With the joint efforts of all parties, the technical level of New Energy Vehicles in China has continued to improve, product performance has been significantly improved, and the scale of production and marketing has ranked first in the world for six consecutive years.

In April 2020, the four ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Notice on Improving the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles" (Caijian [2020] No. 86), which clarified that "in principle, the subsidy standards for 2020-2022 will be reduced by 10%, 20% and 30% respectively on the basis of the previous year, and the subsidy standards for vehicles that meet the requirements in the field of public transportation will not be regressed in 2020, and the subsidy standards for 2021-2022 will be reduced by 10% and 20% respectively on the basis of the previous year." In principle, the maximum subsidy scale is about 2 million vehicles per year." In 2021, the new energy automobile industry has achieved substantial growth in the face of adverse effects such as the spread of the global epidemic and the shortage of chips, and the industrial development trend is good. In 2022, the subsidy policy will continue to decline in an orderly manner according to the established arrangements to create a stable policy environment, and the four ministries and commissions recently jointly issued the "Notice", which clarified the relevant requirements of the financial subsidy policy.

In recent years, under the impetus of subsidy policies to support the excellent and support the strong, the supply quality of new energy vehicle products in China has continued to improve, the technical level has made significant progress, and the practicality of products has been greatly improved. According to the provisions of Caijian [2020] No. 86 document "2021-2022, in principle, maintain the overall stability of technical indicators", the purchase subsidy policy in 2022 maintains the energy density, mileage, energy consumption and other technical indicator thresholds of the power battery system unchanged, stabilizing the expectations of enterprises.
