The "Notice" makes it clear that in 2022, the current purchase subsidy system framework and threshold requirements will remain unchanged The subsidy standard for new energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021.
At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of Caijian [2020] No. 86 document, the implementation period of the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles has been extended to the end of 2022. Taking into account factors such as the development plan of the new energy automobile industry, the market sales trend and the smooth transition of enterprises, in order to maintain the good development momentum of the new energy automobile industry and stabilize the industry and consumer expectations, the Notice clarifies that the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31, 2022, and the vehicles licensed after December 31 will no longer be subsidized.
The decline of subsidies means that individuals will bear more costs for consumers, and for car companies, it means that they will rely more on quality and word-of-mouth to sell cars in the future. In addition, there are views that the decline of new energy subsidies may have an impact on the sales of new energy vehicles. However, there are also views that because the subsidy standard remains unchanged and the battery technology is improving, the policy mainly promotes the substantial growth of the scale of new energy vehicles.
