With the industry’s eager anticipation, the "chess" of the central government has finally settled, and the policy that exceeded expectations has once again brought warmth to the new energy vehicle market.

On March 31, the executive meeting of the State Council determined that in order to promote automobile consumption, one is to extend the purchase subsidy and purchase tax exemption policy for new energy vehicles for two years. Second, the central government has adopted awards for subsidies to support Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other key areas in phasing out diesel trucks with emission standards below National III. The third is to levy a value-added tax at a reduction of 0.5% of sales from May 1 to the end of 2023 for the sale of used cars by second-hand car dealerships. Among them, the most concerned is the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase subsidy and the purchase tax exemption policy for two years. Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Joint Council, said: The core of these policies is to promote environmental protection upgrades, improve the environment, and at the same time effectively promote the sustainable development of future automobile market consumption and promote automobile consumption upgrades. Especially to promote the sustainable development of new energy vehicles.

New energy vehicle stocks emerged

U.S. stocks fluctuated sharply on Tuesday. After opening lower, they turned up once again, then turned down again near midday, and then fluctuated down. The decline in late trading expanded.

Dangsheng Technology, Quanfeng Automobile, and Leo shares are among the top gainers. After the implementation of new energy subsidies in June last year, my country's new energy vehicle sales began to decline sharply, resulting in a 4.0% year-on-year decline in new energy vehicle sales in 2019 to 1.206 million units. This is the first time that my country's new energy vehicle sales have shown negative growth in the past ten years. One year. At the same time, the domestic new energy vehicle market has experienced an "eight consecutive decline." In February, the impact of the epidemic dropped sharply. The production and sales of new energy vehicles were 9,951 and 12,908, respectively, down 82.9% and 75.2% year-on-year. The automobile consumer market under the influence of the epidemic has been greatly impacted, and the new energy automobile industry has been under increased pressure. The industry believes that the continuation of the subsidy policy is conducive to stabilizing automobile consumption and ensuring the healthy operation of the industry.

Cui Dongshu said that the implementation of the new energy subsidy policy this time will drive output to 1.6 million units in 2020, an increase of 23% year-on-year; more importantly, it will make a good contribution to the continued growth of China's new energy market in the future. Especially with the rapid development of new energy in Europe and the rapid transformation, China must keep up with the international pace. He also emphasized: "Car companies should firm up the new energy transition route and strive to promote the transition of traditional vehicles to new energy."

Xiaopeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng said on Weibo: "I believe this must be the biggest policy benefit of recent times. Thank the government! We just think that 2022 will be the beginning of a turning point for smart cars, with seamless connections." Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The released "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" (draft for comments) once proposed that my country's new energy vehicle sales will account for about 25% by 2025, and the sales of new energy vehicles are expected to reach 700 by 2025. In 2019, the domestic sales volume was 1.206 million vehicles, and it will continue to maintain rapid growth in the next five years. At this time, the national policy is tantamount to sending charcoal in a snowy, extending the new energy vehicle purchase subsidy and the purchase tax exemption policy for two years, indicating that the country has further firmly supported the new energy vehicle industry.
