For new energy vehicle companies, making money is not only by selling cars, selling carbon credits is also a large amount of income, take Tesla, the company in 2020 through the sale of carbon credits to obtain $1.58 billion in operating income, in the first quarter of 2021 through the sale of carbon credits to obtain $518 million in revenue.
In August 2021, the U.S. Highway Safety Administration issued a notice planning to impose higher penalties on automakers who did not meet emission standards, which of course was strongly opposed by many car companies, because if the bill was established, then these car companies would lose at least $1 billion a year, so the bill did not take effect.
Although the bill was not passed, it gave Tesla the opportunity to "make unreasonable trouble". Recently, Tesla in the United States asked for greater penalties for fuel-hungry vehicles, on the grounds that environmental pollution is too harmful and is not conducive to the requirements of the current "carbon neutrality" policy. Of course, the US court directly dismissed Tesla's request, without giving Tesla any face.
Although Tesla is known as "selling carbon credits is to help traditional fuel car companies meet the government's car emission requirements", but in fact, it is nothing more than a matter of interest, now is the traditional car companies to new energy car companies to transform an important moment, no one can achieve overnight, so these car companies still need a lot of carbon points, the United States local car companies have to buy in Tesla's hands, but the cost of traditional car companies to buy carbon points will increase to the price of the product, and finally consumers have to pay, in the face of rising prices of fuel vehicles, Consumers will definitely be repelled, and then they will buy new energy vehicles, Tesla can be said to be a double harvest.
