At the beginning of November, Xi'an issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the High-quality Development of the New Energy Automobile Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions"), striving to reach about 500,000 new energy vehicles in the city by 2025, and strive to fully realize electrification by 2030.
The words "Implementation Opinions" to fully realize electrification are difficult not to think of the "Hainan Provincial Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan" that has been issued before, which makes it clear that Hainan Province will ban the sale of fuel vehicles from 2030 onwards!
So, in the context of the "double carbon" goal, will Xi'an completely ban fuel vehicles?

Total ban on fuel vehicles? Not!
First of all, it should be explained that compared with the "Hainan Provincial Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan", Xi'an's "Implementation Opinions" does not have such words as "banning fuel vehicles".
The whole article focuses on the improvement of industrial scale
"One leap and four breakthroughs"
"Supporting technology research and improvement of supporting facilities construction"
Supporting technology research and upgrading of supporting facilities construction
"Strive to in 2025, the city's automotive power batteries to form a supporting Xi'an, supply the country, production and marketing scale in the forefront of the country's development pattern"
At the same time, from this Xi'an "Implementation Opinions", it can be seen that the next step of the government will continue to keep up with new energy support.
According to the "Implementation Opinions", by 2022, the city will have 200 newly built and put into operation centralized charging stations and 10,000 charging piles. Strive to complete and put into operation 350 new energy vehicle charging stations and 20,000 charging piles by 2025.
Although the article does not mention where the fuel vehicle goes, there is such a paragraph that can be understood that for the time being, in the direction, it is still "encouraging the promotion and use of the private sector", and the proportion of private purchase of new energy vehicles is increased through the incentive policy of new energy vehicles - continuous improvement of supporting parking convenience, unlimited travel, charging pile subsidies, etc.
Encourage the private sector to promote use.
Continue to implement preferential policies such as parking convenience, unlimited travel, and charging pile subsidies for new energy vehicles. By 2025, the proportion of privately purchased new energy vehicles will increase year by year, and strive to account for about 50% of the new energy vehicles purchased by newly registered individuals in the city.
——The original text of the Implementation Opinions of the General Office of the Xi'an Municipal People's Government on Accelerating the High-quality Development of the New Energy Automobile Industry
In summary, the total ban on fuel vehicles is not so far, but in the long run, new energy seems to be the trend of the times.

"No fuel vehicles", there is a precedent?
In December 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference set the goal of "China's carbon dioxide emissions strive to peak by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060".
In the context of the "double carbon" goal proposed, the popularity of "new energy vehicles" continues to soar, Xi'an is not the first city to release documents related to the high-quality development of new energy vehicles, as early as 2019, Hainan Province issued the "Hainan Province Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan", the first in the country to propose: 2030 began to ban the sale of fuel vehicles.
As one of the provinces with the highest oil prices in the country, Hainan, which is familiar with the sunshine and beach ecology, seems to be more urgent to develop new energy.
In 2021, after the launch of the new energy development plan, a total of 36,482 new energy vehicles were added to the province from January to October this year, an increase of 130.64% year-on-year, of which individual users accounted for 85.11%.
At such a growth rate, there is more than one development plan.
From the information collected, it can also be seen that there are corresponding "Declarations for Comprehensive Incentives for Promoting the Consumption of New Energy Vehicles" in various parts of Hainan Province. That is to say, before the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in Hainan in 2030, the government has already introduced a corresponding incentive mechanism to encourage consumers to choose new energy.
This is seen in Xi'an's "Implementation Opinions", and relevant policies are also seen in a notice recently issued by the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Commerce, such as the "Xi'an New Energy Vehicle Consumption 100-Day Action Subsidy Implementation Rules" recently issued by the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Commerce.
1
November 25, 2021 to February 28, 2022 (subject to the time of the uniform invoice for motor vehicle sales);
2
Complete the registration and obtain the special number plate for new energy vehicles before March 31, 2022 (subject to the registration date of the motor vehicle driving license).
Individual residents who purchase new energy vehicles from limited automobile sales enterprises registered in Xi'an Can give a one-time comprehensive subsidy according to the purchase price of the car (see the official website of the Xi'an Bureau of Commerce for details).
From the provinces that have clearly defined the "ban on the sale of fuel vehicles" and the "Implementation Opinions" launched by Xi'an, it is not difficult to see that in the past decade, for private car owners, the purchase of new energy vehicles should still be based on incentive policies.

Will fuel vehicles be eliminated?
At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, six major automakers, including BYD and Mercedes-Benz, signed a pledge to phase out the production of fuel vehicles worldwide by 2040.
So is it not another 20 years, fuel vehicles will completely withdraw from the market? If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that there is also the word "gradual stop" in this commitment.
According to state media reports, since July this year, France, Canada and other countries have successively released information that the sale of fuel vehicles will be completely banned by 2040, and the simultaneous strategy is also "to incentivize the French people to replace polluting vehicles with clean energy vehicles through economic means."
Back to the "ban on combustion" that has been heard endlessly in recent years, we have to admit that stopping the production and sales of fuel vehicles and developing new energy vehicles is an important way to cope with global climate change and achieve carbon neutrality, but the current development of new energy technologies and the supporting of new energy require more time, after all, the transformation is destined to be a long-term and complex process.

As far as Feng Wujun himself is concerned, it is also this year that you, when rubbing the car of friends around you, for the first time felt the sense of science and technology of domestic new energy vehicles, in addition to speeding up completely without losing high-end fuel vehicles, the function of automatic driving is also enough to make people marvel (although it is not very mature to be completely reassuring).
At present, there are also reasons for not choosing new energy vehicles. The main thing is the battery life, as well as the current supporting charging pile, or not enough to achieve very convenient. For example, the experience of rubbing the car, it is a long distance, we need to find the perfect parking spot for charging for an hour, and then continue to travel, if there is no planned line, or temporary situation, it will be more embarrassing power outage on the road.
However, it is not difficult to see from Xi'an's "Implementation Opinions" that in the future, these problems will become the focus of solutions.
Therefore, when the technology and supporting facilities are more mature, Feng Wujun himself as the owner of the car, with sufficient funds, domestic new energy vehicles will inevitably become the first choice.
