Introduction: A few days ago, the relevant departments confirmed that the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles will be officially terminated in 2022. This news has sparked heated discussions in the society, and for a while, there have been many voices surrounding the topic of extending subsidies for new energy vehicles. Are new energy vehicles still “fragrant” without subsidies? How will new energy vehicles develop in the future?
With the acceleration of electrification of the automobile industry and the change of people’s consumption concept, the development of new energy vehicles has ushered in a new growth point. The data shows that the number of new energy vehicles in my country in 2021 will be 7.84 million, accounting for 2.6% of the total number of vehicles. The rapid development of new energy vehicles is inseparable from the implementation of the new energy purchase subsidy policy.
Many people are curious: why does the development of new energy vehicles still need the support of subsidy policies?
On the one hand, my country’s new energy vehicles have a short history of development, and the investment in technology research and development is relatively high. In addition, the high replacement cost of batteries and the rapid depreciation of used cars have also become obstacles to the promotion of new energy vehicles.
Subsidy policies are of great significance to the development of new energy vehicles. The subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles, which has been implemented since 2013, has greatly promoted the development of the domestic new energy vehicle industry and the entire industry chain in the past few years. Promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
A few days ago, relevant departments confirmed that the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles will be officially terminated in 2022. This news has sparked heated discussions in the society, and for a while, there have been many voices surrounding the topic of extending subsidies for new energy vehicles.
In this context, some representatives suggested that the state subsidies should be postponed for one to two years, the procedures for receiving early subsidies would be simplified, and the financial pressure of enterprises should be eased; research efforts should be strengthened and other incentive policies should be improved as soon as possible to ensure that the market is effective and sustainable after the new energy vehicle subsidies are completely stopped. development, and complete the “14th Five-Year Plan” target for the innovative development of new energy vehicles.
The government also responded quickly. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that this year, it will continue to implement policies such as subsidies for the purchase of new energy vehicles, awards and subsidies for charging facilities, and reduction and exemption of vehicle and vessel taxes. At the same time, it will carry out new energy vehicles to the countryside.
This is not the first time that my country has carried out new energy vehicles to the countryside. In July 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Commerce issued the “Notice on Carrying out New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside Activities”, which opened the door for new energy vehicles to go to the countryside. prelude. Since then, the national level has successively issued the “Notice on Carrying out the Activities of New Energy Vehicles Going to the Countryside in 2021″ and “The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan to Promote the Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Areas”. Cars will be sent to the countryside, and the construction of charging and swapping infrastructure in county towns and central towns will be improved.
Today, in order to boost the consumption of new energy vehicles and further promote the development of vehicle electrification, the country has once again implemented the “new energy vehicles to the countryside”. Whether it can promote the development of new energy vehicle-related industries this time remains to be tested by time.
Compared with cities, the coverage rate of new energy vehicles in the vast rural areas is actually not high. Data shows that the electrification rate of rural residents’ vehicles is less than 1%. The low penetration rate of new energy vehicles in rural areas is related to many factors, among which Incomplete infrastructure such as charging piles is the main reason.
As the income of rural residents increases, rural residents have become potential consumers of new energy vehicles. How to open the consumer market of new energy vehicles in rural areas has become the key to the development of the current new energy vehicle industry.
The infrastructure in rural areas is not yet perfect, and the number of charging piles and replacement stations is small. The effect of blindly promoting pure electric vehicles may not be ideal, while gasoline-electric hybrid models have both power and price advantages, which can not only accelerate the development of automobiles in rural areas. Electricity can also bring a good user experience. Under such circumstances, it may be a better choice to develop a gasoline-electric hybrid model according to local conditions.
The development of new energy vehicles to this day still has outstanding problems such as weak innovation capability of key core technologies such as chips and sensors, lagging infrastructure construction, backward service models, and imperfect industrial ecology. Under the background that policy subsidies are about to be cancelled, car companies should take advantage of the policy of new energy vehicles to go to the countryside to develop key core technologies, innovate service models, build a complete industrial chain and a sound industrial ecological environment, and vigorously promote infrastructure construction in the country. Under the background, realize the dual development of new energy vehicles in urban and rural areas.
