijing promotion catalog over and over, and he did not choose a satisfactory car.

Take the BYD e6 (300 kilometers in cruising range), which is the longest in life, as an example, after deducting subsidies of 114,000 yuan from the state and local governments, the price of the e6 is as high as 200,000 yuan. The price of the Roewe E50 (cruising mileage of 120 kilometers) after subsidy deduction is also Up to 170,000 yuan. Due to its high price and short mileage, Zou Qiang finally gave up.

Earlier, Ouyang Minggao, head of the national 863 plan energy conservation and new energy automobile major project expert group, said in an interview with reporters that plug-in hybrid vehicles will be an important part of the national "13th Five-Year Plan". Electric hybrid models are more conducive to marketing.

Wang Chuanfu also told reporters that dual-mode electric vehicles (ie, plug-in hybrid vehicles) solve consumers' “mileage concerns” and are the first choice for private new energy vehicles.

According to the data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first half of 2014, BYD's new energy car market share reached 37%, of which the market share of plug-in hybrid vehicles exceeded 60%.

The aforementioned Roewe 4S shop staff told the reporter that in the monthly orders, plug-in hybrid power accounted for three-quarters of the total, compared with the number of people buying pure electric vehicles.

"If plug-in hybrids don't use Yaobang in Beijing, I'll buy one right the first time." Zou Qiang said he was very confused and many charging piles in Beijing are idle. Why not promote plug-in hybrid vehicles?

The plug-in hybrid vehicles that are more easily promoted are excluded from the promotion catalogue. Beijing's practice has attracted industry skepticism. Dong Yang, vice president and secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, once wrote in his blog that “Beijing does not meet the requirements of the State Council first, and secondly it does not understand the significance of the demonstration and application of new energy vehicles”. Said that the relevant departments "for the sake of self-interest, more evil cases."

“Because Beijing's enterprises did not produce plug-in hybrid vehicles, Beijing excluded the vehicle from the list of new energy vehicle promotion. This is a typical local protection.” Jia Xinguang, chief analyst at the Beijing Automotive Industry Research Institute, told reporters Indicated.

The local new energy vehicle promotion catalog or the entry of the abolition countdown on July 21 this year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Guidance Opinion on Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), clearly pointing out that all regions must implement national unified The list of new energy vehicle promotion may not be used to formulate local promotion catalogues.

Afterwards, on August 29, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration of Taxation issued the "Catalogue of New Energy Vehicle Models Exempted from Vehicle Purchase Taxes (First Batch)" (hereinafter referred to as the "tax exempt catalog"). For pure electric vehicles, there are 17 Passenger car models, 75 passenger car models and 5 special car models were selected; in terms of plug-in hybrids, there were 6 passenger car models and 10 passenger car models selected.

Does this mean that Beijing consumers can buy plug-in hybrid vehicles?

An information source close to the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission told the reporter that the Beijing Municipal Administration is conscientiously implementing the "Opinions" and is also studying the access policy for plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Some industry experts pointed out that the "tax exemption list" is a national unified directory, not only a list of purchase tax exemptions, but also a list of countries that specify the scope of new energy vehicles and the specific vehicle models. The introduction of this directory means "Beijing Municipality." The list of places represented by the list of entries is abolished.

The staff of a Beijing BYD 4S shop told reporters that since the release of the “tax exemption catalog,” many consumers have come to the store to inquire about the BYD “Qin” subsidy policy. “Our 4S stores are also looking forward to Beijing’s expansion of the promotion model to plug-in hybrids. Power to subsidize."

The staff expects that after the "Opinions" and the "National Tax Exemption Catalogue" are announced, Beijing will definitely need to adjust its policies. Once the plug-in hybrid models are included, the sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles in Beijing will exceed Shanghai's sales. And Shenzhen. He also revealed that the store has begun to introduce a large number of BYD "Qin" to prepare or prepare for the blowout Beijing market.
